If you have any questions about the jam, put them here!

Are visual novels allowed?

Host(+1)

Of course! I would love to see a visual novel!

Awesome! Just wanted to clarify time as well--are we allowed a brainstorming few minutes that doesn't count towards the timing? I planned to stream my attempt at this and was wondering if maybe like 5-10 minutes allowed to think of ideas before the timer starts for the actual coding/asset creation?

Host(+3)

Yes, as soon as the game jam starts you can plan the idea first. The 60 Minutes only counts for when you are actually coding the game.

can i already make the sprites before coding?

Host

yes that is allowed.

Are we allowed to come up with an idea and create a planning before the 60 minutes start?

Host

No because you need to see the theme and that is announced when the game jam starts.

I see, but the jam lasts longer than 60 minutes

Host

That is because if I made the time only 60 minutes no games would even really be submitted. The game must still be made in 60minutes but I give people time if they can’t start straight away  or they need to try again.

Woops, I just reread the questions people asked previously and it looks like you already answered this question. My bad

Can we use AI for coding or image generation?

Host

Yes

Am I allowed to use external assets like music and graphics (copyright-free, with credit)?

Host

Yes.

Submitted

Thanks :)

Can we make build and upload after 60 min?

Host

You can upload after the 60 minutes but the game must be made with the coding and building with in the 60 minutes. And also you can not come up with the idea before. Cause as soon as the competition starts then the theme is announced.

How do we get the info on the theme

Host

I will create a community post on it and it is in the jam description and i will put the theme there too.

Submitted(+1)

Wheres the theme. The jam has started

Right like where is it.

Host

Oh Sorry? Adding it rn

Submitted

So theme is "There's A Delay"? No like srsly genuine question is that the theme?

sadly yes

Submitted(+1)
Can I send two games, each game with a different theme?
Host

Yes, I would love to see that!

Submitted (1 edit)

Wait do we have to make TWO games for the jam or only one with a theme of our choice from the given themes?

Host

No you only have to make 1 game for one of the theme but for some of the jam participants they want to make 2 games for the two themes but you do not have to.

is creating assets outside of the 60mins? so making assets isnt timed but implementing them would be 

Host

Creating assets is outside of the devtime, you can use premade assets or make new assets and they won’t count as part of the time.

Submitted

My game has a gamebreaking bug, for which I didn’t manage to find a fix in time (I would have needed like 3 more minutes, lol). The fix for it is very simple (just a change on 1 line). Am I allowed to fix it or should I keep the original version?

Host

You can fix it, going a little bit over the time 8 allowed but you just can’t go 30 minutes more then your original time.

Submitted

Is it just me, or did the deadline get extended by a day?

Host

No, nothing was changed to the deadline.

Submitted

Okay, might just be my mind playing tricks on me I guess.
