tardy quartz
#

So I need to use the butler tool to upload my game

wooden bramble
#

its really easy

#

let me see if i have an example command line

tardy quartz
#

Do I have to use Epics submission page or can I just give them the URL?

wooden bramble
#

Upload with butler then go to epic jam page and select your game to submit

tardy quartz
#

I know the commands, just kinda confused on that part

#

Ah ok

wooden bramble
#

But you need to make your game public i believe

#

or released idk

deep stag
#

steam wont connect 😦

wintry beacon
#

Does anybody know how 'complex' the form is? when submitting? i've never done this before so im just curious. should submit in around 2-3 hours but just curious

wet rivet
#

Simple form leave at least 10 minutes but you need info from all team members

#

you can click submit project to preview it

spring magnet
#

Good evening slackers

rugged plaza
#

Faceplants.... I got my windows version under 100Mb too... Good luck everyone but I AM DONE!!!!

wintry beacon
#

ah ok @wet rivet thanks . just things like emails? team member names etc?

compact cedar
#

I'm clearly not suited for Jams

rugged plaza
#

@compact cedar nobody is :O

deep stag
#

im going to die

#

steam not working

#

🙃

compact cedar
#

so many new things to try...and no time

deep stag
#

5 hours to fix ig

wintry beacon
#

im so anxious its insane

#

cant wait to get this done

steep needle
#

how to package game with assets that are actually used in map, not a bunch of other assets sitting in other folders?

#

Migrate would probably work, but is there other method?

sage sky
#

i started a project and never had time to finish it. ripppp

small fern
#

196 entries now

hidden flicker
#

@steep needle you have to select maps

#

in package settings

#

and then it only package the content referenced by those maps

#

like so

#

the only thing is if you forget to include a map, its not going to remember for you

steep needle
#

awesome, thanks

#

currently I've removed plugins, no matter what I did, ue4 builder had issues with them. That way errors got so far reduced to some blueprints errors because of FMOD leftovers, I'm waiting for team to fix it and try packaging again

hidden flicker
#

alright good luck

#

time is of the essence

steep needle
#

oh defo will need it, thanks

#

any other options you could recommend? Noticed you checked on 'create compressed cooked packages' @hidden flicker

hidden flicker
#

thats just to make the package smaller

#

i was working on making it smaller than 100mb

#

got it to like 120mb, but im so tired

#

im not doing it lol

#

its done for me

steep needle
#

i see 🙂

hidden flicker
#

you can look in your project folder/saved/cooked and see what goes into your packages (after you package a game)

#

see what folders are the biggest offenders

steep needle
#

that's a good tip, thanks

tardy quartz
#

My gosh we are gonna be cutting it close

#

Still haven't uploaded

#

There's still so much I wanna do to the game

#

Just don't have time

#

gotta go fast

#

lol

knotty frost
#

how much time remains?

loud basalt
#

Does anyone know the times/dates of events surrounding the jam

#

Following the deadline

#

Esp. streams and results

#

@knotty frost The countdown on the page tells you, the time appears to be local too 🙂 https://itch.io/jam/2019-epic-megajam

itch.io

A game jam from 2019-11-14 to 2019-12-12 hosted by Unreal Engine. We're excited to announce the 2019 Epic MegaJam! THEME THE RULES Work alone or with a team (up to 5 members total) to make the most incredible proje

tulip viper
#

them credits screens the most imprtant

radiant acorn
#

Ive had an issue where perforce files were being checked in as the wrong format and now all the source code is garbled utf 😿 trying to roll back and recompile

eager elk
#

Hrm, almost time now! Bit confused as per the instructions. Where do you guys add the list of premade assets and the link to the gameplay footage? Just in the description on the Itch.io-page for the game or?

tulip viper
knotty frost
#

@eager elk just mention in the descrption box

#

@tulip viper Nice work man

eager elk
#

Alright thanks! 🙂

tulip viper
#

@knotty frost thanks

rugged plaza
#

206 entries

wintry beacon
#

btw if u submit can u edit ur itch.io page. things like description game name etc after the deadline?

rugged plaza
#

3:48 left. Get em done

#

I could never get a clear answer on that

#

I'm not risking it this time. I plan to further develop so I'm gonna make a LitterboxLanderDev page separately

#

I think I can squeeze 50 levels in my crappy game and still be under 100mb lol

dreamy jewel
#

Should i add MIXAMO animations to the list of assets that were created before jam?

rugged plaza
#

If u used them yeah

knotty frost
#

yes @dreamy jewel

rugged plaza
#

I put everything even the sphere reflection capture lol

dreamy jewel
#

thx)

#

one more question. what time dose it take to upload a game to itch? 700mb for example

glass fossil
#

It was a really fun time!

