Hey there. 👋

I can't find your game on gd.games in the "GDevelop game jam 5"  jam category,  could you please send me a link to your game uploaded to gd.games, or add it to your game's itch page in the description and reply to let me know. 👍

As long as you're game is still in the jam, you're good. With itch, if you update the game file during the voting period of a jam, it will kick you from the jam, so if you made a mistake you would definitely have noticed. 😅

If your game is still in the jam, you're fine. 👍

The results of the jam won't be released at the end of the community voting period, because the judges need time to pick their favorites and then a video will be made to show off the community winners and the judges' picks at the same time. (Please do not update your game until Wednesday, so the judges have time to properly assess your game.)

Releasing both sets of winners at the same time, along with the video, will create a bigger celebration for us all to be involved with.

So keep an eye out for the video that should be released on Friday on the GDevelop YouTube channel. 👍

While we wait for the announcement video, go check out videos/streams/social media posts created by the community with #GDevelop or #GDevelopGameJam5 from the jam. 😉

Hey. 👋

I noticed you weren't able to upload to itch with a html version of your game, so please add the link to your gd.games version on your game page so people can play that version.

We don't have anything made for that, but feel free to snag the title art on the jam page and use it for the opening scene in your game. 👍

They give you an extra jump in the air.

No, you can't update your game until after the voting phase is over and the results are released.

I've seen rate for rate spamming ruin the scoring of jams in the past, and I'd like to see a fair and honest jam here.

It's alright to ask someone to play your game if you've played, rated, and gave feedback to their game. But blanket "rate for rate" callouts can really mess with ratings as people try to collect as many ratings as they can without playing/having their own game played.

If I find people posting blanket "rate for rate" posts here, they will be removed. If I find too much of that happening, the community tab will be removed entirely.

DM me on discord ASAP. 👍

Keep trying to upload to gd.games, you need that in order to be considered for the prizes.

But you can upload to gd.games after the submission date, just make sure your itch version is uploaded and submitted to the jam before the end of the time limit, and you can get the gd.games version working up to a few days after the end of the jam.

Hey folks, sorry to say the video the jam will be delayed to tomorrow mid-day.

I had some file corruption issues that I couldn't recover, and there wasn't enough time to remake the video for today.

So the announcement will be tomorrow mid-day, 11am EST.

I see it there. 👍

You'll probably be fine, the NSFW rule is mostly about nudity/sexual content or over the top realistic violence.

Cartoony violence in a game is fine.

Of course. 👍

Thanks for sharing, they've been disqualified. 👍

This game has been disqualified from winning because it was not made with GDevelop.

We'll try our best, within reason, to get the money to the people who won it. If they don't have/can't make a paypal account, we'll discuss that with them after the jam and find the best way to transfer the money to them. 👍

1. If your team members join the jam, it'll make the jam look more impressive by having a bigger number of people joined. 😉

2. Yes, to properly give out prizes and rewards to team members they should be added as admins to your game project on itch and as authors on gd.games. You can add admins on itch and change the authors of a game on gd.games after the submission deadline, but having them added will help us when giving out prizes/crediting creators.

You can't be part of two teams/games in the jam.

Your time is better spent focusing on a single game anyway, better to make the most polished single entry that you can. 👍

I'll fix that in the FAQ, thanks for pointing it out. 😅

The results from the jam will be released on Friday, along with the favorite games from the judges.

The video will be released on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8RsU74-hU1pfNKHNMfiFfw

It doesn't need to be a game made with the physics behavior, try looking up the definition of unstable and some synonyms, that might help come up with ideas that wouldn't require physics.

You don't have the legal right to use the work of other people without their permission, I suggest you look for other assets to use instead.

itch.io and opengameart.org both have a large collections to look through.

Yes, that's fine, as long as your game is added to the jam before the deadline. 👍

AI itself isn't explicitly banned for this jam, but you of course must have the legal right to use all of the assets in your game, which means that AI tools trained on the wide open internet without the permission of the artists that it learned from are not allowed to be used. So the answer is "it depends" on how the AI tool you're using was trained. 😅

I hope that helps.

As long as it's before the deadline, you can update your game as much as you want, yeah. 👍

Because in horror movies, the characters always make the worst decisions. 😅

Glad I could help. 👍

You're welcome. 👍

There's no category for it on the website yet, just the genre for games. We'll add a page soon. 👍

Happy late Halloween. 🎃

Great. 👍

The scream jam tag will only be up for around another week, so it's best to post it soon and update it later. 👍

Hey there! 👋

If you haven't done it yet, and you'd like more people to find/play your game, you can upload it to gd.games with the genre tag "Scream-jam" and have the game added to the scream jam section on gd.games. 👍
