Hey everyone, not exactly a game jam, but IndieX ( https://indiex.online/ ) is a showcase event for video games and it closes the submission period this Friday, October the 15th, so if anyone has a finished or in progress game to show off, submit it! We have cash prizes in multiple categories, an event inside Steam itself as we have an event partnership with Valve, and a couple of surprises still to be announced 😉

Hey Me and my friends are trying to do a web game jam but we don't have enough people but are afriad to ask around as we might be competing against big pros

[rustic veldt]

game jam's aren't really competitions?

[latent lake]

Some are, depends on who's hosting and if there's prizes involved.

[rough geyser]

hey guys would someone (favorable artistly) work with me for the github gameoff on itch.io its like a gamejam ? :3

[lone lily]

Hello everyone , we’re a team of 2 programmers looking for a 3d artist/modeller to work with on different game jams. Pls dm if interested

[idle coral]

Hello, I'm looking to participate In a jam with a team. I'm an intermediate programmer. Dm me if you have a team set up, and need an additional programmer, or if you would like to start a team.

The jam I'm looking at is this
https://itch.io/jam/one-minute-jam

[rustic veldt]

make a game in 1 minute

no way

[dusty crag]

it's a jam to make a game that has one minute of gameplay, not make a game in one minute

[rustic veldt]

tro

I know

that sounds very neat

How would you make a game that lasts for 1 minute without making a timer?

[dusty crag]

lots of ways, one way i could think of is to make a 2d sidecrolling platformer that moves the level with a length that would make it last a minute (think like the mario levels that automatically move)

[rustic veldt]

I suppose

There are so many possibilities

microgames

bomb defusal game

1 minute escape room where the solution has to be identified by failing the game multiple times?

[idle coral]

Yeah, it really seems like there's a lot of fun ideas you can work with in this jam

Hello everyone. I'm a c# developer who can also do semi-advanced animations. Know more about 3d games than 2d. Never done game jams before. Looking for a team to join. I have been coding in c# for 3 years and in general for 5.

[unkempt spire]

For those that have had fun and successful Game Jams in the past, what sort of Voting Criteria have you gone with, that both your developers/submitters and the voters/non-submitters have all been happy with?

This seems to be an area of contention in our previous Jams.
This is what we are looking at right now.

Hello Gamedev people,

My name is Freddy, 24 from Germany! Currently I feel like playing games again after my work as a virtual engineer in the evening. Studied game development and artificial intelligence at university and have also made some games and prototypes.

A few of them made it here on Itch: https://freddynewton.itch.io

I would love to participate in a gamejam again with someone or produce small games together in my free time. I am mainly a Unity developer and also use the game engine at work.

It would be best to work with a 3D artist or 2D pixelartist and produce wholesome games or other games together. If a sound designer or similar people would join, that would make me very happy.

I hope this post is ok here and if someone wants to get in contact with me feel free to write me on Discord: Freddy Newton#2275

[hazy jewel]

hey, so I'm doing a metroidvania game jame... and I have movement, combat, and systems for enemies all made, but I realized... I have no idea how to make a short metroidvania, never even thought about it

metroidvanias are by nature long games, I feel

[somber orchid]

yeah, they are

hard to make

[hazy jewel]

yea, the only thing I can think of is to just make a sort of vertical slice of an imagined longer game

or just, a series of rooms with puzzles to show off the various game mechanics

the latter requires alot less polish

[somber orchid]

No, that would not be that fun

I have several ideas/tips if you want them

I really recommend using images to make levels as that would take a lot and I mean a lot less time than handcrafting @hazy jewel

If you want I'll link you to a video

[hazy jewel]

I had that in mind for my full game

I already have a workflow for photoshop to unity

[somber orchid]

Also how much time do you have left?

[hazy jewel]

6 days

[somber orchid]

Ok

then don't try super metroid, try to make metroid

[hazy jewel]

https://gfycat.com/SlipperyGargantuanBrontosaurus

[somber orchid]

What are the powerups?

[hazy jewel]

the combat, movement, and a modular enemy system are there already, just need to figure out the map

I think the powerups are going to be magic that can be used via this magic system

[somber orchid]

Ok

[somber orchid]

Also you should you use a tilemap system

[hazy jewel]

I have some spells already made, using assets and some code from a project I was working on before the game jam

[somber orchid]

Nice

You will have to hurry

I'll be back in 10 mins

[hazy jewel]

https://gfycat.com/gracefulorderlycougar

bit of the melee combat
I already ade the hitboxes bigger, but havent update the sprites to reflect it

I have a tilemap too, as you can see in this gif. I can use either system for the map, undecided on what I'd use in the future though

[somber orchid]

Have you played metroid/super metroid?

or hollow knight?

[hazy jewel]

of course, played a ton of metroidvanias

all of the above

[somber orchid]

Nice

So here's the thing try and divide the map in distinct sections

So that it is easier to navigate and helps keep the game fresh

Also how many enemies are you deciding on

[somber orchid]

like how magmor caverns are completely different from phandrana drift

Also I will link you to a tutorial by brackeys on how to convert pixel art into stages as I think that would make level design a lot easier

[hazy jewel]

hmm perhaps

I only have 6 days left, and I at least want to have a boss battle

[somber orchid]

I think if you are a bit creative with that it can save you a ton of time

[hazy jewel]

so I think its going to be more like a demo, or just what would be the first area of a game

[somber orchid]

What type of game you want?