small fern
#

211

minor hemlock
#

puts pencil down ok we're done

quick heart
#

hell no 🙂 creating from scratch within 4 days is impossible 😂

#

but i got a good idea and half of the game done

sour pond
#

Anybody know if we’re allowed to update our projects after the deadline is over? Very excited I just now submitted my first ever game jam entry but of course I’m noticing the little mistakes only when I have too little time to fix them before midnight. If I come back tomorrow and update the Itchio project is that allowed?

small fern
#

only the build submitted by the deadline will be judged

minor hemlock
#

I think your project page gets locked between the deadline and judging deadline anyways

small fern
#

^

sonic echo
#

just checking are we able to update the submission form if small changes happen before the deadline?

minor hemlock
#

yes I've been updating it all day

small fern
#

if you do it before deadline, it's totally fine

sonic echo
#

I do mean the Form mentioning, number of team members email, etc

small fern
#

why would you need to change that?

sonic echo
#

because the game has an asset or two and where trying to replace them in time, where posting an early build incase something happens

quick heart
#

good luck guys...i changed my mind and will better finish my game and release it 😛 thx to the jam for the idea

sonic echo
#

@quick heart didn't finish the game

tawny valley
#

Excuse me, I need help with something in UE4, I am very new to UE4 so yeah.
The thing I need help is with the modes window, I can't seem to find it.

sonic echo
#

So am I am able to update the document submission form if things happen in the last second, like we removed an asset so no need to mention that in the form

tawny valley
#

Please help me.

quick heart
#

@sonic echo nop. game needs much more time to dive you into it.

#

impossible to create some cheap 5 minute game with my theme😛

sour pond
#

@tawny valley Messaged you

quick heart
#

i'm just curious who will win this

#

@civic dock how is going ? 😛

sonic echo
#

I need to know if I can update the submission form if needed

civic dock
#

@quick heart Cutting it close. 😅

#

Working right down to the last hour.

quick heart
#

i see 🙂 GL

civic dock
#

Thanks!

quick heart
#

i'm going sleep i guess...damn so many people using premade assets...i thought its a big NO and were creating from scratch

civic dock
#

Premade assets - like Marketplace packs and such - are allowed, they just don't count towards your score.

quick heart
#

yep thats why...

#

anyway didn't have time to finish my game so i will finish it without a jam 🙂

#

really liked the idea

civic dock
#

It's tough to finish on time. As long as you had fun! And I hope you do finish it and share it with us when you're done. 🙂

quick heart
#

@civic dock i vote for you 🙂 california waits you 😛

small fern
#

looking at the entries, theme could have just been space cats :p

civic dock
#

I know right? lol

#

Lots of folks latched on to that modifier.

quick heart
#

i had different theme...

#

totally 😦

#

but too hard to open the theme fully

small fern
#

?

oblique cairn
#

Anyone here with a VR headset willing to give my game a quick try-out?

#

Mostly just to see if it works on other PCs

#

you'll like it if you like "getting over it with bennett foddy" - particularly if you wish it had a rewind time function 😄

gusty marlin
#

Does anyone know if I will have to build from scratch to package (dynamic lighting only) or if my long ass build will be over for good

#

This build has taken nearly 4 hours and do not have time to repeat 👀

#

My plan is in tatters 😭

oblique cairn
#

cooked content should be cached, so repeat builds should be faster - 4 hours sounds really long though

gusty marlin
#

It is soooo long! I added a LOT of trees though and man I regret it

oblique cairn
#

when you say build - do you mean packaging the game?

gusty marlin
#

I haven't tried packaging yet, I'm just afraid it will take similar time

minor hemlock
#

we had a better time coming up with space cat games than down to earth games 😛 ooooh. that has multiple meanings

#

what's taking so long to build if you're dynamic lighting only?

oblique cairn
#

@gusty marlin hang on - if you have dynamic lighting only, the lighting should not need a build?

gusty marlin
#

It isn't lighting it just says, 'collecting the scene'

deep stag
#

is anyone versed with steam?
I am getting SetActiveLevelCollection attempted to use an out of date NetDriver: GameNetDriver when joining a session...
its literally the only thing keeping me from finishing 😦

gusty marlin
#

I'm guessing the trees?

#

It used to take like 2 seconds

#

First procedural foliage took hours now this

oblique cairn
#

@gusty marlin no idea what's up there - when dynamic only I never even press build after disabling precomputed lighting...

minor hemlock
#

yeah, disable precomputed lighting in world settings if you haven't already

#

so nothing can sneak into static accidentally

gusty marlin
#

I have already yeah

oblique cairn
gusty marlin
#

Is definitely not building lighting

#

It's a max sized open world landscape though

#

With a LOT of trees

#

The trees I had already didn't cause this though

#

Maybe the clouds?

