NOKIA 3310 JAM 6

If you have any questions about the rules of the jam that are not answered below feel free to ask them in this thread and I will get back to you as soon as I can! When can I start working on my game? Your game, including all assets outside of the resource page , should be made within the jam’s duration. Does my game have to run on a real Nokia 3310? Nope! We're just using the restrictions as a design space. Can I make my own engine? Yes! Many participants have done this. Feel free to make the framework before the jam begins. Just make sure it doesn’t put you ahead of other people using pre-made engines. How do I make my game as accurate as possible to the Nokia 3310? None of the following is necessary to submit a game and it won’t improve your score. This is for those who want to go the extra mile. Game fps should be 15. Ensure you are not using more "modern technology" like physics engines, 3d graphics, etc. The simpler the better. You could simulate the LCD's ghosting. The Nokia 3310’s screen also did not use perfectly square pixels. Each pixel was likely a 3:4 / 7:9 ratio. The Nokia 3310 was incapable of sub-pixel movement and sub-pixel scrolling so it is NOT allowed. This means all pixels must be perfectly aligned with the pixel grid. There should be no half-pixels even while moving. The ultimate challenge would be to get your game running on a real Nokia 3310! Only 12 controls are allowed but the Nokia 3310 has 16 buttons. The jam excludes the 4 menu buttons as they were usually used to navigate menu's and not play the actual game. Can I mix and match the three color palettes? No. You should be selecting one option and making your whole game with your selection. Palette swapping is allowed if it is an option/setting and not part of gameplay.

Hi! The rules mentioned you could have a Nokia 3310 frame surrounding the (simulated) 84x48 screen, does this mean a texture of the actual physical frame or something else? And would a black border be acceptable (just to fill out the small gap from the different aspect ratio in fullscreen)?

phillipHost1 year ago

Could be the texture or black bars to fill in the gaps! Sorry for getting back to you so late!

am I allowed to make pixels transparent?

phillipHost1 year ago

Only if you are simulating lcd ghosting, if you are using it for shading you are violating the color rule. Sorry for getting back to you late!

ChaosKidSubmitted1 year ago

The submission period hasn't ended yet, so it's okay to make small changes during this time, right?

phillipHost1 year ago

Yes! Submissions will only be locked after the dev period ends.

Are PS4/XBOX/etc controls allowed, or onkey kerboard controls?
Also, if we use GODOT 4.2 STARTER PROJECT by @eptwalabha, can we use the effects included in the project? (pixel shadow, pixel grain, door effect)

phillipHost1 year ago

Yes you could have those control mappings. Different mappings doesn't count towards the control rule. I am not familiar with GODOT but as long as those effects are within the restrictions of the jam, then yes.

Hi! I´ve submitted my game, here it is: Little Thomas saves the World by Danton19 for NOKIA 3310 JAM 6 - itch.io
It says that is part of this Jam, but I'm not seeing it on the Submissions list. Am I missing something?

phillipHost1 year ago

Looks like you've successfully submitted!

THE B345TSubmitted1 year ago

Hi :) Thank you for organising this awesome jam!

Is it okay to fix some bugs after the submission deadline? For example clicking inside the game causes some weird behaviour atm. but it is still playable.

phillipHost1 year ago

No, you'll have to wait until after the rating period is over.