[hazy jewel]

metroidvania

thats the game jam

[somber orchid]

No, like vibe

of the game

Dark, light, fun etc.

Any story in mind?

[hazy jewel]

mostly light, but like
not to the point of being cutesy
I have a story in mind for a longer game, and might be able to implement a little of that into this, but I dont think I have time to do all the things I'd need to do to make that happen

[somber orchid]

I can like help you with the map and like I think you can make it in 6 days

[hazy jewel]

the short of it is:
A kobold who wants to be an adventurer finds a magic book that gives them a lot of power, but is slowly taking over their mind

[somber orchid]

The Main area is a jungle right?

Or are they just prototypes

[hazy jewel]

no, thats just some asset pack I was using to test parallaxing backgrounds

[somber orchid]

So any main setting in mind

?

[hazy jewel]

yea, kinda starts basic D&D fantasy setting, that will go into a dungeon where most of the game happens

[somber orchid]

So here is the map idea. So you have a dungeon, a castle on top and the forest and if time remains add some caves

I think it does the job of a metroid vania pretty well

[hazy jewel]

hmm, yea
that could work

[somber orchid]

So, do this (if you want), add 3 unique enemies for each section and then change the color pallet of those enemies to create another set of 3 enemies that create 6 enemies for each section

Now you can interchange these enemies in certain sections to make the game a bit more diverse

That gives you 12 enemies and 1 boss to make

And for the player it is 24 enemies and 1 boss

Pretty good number of enemies

I think

What do you think @hazy jewel

?

[hazy jewel]

I think thats a bit out of scope for 6 days

I dont want different enemies to just look different and follow the same pattern

I'm doing unique animations and attacks for every enemy

thats alot of pixel art, animation, ideas, and coding

[somber orchid]

Then how many enemies do you think?

Also how are you creating locks in this scenario

?

[hazy jewel]

spells are the 'boss keys'

so like, you find something that teaches you fireball, and then you can use that to open a door elsewhere

[somber orchid]

And how many enemies?

[hazy jewel]

or learn lightning, that lets you intereact with some puzzles

dunno, for the game jam probably just 2-3

its going to be really short at this point, but thats ok for a game jam

its really just the concept of a game that I'm going for with this

[somber orchid]

Yeah you are right

Also like plan it out in a hour or two

You will need a plan

[hazy jewel]

I may even just have only the slime enemy, different colors (maybe unique attacks per color) because I have an elemental weakness system in the game

can make enemies super resistant to some damage types and really weak to others

[somber orchid]

Listen I have some enemy ideas

And also if you are thinking why I am talking about enemies a lot

Its because I gave played quite a few game jam metroidvanias and without proper enemies, they feel a bit like walking simulator and the same enemy feels a bit unpolished

I understand that time limit but metroidvanias need a feeling of empowerment when you get a new ability

[hazy jewel]

yea, I can understand that
I havent played many game jam games, so I dunno what common pitfalls of them are, but I have a pretty robust system built for the enemies

[somber orchid]

I play a lot of game jam games

And also take part in a lot of game jams

[hazy jewel]

I can plug in animations and then I just need to plug in damage numbers, make the colliders for hitboxes, and and basically fill out a form I made with lots of stats for the enemies

[somber orchid]

Here's an idea which will save you a ton of time and is probably going to make the game feel robust

Make some generic enemies, like the slime(already there), a bat that can fly using the A* pathfinding, and a skeleton enemy which can throw bones

I believe that there is a person called vimlark who has created an asset pack containing animation for skeleton and zombie etc enemies, which you can edit to create enemies for your game

Then your three enemies can have slight very small variants who have different weaknesses

And for powerups I was thinking of 3 or 4, what do you think?

[somber orchid]

Ori?

[hazy jewel]

was busy for a bit

but I mean, its not like I dont have my own ideas
I have plenty, just not things I can implement in 6 days

I've got most of what I want to do in this game jam in mind, the part I'm struggling with is getting the map made

[somber orchid]

Ok, so the map 🧐

Like what kind of help?

Is there a programmer out there who wishes to spend a little hobby time building a game-jam type of game with me?

I can program, animate, etc and build a game by myself... but that's boring... I am looking for a collab partner for fun new experiences and maybe learn something new.

[somber orchid]

Which one?

Which jam?

Hey, anyone doing a game jam but completely relaxed even though there are only 3 days cause you do too many game jams?

[coarse bridge]

Good Afternoon - I am looking to expand my team with interested game developers, 2D Artists, 3D artists, programmers, world builders, as well as community coordinators. This is not a position or a job offer, I am looking to build a team. I have many years of experience in all of these areas, and my partner is a professional programmer. These interested team members will be called upon to participate in game jam sessions, and it is not a requirement or an agreement that you participate. Contacting me about this means only that you are interested in the opportunity to participate in these sessions, and details concerning them or any potential future rewards for association or work will be given to you before their development for your consideration. These sessions aim to produce a fun, and eventually commercially viable game. I look forward to hearing from you - simply message me your position, or a position you would like if it is not listed and please include any examples you may have that can demonstrate your level of skill in your chosen area, for areas outside programming and game development simply tell me about why you'd be a good candidate for that position. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

[dense nova]

Hey everyone! Penn Game Studios is hosting a Global Game Jam site (virtually) for the 2022 Jam starting Friday, January 28, 2022!