#

I upped the resolution

sonic echo
#

so submitted my game and was instantly sent to the Create a New Project page

minor hemlock
#

@sonic echo click the red box

oblique cairn
#

the submit button without any text?

deep stag
#

seen both, @oblique cairn thank you, have already enabled that option

oblique cairn
#

Seemed weird, I did an inspect element to make sure it really was the submit button

minor hemlock
#

@tranquil matrix in this jam/future jams are the judging crew going to automatically remove/ignore the prereqs installer for the sake of tiny award?

#

it's so big that it turns the challenge of fitting stuff into a tiny space to finding (and remembering) the right thing to delete notlikethis

#

almost submitted a 110mb build by accident lul

oblique cairn
#

@minor hemlock there is also an option to disable it in project settings

minor hemlock
#

yeah but it still feels like a huge gotcha

oblique cairn
#

I guess it would be nice for judge to run a script to remove preqs and auto-qualify for tiny awards....

#

but if we are making requests I'd like to have judging scores published so we know what areas to improve on 😄

flat pecan
#

finaly 😄

minor hemlock
#

@oblique cairn or a community award

#

with a public judging period

#

(not that the main judging has to be public)

oblique cairn
#

@minor hemlock @tranquil matrix community voted award would be great too!

gusty marlin
#

It would be nice to have a noob award 😂

minor hemlock
#

how do you prevent that from being smurfed 😅

gusty marlin
#

Smurfed?

#

WHAT my build is saying it is exporting lighting data now

#

-_-

minor hemlock
#

in gaming when highly experienced players create new accounts so they get to whack on noobs at the bottom of the matchmaking ladder again

gusty marlin
#

Oh yeah... idk lol

oblique cairn
#

smurfed == fake voters

minor hemlock
#

fun note: our entry is smaller than any of the previous Tiny Award winners 👀

gusty marlin
#

Yesssss luckily that lighting is over fast

oblique cairn
#

to prevent smurfing - perhaps only accepted entrants have their vote counted - or no/minimal prize to reduce motivation

minor hemlock
#

no that's sock puppeting isn't it?

#

smurfing would be like a group of industry folk coming in to sweep the noob award

oblique cairn
#

yes, you are right

compact cedar
gusty marlin
#

It would be nice to have a chance to win something small

oblique cairn
#

yeah, larger winning pool, with minor prizes like marketplace assets would be nice too - perhaps just more "modifiers/mutators" - or several winners of each

sand edge
#

@compact cedar nice work!

chilly venture
#

I tried doing a humanoid cat in space suit model and I screwed up so bad. I realized using a polygon reduction tool was a mistake.

#

I usually program.

compact cedar
#

@chilly venture ahaahh...yeah, only use it for lods...and very carefully

deep stag
#

are there alternatives to steam for onlinesubsystem that can be implemented relatively quickly?

hexed dagger
#

Are we supposed to list assets from the epic store that are in our project even though we didnt use them in the build?

eager elk
#

That seems a bit far fetched in my opinion, so I doubt it. Then again I only skimmed over the official rules "^^

obsidian smelt
#

I'm unfortunately submitting a little close to the deadline. Please don't crash, itch!

carmine kindle
#

There's a whole 2 hours left, loads of time kappaross

minor hemlock
#

When does @gaunt copper start streaming 👀

wintry beacon
#

man its almost 7 a.m and im exhausted...so close to finishing this

#

i dont want to jam for another 2-3 months

#

😰

copper carbon
#

Good thing we don't have another jam for a few months 😉

#

You got this!

wintry beacon
#

haha we're trying! 😂

hearty ferry
#

Almost finished with my 8-hour minijam project, fits the down-to-earth theme and already looks better than I'd thought it would

quick heart
#

how often the jam happens?

#

I thought it once a year

carmine kindle
#

4 times a year, but only one of them is a "megajam"

quick heart
#

I see :(

maiden dust
#

once you do a game jam, what's the easiest way to do revenue splitting?
assuming anyone wanted the game..

minor hemlock
#

There is no easy way but also don't charge for it

maiden dust
#

gotcha, so pretty much like hackathons
if I built a service that did that, do you think it would be useful?

#

i haven't built anything. not advertising or anything

minor hemlock
#

I wouldnt pay for jam games tbh

maiden dust
#

yeah i could see that

minor hemlock
#

Only games that started in a jam and were polished up, by which point I'd expect the teams to have already sorted out any revenue sharing

wet rivet
#

So when you package as shipping, the steam testing subsystem stops working

#

Good to know

minor hemlock
#

:o

wet rivet
#

Looks like we're packaging as development :finger_guns:

minor hemlock
#

Maybe this is part of your game

quick heart
#

@minor hemlock wait for the game then 😛

minor hemlock
#

Getting your multiplayer expectations down to earth

loud basalt
#

No one's gonna pay for a jam game lol, you're being silly if you even allow donations

quick heart
#

I saw 1 paid game on jam 😂

minor hemlock
#

Donations are especially annoying because it's an extra screen before your download 🤣

