The idea of creating an interactive mini-map created by random internet people is fantastic. Please continue to develop this. It's very cool.

This is nice! I normally use https://indiegamejams.com/ but I feel this is less overwhelming to look at and the "in progress"/ "not started" is really useful. I've bookmarked it!
I can see what you're trying to do here and with some more polishing this could be really unique. Currently, I feel there's a bit too much text and reliance on external worksheets. If those could be bundled in with the program instead of filling them out yourself, that would really make this shine.
But I really love the idea of teaching game developers how to map out their story ideas, or not even game developers. This would be great for kids to get them into writing and being more creative.
Seeing Clippy on my screen is pretty funny. You could take this many steps further though and implement the Clippy animations. I always hated the one where it would raise it's eyebrows at me with this really smug look. Also, nice touch on the passive aggressive Clippy pop-up messages.
The ability to change pop-up time would be a nice addition as well. Nice job, a fun little app that's brimming with possibilities.
Hello! Jumping on this as I started a Jam a couple of weeks ago and it still isn't showing up on itch, you need a direct link to it. Also, I've noticed someone made a post on the community page but I can't interact with it at all; I can only edit or delete it. Has my account been banned from hosting jams? When I click on the Jams tab and then "Jams Hosted", nothing shows up. I have to go into my jams dashboard to see it.
I'm just confused as the Jam q&a has no guidance on this? thank you.
Unreal Engine Free For The Month Jam - October 2023
Have you wanted to get into using Unreal Engine but don't know where to start? Free for the Month jam is the jam for you then!
Each month, Epic make a bunch of assets and plugins free for the whole month. This month there's:
- A Gladiator Arena Environment Kit
- Dreamscape: Stylised Environment Kit
- NPC Optimiser plug in
- EP Master Materials
- Deep Elder Caves Environment Kit
The aim of the jam is to create something using the free for the month content! It doesn't have to be a game, it can be a singular mechanic or objective or simply opening up one of the demo maps that comes with it and modifying it yourself.
Using this months assets as an example you could create:
- An in-game widget that allows you to view all the materials in the master materials pack, select one and apply it to a static mesh in the level.
- A simple game using the Elder Caves demo map that requires you to locate a "treasure" item and leave the cave with it.
- Using the gladiator kit, the player must escape the arena by solving a simple puzzle.
- Fill the gladiator arena with very simple NPC's and use the NPC optimiser on them.
- Re-texture the gladiator arena or elder caves using the EP Master Materials pack.
This jam is all about learning and exploration with no pressure to complete a game. Everyone of all levels/experience are welcome to join.
The Rules:
- You must use at least 1 pack from the Free For The Month content.
- Anything else used must be free or created by yourself.
- AI generated content from Bing Image creator, Dall-e and Midjourney are allowed but should not be the main focus.
The Theme:
- There is no theme!
Time Limit:
- You have from the day the assets are released till when the next months assets are released.
Happy jamming!