We're welcoming all levels of game developers to come together for the 48-hour game jam, hosted by Penn Game Studios!

No game dev/jam experience necessary! Designers, developers, artists, musicians, knitters, gardeners, architects, everyone and anyone is welcome to try their hand at making a game during the GGJ. If you want to make a new game within or using the tools of an existing game you can and should! Not sold on being a full on-dev yet? You can learn many new skills and support your team by contributing ideas, playtesting, and giving moral support.

People will be able to pre-register for the event on GGJ and on Eventbrite to ensure we'll be able to track numbers. For our virtual component, we'll be running a discord server.

Sign up here: https://globalgamejam.org/2022/jam-sites/penn-game-studios-philly

Starts very soon!

Join now - https://itch.io/jam/speed-o-shot

[valid parrot]

Any UI and 3D artist who wanna build simple game apps, I hava a game now who need some improvement.

[coarse heron]

Is "Game Jamming" something people gather to do at specific Game Jam events or are there also unofficial Game Jam sessions here in this Discord server occasionally?

I'm very new to all of this

Also if there's any advice for finding a local game dev community in my area that would be great

[frank abyss]

This discord doesn't really run any. I've only done in-person ones, Global Game Jam being one of the most popular. There's a pinned message with some links and a description in it that helps find online ones. There's a bunch of more popular online jams like 7DFPS, I'm not really sure how you distinguish them though, perhaps just by picking them up by following the right people on twitter 😄

[coarse heron]

Thanks!

When would you say someone is "ready" or has enough experience for participating in a Game Jam?

I've only been learning Unity for about a week or two now but I have a lot of programming experience

[frank abyss]

Depends on the jam, I think some are all about getting together to learn, others are more straight to the point

[coarse heron]

Only other question I have is whether they place you into teams or if you enter with your own. Or if there's multiple categories of the competition like "solo" and "team."

[frank abyss]

I haven't done any that are competitions. The ones I've done you can choose to pair up with whoever, or not at all. Some people go and look for people at the venue / meet people online. Some have team size limits. They're varied.

[coarse heron]

Oh, I thought there was some sort of competitive aspect to it. I suppose I need to find the main page(s) with info about them still.

I'm not sure where the "official" info page is about them

[frank abyss]

There is none. They are not centrally organised

[coarse heron]

By the way, I found an official Unity page for info on Game Jams.

It's this:

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/explore-game-jams?pathwayId=5f7bcab4edbc2a0023e9c38f&missionId=5f77d140edbc2a00201f41bf

Hopefully that helps anyone who comes here looking for it, assuming it's not already here in this channel.

Could be a useful pin

[coarse heron]

https://itch.io/jam/finally-finish-something-2022

Just joined this one!

For anyone who wants to, it seems very popular and has about 500 entries so far

I'm hosting a game jam next week if anyone here is interested! We generally get over 1000 people in the jams we host, so it'll be a bit of a bigger one.

https://itch.io/jam/gdb-juice-jam

[formal solstice]

Happy new year everyone, wishing you a lovely day and the start of an amazing year full of surprises. One of them will be a special announcement for our upcoming game jam for this year NEXUS GAME JAM . Stay tuned for more info and surprises!

[woeful basin]

https://itch.io/jam/igotw-01 The indie game of the week Jam is coming up! 14th to 16th of January

[rigid sierra]

@civic estuary Don't spam the channels.

[civic estuary]

Sorry

[sly spade]

Oh interesting! Might swing by.

[upbeat prism]

Do it! I'm seeing some really awesome stuff so far, even the people who haven't done jams before are making some great stuff

[woeful basin]

Making a post here to brainstorm elements of games (in general) for the Global Game Jam 2022. If you have improvements, suggestions, or want to express your own opinion, feel free!

1. A player controlled element(s) of the game. The player needs to be able to do be able to do something. Maybe its controlled a character in third or first person, shooting guns and chewing bubblegum. Very important and I think should be on of the first things implemented/focused on.
2. Goal(s). The player should be trying to achieve something. Communicating what that is will be key. Being able to "beat" the game is seemingly important. Do you have to navigate your avatar to a set trigger point? Collect all the things? I think this is the second thing that should be implemented/focused on.
3. Adversity. Some resistance to achieving the goal. In puzzle games, its a count down timer. In the games I like its usually an opposing enemy force of hostile AI.
4. Game feel. Sounds. Particle FX. Shaders. Screen shake. Rag doll physics. Make that game POP! This is "polish" level stuff, and I think it should be left to the ending phases, after the above elements are firmly in place.

I think these four elements are the core focused. I'll organize my global game jam tasks according to these four buckets of work.

[somber orchid]

Theme?

@woeful basin

Also when is it happening?