loud basalt
#

Yep

#

It's hard enough to get people to play Jam games for free

carmine kindle
#

It's turned on by default though, so people might not notice to change that

wet rivet
#

263 submissions 2 hours before, my guess is 724 when it's over

quick heart
#

if game is cool you can build up something after jam

carmine kindle
#

I'll say 372

loud basalt
#

I'll say ~1000

gritty beacon
quick heart
#

I'll sleep

loud basalt
#

Hahaha that's dangerous

minor hemlock
#

I say 400

loud basalt
#

So does anyone know when the relevant streams and results happen

gritty beacon
#

like a month later

loud basalt
#

Hmm

minor hemlock
#

Crunch time for judges

loud basalt
#

@gaunt copper when will you do your stream

minor hemlock
#

I want to know how it goes down

gaunt copper
#

@minor hemlock tommorow, i need to rest for a bit

minor hemlock
#

Is it tournament style

quick heart
#

wait

#

1 more month for result?

#

😁

gritty beacon
#

takes a while to judge 100s of games

carmine kindle
#

They need time to play all those darn games. There's loads of em.

quick heart
#

let's give them 7 days...like they did 😛

minor hemlock
#

@gritty beacon tbf I bet half can be weeded pretty quickly

quick heart
#

so many sh***..shiny games 😁

minor hemlock
#

But deciding between the top 20 has to be hellish 😂

gritty beacon
#

let's say you have 500 results, half a garbage, you play the remaining half for 30 minutes each, that's still 3 weeks of working hours

#

I guess they don't take 30 minutes for each game

minor hemlock
#

Maybe they make QA Dept judge 👀

quick heart
#

what was the shorter game?

#

I could provide a demo for this jam but it's short and I dont like it for now...still want quality, so I'm curious

wet rivet
#

this is just a submission to get that out the way before the final build

carmine kindle
#

Do you need to be in a specific steam region for it?

wet rivet
#

I don't think so, as long as you're in the same region as who you're playing with

hidden flicker
#

well wish you all luck

#

it was a lot of fun, last few days are tough though

placid lantern
#

our project took a dive today lol not submitting at all what we planned

hidden flicker
#

it happens, usually with more people you overscope

placid lantern
#

did mke this lil gem in the final 10 minutes though lol

#

for the ending screen

#

lol

#

@hidden flicker we would have still been ok but the source took a crap had corrupted files all sorta weird stuff idk feels bad man

minor hemlock
#

1h42 left

tulip viper
#

adding content.... 1hr before... the deadline, I too like to live dangerously

flat pecan
hidden flicker
#

set it to no donations

#

free

loud basalt
#

No payments

#

Is the literal option I believe

knotty frost

@eager elk Sorry u need to fill the details during the submission proccess.

those are the hours i have been sleeping

maiden loom
#

I'm flying tomorrow morning

#

hahahaha

hidden flicker
#

wow

#

you will teleport

maiden loom
#

it's okay though, the game is a meowsterpiece

#

utterly unfurgettable

hidden flicker
#

close your eyes in the plane and wake up in differente location

maiden loom
#

so long as I fall asleep ON the plane, not before, it's all good

gritty beacon
#

wait, shouldn't you be in the plane, not on top

#

that seems dangerous

clear surge
#

I agree with zeb

#

passengers should be in the cabin

breaking news: flight delayed by madman climbing the plane and passing out

Do not approach

knotty frost
#

why is my game showing sumbitted

#

but not showing in the submission section

boreal forum
#

umm, is anyone in the epic jam?

civic dock
#

Well, this channel is busy and there's 276 submissions so far, so I think so! 😄

boreal forum
#

i have some issues with the submition process

#

it asks for file, yet i have folders

minor hemlock
#

Zip it!

civic dock
#

Yep. If you're not using Butler, you need to zip the game before uploading it.

minor hemlock
#

On Windows right click and "add to blahblahblah.zip"

boreal forum
#

oh, i think i saw no ziping somewhere

#

was that not true?

minor hemlock
#

Absolutely not true, look at other entries

boreal forum
#

okies

#

thanks

tardy quartz
#

I need help

carmine kindle
#

Maybe people were discussing that for the small game category, the not-zipped version has to be under 100mb. You can still zip it, but you cant make a larger game fit into the category just by zipping it.

tardy quartz
#

The butler tool keeps telling me that my game is invalid

minor hemlock
#

Zip it!

tardy quartz
#

I've tried using the UI version and command line version

it is zipped

gusty marlin
#

Yikes am still making stuff last second aaaah

minor hemlock
#

Then just upload it directly? Is it over 1 gig

tardy quartz
#

It's about 3.5 gigs

gusty marlin
#

😵

carmine kindle
#

3.5 gigs zipped?

minor hemlock
#

I think Butler might operate on unzipped folders but I can't say for certain then

tardy quartz
#

1.43 while zipped

civic dock
#

Yes it can.

