Showcasing will start after the jam is over, but will remain up permanently as a hub in VRChat. We may do the meetup / world hop at a later date since spookality is coming as well!  

Very cool project! Excited to try and play some of my backlog using this! 

Always next time!
Sorry to hear that you are having writers block! I relate to that so hard.

Hey guys! Here is a promotional poster template that you can send back with your submission to get featured in the jam hub!
Shoot it to me over on Discord! 

Its looking like the majority vote wanted to allow UI and text, so id say its good!
I will add it to the rules page soon!

I am excited to announce that the hub world for the VRStation Game Jam hosted in VRChat is ready and waiting to showcase all the incredible community submissions!

This is a virtual hub world that will serve as the central hub for this game jam. This immersive space is designed to not only display the amazing games you've all been creating but also to provide a vibrant, interactive environment for participants and visitors alike.

In this hub world, you'll find:

1. Game Showcases: Explore an array of showcases and displays dedicated to each game submission. You'll be able to dive into these games, experience their unique gameplay, and appreciate the creativity of your fellow participants. 
   (We will be announcing a few ways you can send in promotional material showcasing your submission closer to the deadline!)
   
   
2. Networking Opportunities: Connect with other developers, gamers, and enthusiasts in our dedicated hub world during our release! Share your ideas, discuss your projects, and make valuable connections within the VR gaming community.
   
3. Voting: Get ready to cast your votes for your favorite submissions! We'll have a voting on the Itch.io jam page!
   
4. Community Fun: Enjoy challenges, and surprises scattered throughout the hub world. This is not just a place to showcase games; it's a lively and engaging environment for all to enjoy.

Stay tuned for further updates and instructions on how to access the VRChat hub world for the game jam. We look forward to seeing you there and checking out all the neat stuff! 

Yep! Its really challenging, but its very possible with some clever tricks like mirroring UV's for things to save texture space and using vertex colors for other things that don't need textures. 

This is what my atlas looks like for my submission, which i could have saved a lot more atlas space with some cutting of textures in half and flipping them on the UV map. (particle systems were rough too since I had to put the smoke tex into the atlas for it to count)

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all having fun! 😄
I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing and if you're enjoying the event so far.
Personally, I'm having a great time working on my game, and it's been awesome seeing all the creativity and talent in this community.

Whether you're a seasoned game developer or a newbie, I'd love to hear about your experiences, challenges, and, of course, any cool ideas you're working on. Let's keep each other inspired and enjoying the journey!

Feel free to share your thoughts here or reach out for a chat on the Discord server!