[woeful basin]

@somber orchid No idea, not yet at least. I think the global game jam is going to announce what the theme is in the coming weeks.

I'm just trying to get myself capable.

End of the month. IIRC Jan 20, 2022

for 72 hours?

[somber orchid]

Ok ok ok you just got a competitor

[woeful basin]

🙂

good!

https://globalgamejam.org/ more info here

[somber orchid]

Yeah I checked the site

Thanks and also for me steps should be

1. Player Movement

2. Level manager

3. Enemies

4. levels

5. Menu

6. Sfx and music

And somewhere after Enemies there should be art time

[woeful basin]

4. levels

Levels? Like, plural? You must be a da vinci at this sort of stuff if that your goal, lol.

Nah, I'm goofing. Thanks for sharing your list of priorities!

I did the global game jam (GGJ) last year when I was about a month into learning unity. I'm most excited to see how far I've come in this past year.

[somber orchid]

I am a fan of level based games so my priority is to create levels after the props etc.

[somber orchid]

Yeah they are always fun

[woeful basin]

Respect. If you know that is your direction, its worth building up supporting infrastructure early to make it easy.

[somber orchid]

Yeah but I respect the crunch and the pressure of being on a time limit

But I have used this method in one of the previous game jams and that approach is as fun as this one

[woeful basin]

Ain't that the truth... I'm trying to keep my strategy simple and see where it takes me. I'm still not sure what I want to do. I think I want to be inspired by some games at my local arcade bar

[somber orchid]

Yeah maybe take some inspiration from pokemon

[woeful basin]

You're saying that because my name, aren't you?

Although retelling the Russian Revolution using mudkipz would be kind of fun.

Or something like that.

[somber orchid]

lol

[woeful basin]

^_^

[somber orchid]

I love pokemon too

[woeful basin]

I love soviets

[woeful basin]

🙋‍♂️ 🇩🇪

[grizzled rune]

when is next gamejam

[somber orchid]

Which one are you talking about?

[grizzled rune]

any

[dusty crag]

global game jam is starting later this month, there are also plenty to look for on itch.io

[frank abyss]

There are tens of game jams running constantly, check the pins

[keen hatch]

I joined the black and white game jam and now I'm stressed

[clever dragon]

Then leave jam

[keen hatch]

N o

[stark dock]

you can do it !

[keen hatch]

my scripting skills suck |:

[somber orchid]

"Everything is great and nothing is bad unless it sucks" - a random person

[woeful basin]

Any one know how to code speed to a turn-based RPG as a championship stat value

[copper quiver]

Who participate a GGJam ?
+EU
+US
+AS
+OC

--> me +EU :3

[keen hatch]

The game jam I joined the colors I can use are black and white

That's it

[cloud holly]

Finding the fun juice should be right after figuring out the controls, not last.

Actually, they go together IMO

even if that means you don't have time for adding levels or an endgame.

(meaning you end up with some kind of sandbox game)

(but that's okay IMO, especially for a jam)

[keen hatch]

Join If U Want
https://itch.io/jam/rrraya81-jam-20221

[woeful basin]

I like this input! Thanks for reading my message and providing feedback. I like how you think it should take priority before levels.

Okay, brainstorming game juice ideas. Flashes on hit. Sound FX, particle FX. Big, legible projectiles. Screen shake. Camera lag to emphasize movement (subtle or more obvious). Cinematics to provide the player some sort of context, if one can manage (cinemachine + timeline + audio).

I'm thinking I want to make a halo combat sim for mobile. I want to play with ai. I'm thinking (H)FSM + BT for this upcoming weekend.

[reef jungle]

what are the game jams coming up?

[latent lake]

Global Game Jam is the big one thats in a few days.

Otherwise, you can see some jams being made on itch.io.

[limpid timber]

oh, I should try and do this game jam

[limpid timber]

Where can I sign up?

[latent lake]

https://globalgamejam.org/

[limpid timber]

I see many global game jams, which one is it?

[limpid timber]

can't figure it out. Please help. ><

[latent lake]

They're all the same, hence global. You sign up at a location near you, though being online this year, it's likely not in person (may be different for your location)

[frank abyss]

Are you in Paraguay, the Philippines, Spain, Puerto Rico, Russia, the UK (likely just near cornwall), Tunisia? If not, none of the locations you've screenshotted are relevant to you.

[woeful basin]

I like how you're diving into this global game jam 😉

The process is basically to sign up for a site (some are full virtual, some are full physical location, some are hybrid). There is usually a discord maintained by the site operators so you can hop on and ask more questions there. It's a good time!

[limpid timber]

oh cool 🙂 I don't mind, I prob wont do too well but I'd give it a try.

[worn lantern]

@limpid timber there's no doing "well" / "too well". It's cool to try to do your best in the given time. It was always fun. Filter jam sites by your country, and choose one if there are more. They also might have a discord where you can find teams to join, etc.

link is here:
https://globalgamejam.org/2022/jam-sites

[south mountain]

And if you are participating in Global Game Jam this year I am one of the keynote speakers - I hope you find it inspiring https://youtu.be/jJxo0qGARaM

[lean dove]

If it is in person does it mean that you have to be in person or you can participate online?

it says this on the registration page

[latent lake]

Each site has their own organizer, so may be worth sending an email.