#

It also allows for builds up to 30GB.

tardy quartz
#

It keeps giving me error code 400

#

invalid game

civic dock
#

Did you request an upgrade to 2GB uploads? If not, it will reject files over 1GB.

gusty marlin
#

That sounds terrifying good luck

tardy quartz
#

I did not. I will try that

gusty marlin
#

How do we request that

#

We will probably be over as well

minor hemlock
#

You can turn on chunked Pak files in packaging as well, not sure if you can specify sizes for them though?

civic dock
#

You contact itch staff. There's a link to do so right under the upload form where it says you can do this.

gusty marlin
#

Ok

civic dock
#

Probably too late right now since the deadline is in about 1.5 hours, but yeah. 🙂

gusty marlin
#

Yeah o.o uhhh

civic dock
#

Look at the bottom of the image. 👆

copper carbon
#

Even with Butler you have to request it ahead of time?

gusty marlin
#

I feel like that is really important info we should get at start

knotty frost
#

why my game is not showing in the submission feed?

civic dock
#

@copper carbon No, with Butler you can upload up to 30GB builds regardless.

#

@knotty frost Make sure your game is set to Public.

copper carbon
#

Oh okay. Whew.

tardy quartz
#

Oh noooooo

knotty frost
#

@civic dock i did it

civic dock
#

And it's still not showing?

minor hemlock
#

Next jam after people have had time to get comfortable with quixel I bet there's gonna be some 31gig games :P

civic dock
#

lol maybe!

minor hemlock
#

@knotty frost can you link us your game?

gusty marlin
#

Hahaha

knotty frost
#

Yes

#

Please

civic dock
#

You did that? 👆

knotty frost
tardy quartz
#

Man I worked so hard on this game

minor hemlock
#

It says you submitted it to ludum dare.....

civic dock
#

Yeah I see that too.

tardy quartz
#

It's gonna suck if we missed it because of this

civic dock
#

@tardy quartz Do you know how to use command line tools?

tardy quartz
#

Yes I do

minor hemlock
#

@knotty frost did you click the red button with no text at the end of the submission form?

civic dock
#

It allows 30GB uploads.

knotty frost
#

@minor hemlock from the ue4 epic megajam main page

tardy quartz
#

I tried that though. It told me the same thing

minor hemlock
#

Yes

knotty frost
#

shoud i do another submission?

minor hemlock
#

Yes, yours didn't go through apparently

#

@tardy quartz have you tried pushing the folder with Butler and not the zip file

tardy quartz
#

You mean uploading the unzipped game?

minor hemlock
#

Yes

#

Zip it for web upload, folder for butler

civic dock
#

Yeah. Butler lets you push the directory unzipped.

tardy quartz
#

No I haven't. i thought that was against the rules

minor hemlock
#

Omg

#

Who's poisoning the watering hole

civic dock
#

No, it's not against the rules and it's in the Butler instructions. 🙂

#

I don't know. Someone must be spreading misinformation.

gritty beacon
#

unzipped != unpackaged

minor hemlock
#

And don't confuse packaging with Zip Project 🤣

knotty frost
minor hemlock
#

That looks correct

civic dock
#

Why is it tagged as a Ludum Dare 45 submission?

minor hemlock
#

@civic dock the edit game page suggests that

knotty frost
#

What should i do now?

#

fast

minor hemlock
#

Fill it out!

tardy quartz
#

Oh shoot, it's uploading

minor hemlock
#

Click the red button that doesn't say Upload New Project

tardy quartz
#

Holy crap all of that because of a freaking space

civic dock
#

Yeah the Submit button isn't rendering correctly.

minor hemlock
#

Oh yeah spaces on command line are bad. Avoid at all costs

civic dock
#

@tardy quartz Oh man, it was a typo all along??

still osprey
#

can I edit game page after submission time ends?

tardy quartz
#

Yes. My teammate didn't know that when he made the name

#

ugh

civic dock
#

It happens. 😄

minor hemlock
#

I want to see the number hit 400, go go go

tardy quartz
#

Alright I'ma shut off discord to get more internet speeds

#

Wish me luck!

gritty beacon
#

only 400? br_thinking

copper carbon
#

good luck!

minor hemlock
#

An hour left to get 100 more entries .. 😜

copper carbon
#

It's already a record jam

loud basalt
#

I'm sure plenty will be cutting it close

civic dock
#

Yep. I expect to see that number skyrocket in the next hour.

loud basalt
#

Definitely living on the edge submitting so close to deadline lol

minor hemlock
oblique cairn
#

I much prefer to get a build and submission done early, then use butler for incremental updates

minor hemlock

👀

#

I DID IT! ITS DONE. ITS OVER. IM FREE

#

Iiiiiiii! I'm still fixing some bugs..... jesus man...

minor hemlock

@maiden loom I spy your submission

#

Hopefully last package now..

minor hemlock
#

Your gameplay footage link is broken though lol

eager elk
#

It's 5 AM here haha

true thorn
#

huh..

loud basalt
#

I didn't use Butler because going for <100

boreal forum
#

you only need to upload it to itch.io then its done?

minor hemlock
#

It's unzipped size so Butler or not doesn't matter

#

No! Go to the megajam page and submit there too

copper carbon
#

^^^

loud basalt
#

I heard Butler takes more space or something

#

Didn't really check

civic dock
#

Butler lets you upload larger games.

