I’ve reached out to Antonio with my thoughts. This mentality is partly why I left the competition.

I’m flummoxed by this mentality. If Antonio and the team took your recommendation seriously and are trying to enforce it, then both you and the gbdev team don’t actually know what community means.

This stance is harmful to devs, and does not benefit the community or the developers. When I helped organize GB Compo 23, there was no discussion amongst us regarding requiring the ROM to be hosted indefinitely on compo’s website, nor repercussions for redaction.

Shameful.

I have to note, I was an organizer and judge for Compo ‘23 but withdrew from them after some disagreements and dissatisfaction with how the compo was held. I had no part in this decision, but had I been part of it still, I would have fought tooth and nail against it. 

There is no rule that states repercussions for withdrawal of a submission and returning of prize money. That is egregious. Do not return any money. You have my support.

We’ll make sure to make this clear in future Jams. X4 scaling seems to be the best option (the dimensions listed in this comment).

I help run GB Studio Central and this Jam, but this is my first year submitting. I actually got my two kids involved. After breakfast we sat down and brainstormed ideas first, then sketched them out on graph paper. Then we moved to the computers and used Pixel Studio. It took us the whole morning (with a break) to complete the works, and we submitted in the afternoon. Super proud of them, and this was a great experience as a family.

Black and white will make it easier when the ROM is compiled. If your two hues are too close in brightness, it will need to be processed first by our team.

You can colorize the scaled up version for your screenshot on the itch page.

As long as it follows the guidelines, you should be okay :)

Profiles tend not to show up in the search bar, but you can click your name on the top right to see your profile. Nice work!

Why would you make this. Do you not know how precious little free time I have???

I’ll try to get that fixed tonight!

Hey Wombat, one of the organizers here. I’ll get you a submission link later.

Instant pain.

Same thing happening to me. Using OpenEmu on Mac. (Was still able to beat the game using save states where I would usually save in game, it’s fantastic.)

Don’t forget Paint!

Posting this here so I don’t forget. I think one thing that can improve the flow of the game is not requiring the player to press A to advance/dismiss the overlay/notices. Since they don’t overtake the screen (which I like) it feels counter intuitive to dismiss them. I know that would mess up the grand total display, so either that can be relocated to an empty space, like the bottom left of the dice area, or simply give the alerts a timer to disappear (like a few seconds).

Love playing this!

Will do with the bug fixes.

Thanks for the Headsup, I’ll try to get that solved ASAP

Looks like I got it to trigger. I think I know what’s happening. Will try to solve it.

Could you describe the steps you took so I can try to reproduce/fix it?

Hey there, shoot me an email: admin@gbstudiocentral.com

We’ll use a variable-width font. There is no hard limit, but having it fit in one or two lines (30-60 characters) is best.

I’m one of the hosts (answering from my mobile device). You are welcome to submit, and while it’s not explicitly stated, it might be rejected as it’s not exactly “pixel art” and instead is a game asset. We’re looking for works that will function in a gallery, but I’ll reserve any judgements until I see it.

I think either way will still allow the hosts to see the submission.

No animation. It’s a still image, one frame. You are submitting a PNG.

How's this:

There’s no rule against it :)

You will post your PNG to Itch like you would a game then submit that link to the Jam.

There should be no engine. You are submitting a PNG file. Any image editing program is fine.

Why the spirit of the Jam is to create something specifically made for it, during the time of the Jam, there's no way for us to 100% verify that. If your image fits the specs and theme of the Jam, then it should be fine. 

Thanks for your thoughtful response :)

Great philosophy.

What I’m referring to is taking all the submissions and downloading them, then zipping them to a single bundle. It’s easier this way to load all of them to a flash cart and play them for voting.

Congrats on a successful Jam! As an organizer, you should be able to download all submissions as a Zip if I’m not mistaken. Would you willing to share that? We could host it on GBS Central if bandwidth is a concern.

Are the sparkles done with actor’s or tileswaps? Great work in such a limited timeframe!