[lean dove]

Thanks a lot

why my post deleted?

[latent lake]

Discord links are removed. Secondly, don't crosspost, you've been told this before.

[flint nacelle]

Hard to decide when both topics 100% relevant to the post.. to which one to post.

[latent lake]

Not sure how what you showed in #archived-works-in-progress is related to a game jam. Anyway, there is the right place.

[woeful basin]

is there someone who want to team up with me? i'm making a medieval adventure RPG game for about 1,5 year. also im 22.

[latent lake]

@tall minnow This has nothing to do with game jams or Unity.

[tall minnow]

ok sorry

where can i ask for it? @latent lake

[latent lake]

Not here? Go find another community for that stuff.

[grizzled rune]

https://itch.io/jam/vr-game-jam

[woeful basin]

i want to participate in this

im pretty new though

and only have experience with 2d game dev

but i read somewhere that there's barely any difference in working with vr

[grizzled rune]

ye very little difference

[faint juniper]

I joined!

[brave jay]

brackeys jam coming round

[nocturne pond]

yep! Wonder what the theme will be

[honest roost]

when does it start?

[nocturne pond]

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7

it starts the 20th february to the 10th march

at 3:00 am

not sure what time zone tho

[reef whale]

Hey,
I'm a programmer/designer looking for a team for Brackeys game jam. Check out this link to see what I've built so far http://www.niknev.com/. I prefer using Unity.
[found team]

[honest roost]

thanks

[jagged horizon]

message me if your down for gamejam. got one with prizes for the best games

[woeful basin]

Hi everybody i'm looking for a 3D artist to team up for Brackeys game jam, feel free to message me

[novel ingot]

good luck:)

[brave jay]

personally im hoping it will be that the game is your friend or next chapter

just not identity crisis

[nocturne pond]

Game is your friend is an interesting concept

it doesn’t really matter for me tho cuz I got my booster and wont be able to participate for 2 days

[brave jay]

The theme is that it is not real

More like paradoxes

[woeful basin]

hi does anybody know what does brackeys theme mean "it is not real"

[latent lake]

You can interpret a game jam theme however you want, they are intentionally vague and open ended usually to give you creative freedoms.

[proper shadow]

Anyone wanna jam lemme know

I'm a programmer not an artist

[dawn sonnet]

If somebody want to team up for brackeys game jam, I'm here. I am a programmer

[vivid viper]

Some ideas I had was stuff like:

• Dreams
• Hallucinations
• Fake walls/floors
• Game just doesn't exist?

[orchid elm]

Hi, are there any game jams where I can win a Unity Hoodie?

[shrewd isle]

I have a ton of game Ideas that aren't out there, I can do the art but suck at programing what i need the system to do... how do i go about finding help that's not going to just run away with my ideas and actually help...

[latent lake]

The only way is to hire someone. And even then, it's not guaranteed. In the end, nobody wants to work for "free", especially if the other person is just an "idea person".

Also, this channel is for game jams.

[shrewd isle]

My point I want to get into the Jams wanting to find out what's all needed?

[latent lake]

Depending on the game jam, there's sometimes communities around t hem to find teammates (like Global Game Jam, or ludum dare).

[shrewd isle]

and I'm far beyond an idea, zbrush, blender, gravity, masterpiece, well any art program I can use all of them

Ok thanks Ill dig some more

[woeful basin]

If you want to get "teammates" you either have to:

• Be AMAZING at art (since you don't code)
• Pay people
  Coding is really important especially since it lightens the load on all members when you can help out

[shrewd isle]

I am good at the arts.... only takes me a week or so to learn a new art program. This is some zbrush works

I mean I am studying the hell out of everything I can find on Unity and vr set ups and VrChat things... and when I finished the one above I rolled him out at 7k poly

This is a cartoon I tryed to make out of unity assets but the cencorships shut me down...

I guess all and all I'm trying to find a crew to be part of... and strat doing this for a living...

Thanks

[woeful basin]

hi

Who wants a Game partner

[latent lake]

Anyone here looking to Jam? I can do art

[brazen hollow]

When do i know i am ready for a game jam

[somber orchid]

You are always ready for a game jam

But I think you should have made at least 3 games before

[woeful basin]

when you're familiar with making multiple games, ideally different types e.g. 1 shooter, 1 platformer, 1 fighting, etc.

[brazen hollow]

Do you have any minigames suggestions for learning purpeses

[faint torrent]

What I did when I was learning was just making games based off themes in game jams that already happened

[inner mesa]

Can anyone test my game which i am making for a game jam

Sure

Anybody wants to join with me in Ludum Dare 50? It starts Sunday and I need an artist (I'm the programmer)

[runic stirrup]

anyone know a community where i can find teammates for jams?

[random imp]

I probably should have looked at this before I started Ludum Dare 50 and gotten some teammates! =)
Though I did enter the competition here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/undying-flames
I'd love to support other creators, so drop your link and I'll give a rating / feedback! =)
I hope everyone who's done Ludum Dare 50 this year has enjoyed themselves!

hey dude wanted to give some small feedback if it can be used at all, it took me 1mn to understand what was going on when i started

you should explain you use wasd to move and what to shoot blabla bla

[latent lake]

https://itch.io/jams

[thick pagoda]

thanks

[hoary ruin]

Did you play the tutorial?

