1) What is "New engine"? If I am making my game purely from scratch, using Visual Studio, can it be treated as self made engine? or maybe new use of old engine of Visual Studio?

2) Does the game must be new\free\small\final version? I am now developing a game, hope to finish beta by your deadline. It's alpha is even being sold on Steam. Can it be submitted? Of course, I'll provide a free copy(ies) to reviewer(s).

I have a game on here (Adventures'a Edge) but I'll be re-making it in Godot 3.0 (and it's little more than a tech demo). Would that be acceptable?

Please, we need a reply!

I wasnt at home sorry :c

to DireBoarGames; 1)I would say yes to the first (self made engine) 2) yes do it :) (if im not too late...)

to PlanetKiller: Its allowed. much is allowed here because its for fun :) and for learning something.

(sorry for typing errors etc, i had a 2 week computer break and im a bit rusty right now...)

Sorry, I wanted to answer earlier, but kept forgetting.

If engine I am using is allowed, I am happy to participate.

People from the web keep telling me, that C# WPF isn't suited for making games. So I guess we really have a new use of engine here. :)

Yeah, I'm going to have to follow someone who uses a windows application to do something it wasn't intended to do. That's just genius. Hope your project is a success and I'd like to try it out.

If you want, there are a free demo and a cheap alpha already available.

I am not sure I'll be able to finish everything by deadline.

Yes, I do hope to finish basic sanity checks, and make sure that game is playable (with all Beta content), but can't guarantee that all minor bugs will be fixed. Also, I can't guarantee I'll have enough time to make all possible resolutions by then. Will just one working resolution suffice, for the jam? Of course, I won't put it on sale until I optimize everything, but maybe the jam can get a limited version?


Almost forgot: There are 4 game rooms remaining to be added, and again, one month might not suffice to finish all images. Can some of rooms use placeholders?

I have a month to make a game that's bigger than Pokemon. I'm mainly going to focus upon major game mechanics and a few towns/routes. I'll be using other jams to motivate me to finish. Don't worry so much, do what you can and hope for the best. Just keep a couple days for bug-hunting and build tests.

I want to check one thing again. My game is not free. Should I attach a demo (which is already available) or send a free key to reviewer? In this case, will I be allowed to make a link to full game? That's why I joined in the first place.

I think it would be ok to do this with the demo and link the full version