#

It doesn't change the size of your game at all.

#

It's just a tool for uploading builds. 🙂

minor hemlock
#

You don't have to use all 30 gigs but if you want to annoy the jam streamers you're sure able to!

knotty frost
#

my hands are shaking

loud basalt
#

After several iterations leaving old stuff behind or something

wintry beacon
#

@eager elk damn keep pushing! almost there! its 8 a.m here xD

civic dock
#

Who has that screenshot of the record time submission from the last jam? Still gives me instant panic. lol

loud basalt
#

Maybe I heard wrong

minor hemlock
#

Aw I should stream tomorrow, looking forward to several games already

#

Zeblote was the last to wield it

maiden loom
#

@minor hemlock 😄

eager elk
#

@knotty frost I know the feeling haha

maiden loom
#

we absolutely fucking nailed under 100Mb

marsh sail
#

heh

maiden loom
#

final game came to under 50Mb

marsh sail
#

o_0

minor hemlock
#

Niiiice!

true thorn
#

0_o

minor hemlock
#

We were about there until last minute additions ballooned us

civic dock
#

@maiden loom JESUS that's amazing. Congrats.

maiden loom
feral wind
#

quick! set all the lighting to static!

marsh sail
#

@civic dock we used default materials

minor hemlock
#

Still <100 though and that's what matters :D

marsh sail
#

😄

loud basalt
#

@maiden loom did you compress exe

maiden loom
#

@loud basalt - yes

civic dock
#

@marsh sail You don't mean the default world grid material, do you?

minor hemlock
#

No trailer on itch page?

maiden loom
#

there is also an uncompressed version on the page

#

no, no trailer - gonna record it monday when there are people in the office

marsh sail
#

yeah, and engine cubes

civic dock
#

You can't use the default material. 😕

maiden loom
#

it's not the default material

#

it is super basic though

civic dock
#

OK then Kaos is just confused, I assume.

maiden loom
#

everything is textured

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

civic dock
#

Just want to make sure everyone's submissions are good! 🙂

marsh sail
#

sarcasm 😄

loud basalt
#

I used vertex colors to keep my size down

maiden loom
#

but yeah, even with an uncompressed binary, the game is still 71Mb

marsh sail
#

but oh well, its 4am here 😄

maiden loom
#

yeah, 5am here and I need to go home 😂

civic dock
#

lol!

gritty beacon
#

packing the exe is just cheating

civic dock
#

Not according to Epic staff.

maiden loom
#

I wasn't going to pack it, but apparently it was allowed

compact cedar
#

That's legit description of controls:
Z - Respawn (If you get stuck or lost. Doesn't reset progress)

maiden loom
#

BUT for the preservation of honour, the game is still only 71MB

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

civic dock
#

😄

gritty beacon
#

then what was the point of cheating notionthonking

broken cedar
#

Just uploading it to itchio already counts for UEJAM?

compact cedar
maiden loom
#

just to see how low it would go

loud basalt
#

It's not cheating if they say it's allowed lol

maiden loom
#

dunno how, we kept adding textures and the packaged game size just didn't go up 😂

minor hemlock
#

@knotty frost I don't see your submission yet 👀

loud basalt
#

They compress quite well

eager elk
#

.. Just kidding. THIS haaaas to be the final packaging.! 🙃 🙃 🙃 🙃

loud basalt
#

Ue4 does a solid job there

minor hemlock
#

@broken cedar no! Go to megajam page and submit there too

maiden loom
#

first package had no UI, and it was about 70MB, then we added about 15MB of UI textures....and it was still 71MB 😂

minor hemlock
#

For the first few days file size was going DOWN as we added assets 🤣

civic dock
#

@broken cedar No, you also need to submit it on the jam page. Fill out the form and submit it there! Don't forget.

minor hemlock
#

Praise the compression

broken cedar
#

@minor hemlock can you send me a UEJAM?