[wide vessel]

@hoary ruin re: lone-bastion

1. Great baseline visuals and sound!
2. You probably don't have enough time to integrate the tutorial into the main gameplay loop, but that would have been more convenient. That way you could reveal each mechanic one at a time in context.
3. I lost, but have no idea why. I seem to have taken down everyone in the red corridor but still got the thump thump thump... game over.
4. Ok so I replayed to try and understand why I lost. I see that the other lanes are initiated after a bit of time. The tutorial mentions this, but doesn't talk about how to switch between lanes. In game it shows 1,2,3 but I had no context when that popped up the first time.
5. This webgl version has the minimap cutoff on the left side, probably one of the reasons I didn't notice.

6.The minimap and position mechanic is confusing for the first couple play throughs. I think that's primarily because of the limited vision. I have no orientation within the space. Maybe reveal the map to start with, then create the fog of war?
7. I like having different weapons, but it's not clear why those are different in each lane. Red lane is too slow, try and ramp that up so it feels more responsive. Blue and green are in a pretty decent place, but rarely hurts to juice things up a bit.
8. It seems the game is trying to push me towards a fast clear in one lane then hop to another, but the tools I'm given, particularly with very limited vision force me into a pretty slow play style.
9. The gates fall so fast I don't see much reason for the shield indicators, when you swap over the weapons aren't really strong enough to clear the attackers off the gate.
10. I appreciate the guaranteed eventual death to infinite space invaders, but I'd like to feel I've accomplished "something". Maybe if I clear a lane it blocks their spawning for 15seconds so I can quickly go clear off the other lanes. Not sure how but the main ask is to make me believe I at least had a chance!

Overall the space shooter genre is pushing me towards wanting faster paced action and a more responsive player character. I think you've got all the elements there, just tweak the numbers to hone in on a more fluid player experience.

Unless there's explicit rules, anything goes.

[limber quest]

hey everyone, I’m trying to round up a team to compete in game jams, it is unpaid and we would do it for experience and practice working in a team setting, and mostly just having a good time and meeting new people.

[woeful basin]

ok

what games

[woeful basin]

wot games

[limber quest]

no idea yet, that’s something we would discuss as a team. but generally probably very short games for now and games that would help us build up our dev/art/sound skills

ok

sounds good

how many members in a team?

[limber quest]

rn we have about 6 people!

I can add you to our group dm if you’re interested

[forest pebble]

Yep! The game is inspired by the virus.

it brings back memories of the ole windows 7 times when i got infected

Q and E? I'll try that!

[gritty rivet]

Anyone doing the gamedevtv game jam on the 20th.

[somber orchid]

I don't think I will have time but I will recommend it to anyone

[gritty rivet]

We are gathering a team. A 10 day jam will be a great way to pickup some new skills from fellow teammates.

[gusty charm]

Ya I'm looking at doing the game jam I know very little but I think I know enough to get by on a game Jam

[gritty rivet]

What all do you do?

[gusty charm]

I've only been learning trying to find my place. I've been mainly focusing on programming. So far level design has been my favorite. I'm currently working on a 2d platformer.

[gritty rivet]

would you like to join in with us

[gusty charm]

I would loved to im still very inexperienced, and wanna learn more.

[rapid walrus]

I heard game jams are a good place to learn

[rigid sierra]

@rapid walrus Check the pins here for jam locations

Jams with established communities are a good way to find a team to work with

[rapid walrus]

I am still learning programming and level design basics, in 6 months or so I maybe participate in one

[gritty rivet]

this is the game jam https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2022. I think you should join coz every participant is getting one free course.

[latent nacelle]

ty i might give it a shot

[woeful basin]

@everyone

I am Renato from myAppFree and I am here to present our current project: Adrenaline Rush!

A BIG GameJam dedicated to Unity3D GameDevs based in Italy

We have:

• Amazing Prizes with a prizepool of over 100k EUR up for grab
• Top-notch partners
• A Webinars'program dedicated to the Jam directly hosted by the Unity3D team!

The theme will be announced on the 16th of May, but registrations are open RIGHT NOW!

For more information and registering visit: https://adrenalinerush.gamejam.it/

Feel free to reach out to me in private or email [e-mail]

[somber orchid]

I am still not going to be able to take part but good luck

[rapid walrus]

Can I participate in your team?
If its not programming, i maybe do something
But im to new to code

[gritty rivet]

My idea was to assign you to one of more experieced members based whatever you chose to learn. But now I am thinking since full details are not out yet let's wait a lil. If the jam asks for shorter teams then it will be hard to part ways after interacting for weeks.

Programing is no sweat but you can start with the basic foundations on unity learn. Try visual scripting with bolt after you have explored the engine and asset creation workflows.

[rapid walrus]

I did a 7 hours unity tutorial already, i know kind of the basics
Is bolt free?

[gritty rivet]

Yes its now included in the editor. Install from the unity registry in the package manager.

