How Long Do We Have To Make the Game

Submissions open from November 27th 2020 at 7:00 AM to December 11th 2020 at 7:00 AM

yh but where do i have to post it

Once started, you can upload your project on the jam page. https://itch.io/jam/beginners-circle-jam-4

can i upload it to my itchio account or it's not allowed 

i mean if it been uploded to the jam page

Is it possible to use LBP3 to make a level which in of itself would be a game? Haven't tried the logic tools in LBP3 so it'd be an interesting challenge if you were allowed to, and of course keeping with the jam theme.

Submitted

Are we required to create all the game assets (I'm referring to Art and Music) during the jam? Or can we use assets we have the legal rights to use? I'm rubbish at music and sound effects and have no real interest in making them

You have to make you own art if you want Originality points. And for music, you can use Royalty-free musi

yup

hahaha nice one

I don't really know, but I'm guessing most teams here will be mix of jacks of all/many trades. A good thing.

But hypothetically, if a team was composed entirely of specialists, what skills are necessary to make a strong team, at minimum size, in your opinion?

edit: clarity

(+2)

don't take my word for it, but i think a programmer, an artist, and a music producer will make a very good team.

Are we gonna do in 2D or 3D?

i think both.

oh ok

are we judged on art quality and audio quality? because i lack skill in both categories

I think so, but this jam is about originality and learning! don't worry if your game has a do-it-yourself aesthetic, it's part of the fun! there's also plenty of people on discord forming teams to take care of that stuff

(+1)

actually i found a team now that will help me in both categories. thanks!

Submitted

Angrysmile, are there any games you've made before? And where can we find them?

:D

Can i use sprites for game from internet?

I suggest not, cause you lose points if you take assets from the internet.

Submitted

can I use cinemachine from unity or do I have to make an entire system from the ground up?

Why not? I mean its still a Beginner Game Jam.

The host prob. mean we need to use our own Art / Music ( Assets ).

It says that we have to make everything ourselves including code but Brackeys has a pretty good character controller script. Will it break the rules if I use it? I am probably going to edit it a bit if that helps.

Submitted

I suppose not, because following a tutorial is not necessarily wrong, many do that. I also think u just have to use Ur own art.

:D

what is the theme 

Game show

Hello, thank you for organizing this jam! 

itch.io tells me I can't rate the other games because I have not submitted my game, but I have participated to the game jam. Our programmer posted it a few hours before the deadline, and he added us as co-authors. How can I rate and give my feedback to other contestants?  https://phaserdev.itch.io/home-for-the-holiday

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Submitted

Hi!

This jam was really fun, thank you to all organizers!

I would like to comment and vote for other game but Itch.io tell that I didn’t submitted my game...

However I submitted a game  in time, can you explain me?

Thanks for your time!😊