boreal forum
#

ok, finally got it uploaded, the website is a little confusing

itch.io

A game jam from 2019-11-14 to 2019-12-12 hosted by Unreal Engine. We're excited to announce the 2019 Epic MegaJam! THEME THE RULES Work alone or with a team (up to 5 members total) to make the most incredible proje

loud basalt
#

Yeah the default bloom level is over 30mb but compresses small as hell too

#

Kernel not level

civic dock
#

You'll know your game is successfully submitted if it has this badge on the game page:

gritty beacon
#

the bloom asset isn't even used you can just blacklist it

loud basalt
#

My game crashed when I did that

gritty beacon
#

huh that must be new then, it worked fine in 4.22

loud basalt
#

4.23 here

marsh sail
#

everything in our submission was made during the jam, including threaded boids (which i struggled with)

loud basalt
#

I managed to remove roboto font from packaged build but didn't help much

eager elk
#

Quick panicked question: Can I change stuff like the description and screenshots etc after the time is up, or do I need to crunch? 😛

somber hazel
#

aaaw, trying shipped building, stuff is looking different, gotta love it 😄

marsh sail
#

@gritty beacon trust me, you would be laughing at me struggling

broken cedar
#

@minor hemlock THANKS!!!

loud basalt
#

Quite proud of my game this time

#

Last jam I had terrible ux coz of time constraints

minor hemlock
#

If we were truly bigbrains we would have made the games before the jam and submitted on day 1 to avoid the rush

gritty beacon
#

there will be so many games to play tomorrow

loud basalt
#

@minor hemlock that's called cheating and it's been a problem in the past

broken cedar

i have a problem with build

submitted in day 1, and polished

#

im like, right..

minor hemlock
#

Ohhhhhh boy

gritty beacon

read the log it tells you to look at

minor hemlock
#

Look for Errors not Warnings as well

feral wind
#

how do people even get below 100mb?

minor hemlock
#

Using pfists template

knotty frost
#

Done

#

🙂

#

🙂

loud basalt
#

Read the documentation or Google it

minor hemlock
#

Gives you 40 whole mb to work with

feral wind
#

I just built a blank project

knotty frost
#

the red button is not built properly

feral wind
#

and it was 189 mb lmao

minor hemlock
#

Sky texture in a blank project is like 15mb

knotty frost
#

might confuse others

loud basalt
#

And compression disabled by default

civic dock
#

@broken cedar You have 8 errors and 652 warnings. Check what those are for insight on what needs to be fixed.

minor hemlock
#

Grats @knotty frost

knotty frost
#

Uhh the feel

#

🙂

#

now i can rest

gritty beacon
#

getting under 100mb is pretty simple

minor hemlock
#

Now we can go die in peace

civic dock
#

@feral wind There are several settings you can tweak to get it down below 100MB.

#

Of course your headroom will vary, but is likely to be very limited.

compact cedar
#

How many are there?

ivory urchin
feral wind
#

thats pretty cool! 😄

civic dock
#

@compact cedar Total or under 100MB?

gritty beacon
#
  • disable all useless plugins
  • package for win32
  • use the list of maps to package
  • disable prereq installer
  • enable pak compression
minor hemlock
#

Building 32 vs 64 is what kept us under the limit near the end too

civic dock
#

Yep, building for 32-bit Shipping is a big win.

#

Especially coupled with compressed cooked packages.

broken cedar
#

Okey i will try this

#

thanks everyone!!

minor hemlock

327!

Told you. That number is flying higher than a 737.

@flat pecan Have you tried with Butler yet or have you not installed it?

compact cedar

@civic dock more like under 1000 =)))

flat pecan

i donwnloaded it but nothing happens when i run it

You have to use the command prompt

ye like i said looks too hard

civic dock

Don't worry! You can do it. We'll guide you. 😄

Are you on Windows 10?

flat pecan

yes

minor hemlock

There are a lot of instructions but only the first couple of pages apply to what we're doing

low jetty
#

guys little help here. i have added a video in between the gameplay, its not playing in the package

compact cedar
#

@civic dock but honestly, i've spent a lot of time optimizing stuff...removing textures etc

low jetty
#

any idea?

minor hemlock
#

@low jetty is it packaged?

low jetty
#

yes but the audio is playing whereas video is just white blank

minor hemlock
#

There's a list in packaging where you can call out videos to package explicitly

knotty frost
low jetty
#

can you mention it it ll be helpful

minor hemlock
#

I'd have to look it up myself. Just poke around in the dropdowns in Packaging Settings for it

Can we pin that for the next hour the submission button pic?

@wind cobalt main megajam page!

  • Open the start menu, type "environment" and you should get an option to "Edit the system environment variables."
  • You should be on the Advanced tab when it opens. Click on Environment Variables at the bottom.
  • In the "User variables for <your name>" box, select Path then click Edit below that.
  • You'll see a list of file paths here. On the right, click New, then copy/paste the path to your butler.exe to add it.
  • Once you do this, you should be able to summon butler from any folder, including your game directory.