[rapid walrus]

I will learn when i can
Maybe in a week i will know more
The jam only starts in 17 days

[tribal trench]

what jam?

[rapid walrus]

Tv

[tribal trench]

link?

[rapid walrus]

.

I am not American, so my playtime is probably different from most of other people
I am in GMT+1

[tribal trench]

can you join even if your not in italy (:

[rapid walrus]

I will maybe focus first on C#

[gritty rivet]

Brackeys youtube is a good place to start then.

[rapid walrus]

I already have seen a tutorial
I have seen free code camp.org 7 hour tutorial, but i think it is not enough to a gamejam

https://youtu.be/gB1F9G0JXOo

[tribal trench]

7 hour...

[gritty rivet]

yeah they are good if you work along with them just like unituy learn has pathways devided

[rapid walrus]

I have seen a lot of GMTK so game design i am more or less
Art(i dont know if i can do this but) i have a friend that might be good at pixel art and i might ask him to do 1 or 2 things

Level design maybe too

[gusty charm]

Ya I learned most of my stuff threw unity learn and I go back to the games I made threw unity learn to check code and use it on games using now

[rapid walrus]

a thing that i didn't understand(i am not have English as my primary language), did you say that if the jam is open to big themes, there is a chance that i can participate on your team?

[woeful basin]

Unfortunately not on this istance of the Jam, but we'll have more in the future without geo restrictions!

[gritty rivet]

Yes I meant that what if we make a team of 10 and then rules state you can't have more than 5. I would feel awful to part way with the other five.

[rapid walrus]

No problem
Thank you very much

[spring widget]

[mighty mist]

@grim shard if you expect involvement to be only 2-3 days then it might be simpler to just ask questions about what you don't get, otherwise it'd probably take 1-2 days for someone else to understand what you wrote on your own

[vernal widget]

Depends on who bites, some people prefer taking the time to learn the context of the project and before working out how to move forward, this may even improve synergy to the original vision. Both approaches work, depends on who is willing to get on board and ultimately, what you are looking for.

[flat pawn]

not trying to call you out, just be careful buddy

@grim shard Definitely does not belong here. This channel is only can be used for seeking collaborators for game jams and other jam related things.

[hollow steeple]

thanks ill check it out

[silver smelt]

Should I do my first game jam on my own or with a group?

[echo urchin]

Depends on you and your preference, everyones different

[silver smelt]

If I was trying to find a group for the jam, how can I find some? (I have no game dev friends lol)

[echo urchin]

A lot of game jams, at least well organised ones, have a dedicated discord or forum which have sections where you can find a team for the jam

[silver smelt]

I see. Thank you!

[rocky elm]

Im looking for someone as well

[silver smelt]

Ah well I'm not currently looking, as I am very busy with school 😅
However, I have 1 year of Unity and Blender experience, and I'm capable of animating, modeling, making graphics, and I mostly focus on programming, so if you'd like to partner in the future I'm down!

[plain plover]

Hi, I need someone to enlighten me to help solve a problem

I'm creating a game for a Game Jam. And in this game you can control 3 characters, you can move one at each time, to move another you need to press a button to change character (This part I already managed on how to do it and it's all done)

The problem that I'm having at the moment is... In the game idea, only character A can push objects in the scenario. Characters B and C cannot push objects!

But I'm not able to think/apply this idea in Unity. I've been researching solutions for at least 2h and so far I haven't figured out what can I do. That's why I'm coming here to get some help..

Any ideas? Thankss

https://media.giphy.com/media/OCH2p25qrw0CWuuMaD/giphy.gif

Small gif showing my problem... Only the red character must move the block. (Note: The green characters get through the block because some coding I was trying without success)

[rocky elm]

they all have rigidbodies?

[plain plover]

Yes. RB and Box Colliders on all 3 characters + block

[slender pike]

What happens if you set the blue character’s mass really low

It might change something in theory, but it also might not change anything. Worth a shot

[plain plover]

Kinda solved it. Now the blue character cannot push the block. But can't push the other characters either.

I was thinking of adding jumping soon to the prototype too.. I imagine having a low mass would mess up the jump too right?

https://media.giphy.com/media/sxNhRnYf0k9CYfhvhL/giphy.gif

[rocky elm]

More gravity >:)))

[plain plover]

I give a few more tries for a few hours..

In the end I just set the gravity to 100. Set an trigger that activates when the red character is close. The trigger changes the gravity to 1... Then when the red character leaves the gravity come back to 100

It solved the problem.. Kinda... It has a 'bug' that when the red character is close to the rock, the other 2 characters can now push it

[mint sorrel]

I have never participated in a game jam but why do you start now that you don't even know what the theme of the Jam could be?

[plain plover]

The game jam is already runing for a few days... It is a 10 days game jam but I only got the time to participate today and at this weekend

https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2022

English is not my native english.. I think I probably said something that implied that the Jam had already started.

[mint sorrel]

sorry i thought it was for GMTK Game Jam 2022

[rapid walrus]

I am searching to join a team for a one week ore more
I could be a game designer/ level designer/ music composer
I know how to programe c# and unity, but i am still learning some stuff

[mint sorrel]

https://itch.io/jam/colorjam

[slender pike]

If you use velocity change as the force mode for AddForce, or use rb.velocity instead of AddForce for the jump, it will ignore mass. I think that gravity relies on gravity scale and doesn’t care about the mass of an object so fall speed shouldn’t be an issue.

[woeful basin]

If you have Unity for 3DS or Switch, you should join this jam!

Hello we are on the 3rd day of this game jam which lasts until July 10th https://itch.io/jam/retrograde-jam-3 The game is a 2D side-scroller space shooter. We have 2 programmers, 2 musicians, a level designer, and 2 pixel artists. I'm a professional web developer of 15 years mostly web dev but have shipped a commercial iOS game 10 years ago. This is my first game jam to try and get back into game dev. I have full-time commitment through the end of the game jam. Our other programmer just graduated from college with a bachelor's in game development. We're looking for another Unity programmer or two to help us out, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned so we can learn and have fun! Artists are also welcome! I've uploaded a small taste of where we're at (the background and SFX are placeholders, we also have powerups and other enemy types not shown here, plus a sketched level design). If you're interested please DM me.

Hope you enjoy it and feedback would be highly appreciated! 😇

Guys im participating in a game jam
the theme is : alter the dimensions and measures to your will
any ideas ?

[solid wraith]

I think the best part of a game jam is ... coming up with the idea. 🙂

Maybe it's tetris but every time you get a line the field gets wider/narrower

[sudden wedge]

reminder that GMTK game jam starts in 24 hours

[hoary plinth]

I want to participate in GMTK

[woeful basin]

In desperate need of a visual artist, especially one with animation experience (preferably in pixel art), for the GMTK Game Jam 2022. Hit me up if you are looking for a small team to join. So far, we have two coders, one game designer (with technical experience in Unity), and one musician. We also have one pixel artist, who has very limited experience making tilesets.

[woeful basin]

todays the big day 🙂

gee ehm tee kay

[main panther]

Won't be participating this year, just started learning. Hopefully next year I can participate. Will be excited to watch however.

[woeful basin]

Collab as motivator/idea - helper/tester/kinda like a mascot.
GMTK game jam is coming, and many of you would be taking part in it. I am actually learning the engine rn.If you guys are forming a team or solo, add me as a GUEST memeber(no credit)
It will be a user POV from my side might be helpful in any regard to pro like you and for me a experience of gamedev.
Please send me group links.
Good luck to all.

[main panther]

This is a great idea.

I would love to be someone's waterboy as well to get some experience.

[solid wraith]

It doesn't appear as if there's any channel for .. talking about streams? but I'm streaming my development on this game jam if anyone wants to tune in. This is my first jam.. I'm pretty pumped. 😄 😄

[sudden wedge]

15 minutes left

[tame kernel]

I would really appreciate feedback on my game demo, it's a game like Katamari Damacy about saving the environment! https://matthew-gigante.itch.io/tumbletrash

[wheat lotus]

https://itch.io/jam/the-bad-jam join the jam

[wheat lotus]

maybe turn the sensitivity down

[wheat lotus]

ok

[solid wraith]

So far so good... proof of concept

[winged latch]

cool idea

[sonic lagoon]

1 day left, need to add enemies and an upgrade system for the player.

[sharp moat]

Oh god

forgot gmtk was happening

[winged latch]

enjoy your sleep

[solid wraith]

Progress

[solid wraith]

https://chrisdanek.itch.io/mice-dice Progress. Probably close-ish to submitting! Could use a light playtest dummy engineer or two

[sonic lagoon]

Oh i saw you on the GMTK server, seems to have evolved quite a bit

[ruby flare]

Looks rly hard to lose. Maybe have a 3 turn timer before all sides of the placed block become unusable or something? Idfk

Ohhh limited rolls

That sounds very rng based

[solid wraith]

it is. 🙂 But... it's turning out to be OK, it seems

I'm streaming (quiet-mode) if you wanna snoop.. for a bit, anyway! I was debating a fog of war thing but.. that might be a lot to bite off at this stage of the game. 🙂 https://www.twitch.tv/chrisdanek

[winged latch]

[neat bison]

[winged latch]

right as I got the enemies working is when I stopped designing

[neat bison]

Oh damn

[winged latch]

[supple kiln]

Hey guys! The server I've been modding is doing the first Playtesting Jam! The main idea is to foster a creative and supportive community that thrives on helping each other test their concepts in a collaborative and positive way.

The whole concept can be found in the Jam description, but feel free to ask anything at the server. The Jam will start in 3 weeks from today, and will have a submission period of 2 weeks.

[topaz niche]

Do you like Tetris? Try this!

https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1618282
It's very tactical. You have to pay attention to the colours, the shapes and the number of dots to survive and score!

[dawn socket]

We made an Endless-Survival, Table-Top-Down Shooter in 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam.

[proper jay]

Hey guys, if y'all are cool playing my game I'd really appreciate it, I submitted this game for the GMTK game jam. Because of the art style and lighting I had to make the game download-only so if you wouldn't like to download a game this isn't for you. Otherwise please feel free to play and review my game! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1618406