@minor hemlock nature of polishing at the very end, this happens to me everytime in my projects

gaunt copper
#

:p

#

gonnab e fun

maiden loom
#

Never leave the submission to the last minute!

gaunt copper
#

i will see how it goes

wet rivet
#

One of the neat parts about jams is learning new stuff, anyone explore an area they're unfamiliar with?

gusty marlin
#

We didn't - unexpected huge freeze out of nowhere

wet rivet
#

For me I stepped into multiplayer and it was my first released multiplayer game - never doing that again

maiden loom
#

We planned for a 10pm upload

#

I am now walking home at 6am

hearty ferry
#

Wait I uploaded my project, went to the jam page, and hit submit but it just redirected me to create a new game upload. Did that, but not sure if it ended up actually submitting or not? wtf itch

gusty marlin
#

We planned to upload 12 hr ago lol

carmine kindle
#

I did some custom networking, soo much funkappa

oblique cairn
#

I learned a bit more blender, found the haptic feedback for VR motion controllers and some other little things

civic dock
#

@copper carbon Your gif showed up right when Jess was blasting some happy hardcore music. 😂

sonic echo
#

well luckily my team got a more finish build uploaded in time, we'll be adding Screenshots and Video to the game page later

hearty ferry
#

Anyways fun jam to do in 8 hours, definitely enjoyed it despite uplaoding at 6am

maiden loom
#

You really have to allow time for things to go wrong

limber bear
#

Itch.Io bugged, we submitted but it doenst show it as an entry

#

what do now 😦

#

Email Amanda?

civic dock
#

Oh no! You missed the broken submit button didn't you? 😦

limber bear
#

ye

maiden loom
#

I nearly missed that :/

civic dock
#

This really hurt a lot of folks.

gusty marlin
#

Aaaaand now it finishes

loud basalt
#

It was very confusing for me too

rotund quartz
#

i went through it about three times before i clocked on

gusty marlin
#

(cries)

loud basalt
#

However, it always goes back to the #1 jam rule, upload early and expect things to go wrong

limber bear
knotty frost
#

@civic dock there should be bonus time for that button, many can easily miss

oblique cairn
#

I assumed the broken submit button was an issue with my browser/extensions - shoulda said something aboutit

maiden loom
#

My flight is in 5-6 hours :'(

sonic echo
#

@gusty marlin sorry to hear that

civic dock
#

@copper carbon Any way we can poke itch.io staff about this bug and allow entries that were uploaded on time? Not sure it's feasible, but I feel bad for the folks who missed out because of a broken button that was out of your control.

#

I had folks up in Portland who nearly missed out because of that button.

#

And many folks in this channel seem to have experienced the same issue. 😦

hearty ferry
#

I hit submit, got redirected to an upload page, uploaded there, but now it's not showing in the submitted entries... how's this work exactly?

maiden loom
#

It took me a good couple of minutes to work out it was the button

loud basalt
#

You have to upload to itch THEN submit it to the jam

#

Its a bit confusing

carmine kindle
#

The submit button was just a red blob with no text on it

knotty frost
#

many wont knw the button issue!

maiden loom
#

Yeah

#

Purple square of failure

limber bear
#

I remember last year there were a few folks that were allowed to submit because of that

civic dock
#

The confusing bit is the Submit button is broken for some folks, so it looks like Create New Project is the only option at the bottom.

hearty ferry
#

Yeah but I had uploaded it, then went to hit submit, and was forced back to the upload page @loud basalt

sly salmon
#

dont know why we are not showing on the submission list

knotty frost
sly salmon
#

😭 😭 😭

gusty marlin
#

😭

sonic echo
#

Yeah it was a good thing my team submited a ok build just in case a few 3 hrs before the deadline

knotty frost
#

😰

sly salmon
#

@civic dock

sonic echo
#

and someone told us about that dumb button

gusty marlin
#

feeling so down now... man

sly salmon
#

can you add us in plz

copper carbon
#

@civic dock - We'll hit up Itch to see what we can do about that.

radiant acorn
#

😢

sly salmon
#

any method we spent 7 days making this

chilly venture
#

Lesson to be learned: when solo jamming, start with very simple 3D models. I've spent most of the jam on modeling, UV-ing, texturing and rigging a cat model.

sonic echo
#

Man really sorry about what happen with you guys

civic dock
#

@copper carbon Thank you! ❤️

sly salmon
#

@copper carbon

boreal umbra
#

lol fantastic itch.io became unreachable just when I wanted to submit my project

limber bear
#

Should we send emails to you guys with the submissions under this effect, or would itch automatically check them

gusty marlin
#

We have been hard out all week, allnighters arghhhhhhh

#

I hate my computer

oblique cairn
#

Shadowrivers stream will be great with the multiplayer mayhem

copper carbon
#

I don't know that Itch will check that.

loud basalt
#

⭐ 453 entries! ⭐

tardy quartz
#

@gusty marlin I feel ya

gusty marlin
#

Is there any way to tag late entries as an entry even if you just missed the deadline - not to compete but just to have it there

gaunt copper
#

Ok so i invite for my stream tommorow, i be starting around 8PM CET, you will be able to score entries with me via so i hope people come ;]

wind cobalt
#
