I'm gonna be participating in this game jam. If anyone is interested in teaming up.
if it isn't obvious from my role, i'm a programmer so i'd be looking for artists/musicians/other non-programmers (though i'm not entirely opposed to teaming up with another programmer)

We are having issues restricting our game to 64x64 and the spritres/screen arent very consistent. We've tried pixel perfect camera and a few other things

Is someone available for a screenshare and whatnot?

I've never done a game jam before. Is it generally bad practice to ask outsiders for thoughts and suggestions in regards to something like expanding a concept

[molten ledge]

Depends on the gam, but in general I would say no. Game jams are all about experimenting and having a lot of fun. Sometimes the collaboration is a part of that

So still early on in my learning process but making mini projects like game jams seems a fun way to learn. I doubt I'll compete in any soon but want to find some jams for prompts. where is a good place for regular prompts to challenge myself?

Well I know you said you don't want to compete right now, but there is the Game Off game jam on itch.io rn if you want to check out the prompt. There are a lot of jams on itch.io to check out. You can also use this site https://letsmakeagame.net/game-jam-theme-generator/

Hey im participating in https://itch.io/jam/20-second-game-jam this game jam but im terrible at art, it would be my first game jam and i wanted to ask if someone would like to help me out 😄
i would like to code if you can help maybe add me on discord Ty

[summer moss]

Do we have any 3d modelers here who are willing to contribute to a project as game jam participants? It is the call for the ongoing game jam project for the Game off game jam organized by GitHub. The game prototype has already been completed. We just need modelers for our team. I am working on a doom-style FPS game

[round nacelle]

If youre into making renders, Sloyd is hosting a Render Challenge where you can win one out of 6 $50 gift certificates at Amazon or Steam. Theme is "out of this world" and you have to use at least one model generated by the Sloyd webapp. Check out https://www.sloyd.ai/renderchallenge for more info 🙂

Not a gamejam 100% so let me know if this is not ok 🙂

[woeful basin]

do we earn money from game jams?

in general, not referring to any post above

Hosting a jam with $2500 prize: https://itch.io/jam/new-york-new-york

[solid birch]

Cool premise, highly suspicious prize.

[uneven zodiac]

Why do you find the prize suspicious? We’re a tech company that’s been around since 2016 doing this for publicity, we are not going to stiff someone a prize that’s less than what it costs to run a decent AWS instance for a week and have the whole indie gamedev community hate us forever

[coarse knoll]

Can anyone explain how exactly game jams work? I am a programmer, so I obviously can't create my own sprites, characters, etc. So do people use free assets or something like this?

[latent lake]

You use whatever you can to get it done. Be it your own art, assets, or art from a team member or a combination of all three.

[pseudo junco]

Is this standard practise? as kinda newish to game development and seem to do fine with scripts, UI etc with the few of us working on the project but 3D modelling just isn't the easiest thing to get right or looking 'clean' so to speak and can become a real blocker.

[latent lake]

For a game jam? Yes. You use whatever you can considering you only have a very short amount of time to produce something.

[pseudo junco]

Thanks, yeah I understand the use in a game jam and makes sense tbh. In general though in development if we approached a 3D artist with a public asset made concept to give a feel for what we are doing and for testing, would this shock a possible future team member or is this standard practise to give a idea of what's wanted?

[latent lake]

Well, this isn't game jam related. You of course can provide reference materials to potential artists. They do have to gauge whether or not they're capable of providing what you want, after all.

[pseudo junco]

Apologies, thanks for the info though it's mucho appreciated 👍. Good luck with the jams everyone 🙏

[hybrid crater]

Hey there! I'm looking to join any team including programmers, to compete and learn. I've just started out with Unity. :)

[coarse geode]

Hello! Fledgling programmer here looking to expand his skills and join a team. Can provide a portfolio if needed. 6 mos experience with both Unity Editor and C#.

[latent lake]

@summer moss There's no job postings here. Use the forums for that: #📖┃code-of-conduct

[summer moss]

I am looking for a member for my game jam project. That was not a job posting.

[latent lake]

Asking someone to make you a logo/banner promotional art for your game is not how game jam teams work. You can look elsewhere for that sort of service.

[summer moss]

I understand. But still, my intention was not to hire someone for the services. Our 2D artist has left for some reason so we are looking for another for our team, Just that.

[latent lake]

Then you need to fill in the missing details:

1. What jam are you participating in
2. What do you need specifically for the role to be filled
3. What is the deadline for the jam

etc.

Otherwise, your vague initial question had nothing to do witih game jams, hence it being deleted.

anyone know jams happening this early jan?

[mossy mason]

do you know if there is any rules on what platform you can make the game on?

[sick sky]

You can use any game engine tool you like. Unity, unreal, Godot, html, gdevelop etc etc.

[mossy mason]

sorry, i phrased it wrong. is there any rules on what platform you can make the game for?

like nintendo, pc, vr, etc

[dusty crag]

for a game jam you would typically want to develop for a platform that will be accessible to most people participating in the jam to ensure that your game is played and voted on by a lot of people during the voting period. This typically means you would want to develop for webgl as that would be accessible by pretty much everyone participating.
there's usually not any restriction for what platform you can develop for, just be aware that if you build for a platform with that fewer people have/use you'll have fewer people playing your game during the voting period

[sick sky]

For a game jam (and this one also) it is usually for webgl or windows so that a lot of people can play it and rate it. Sometimes also a mac or linux version for people to download.

[frank abyss]

Sounds like a job, and not a jam. There is no job advertising allowed on this server. Long term collab also falls under that umbrella

[bronze moat]

Ah it's for a project for my school. But sorry did not know 🙂

It's like a few groups making a game and one will win xD do it's kind off a jam. But i know what u mean

[dawn socket]

Hey, that's the jam I'm hosting!

[dawn socket]

Btw, there are a few musicians and artists looking for a team in the discord for that jam. Maybe you can link up with them if you're still looking for teammates.

Hey! Unity, c#, programming, first game jam, but the problem is, since older than a high schooler - advanced level. Want to be in a team. English is my preferred language. Like 2d games, love pixel art.

I have been learning unity for 10-15 days and made some basic 2d projects. My strong point is coding, as i have been coding since 5 years in java. Want to be in a team.

The theme it's like "from start"

I have little formal training and haven't done game jams before, but I really want to work with a game team. Mostly I've done world construction and procedural landscape generation. What do I need to know to be a good team member?

[latent lake]

Communication and not having a big ego. Jams are stressful and short as is.

[tired loom]

I've always found that building a trust bank with the people you work with, like a practice exercise, can highlight what you'd want to improve as a teammate for a jam

my dude his point was you are asking for "local" game jams without specifying any location in a server with over 90,000 members in it from all over the world

Hello everyone, my name is Sam Cullimore, I am 26-years-old and I am thrilled to share with you about my work as the IT and Security Technician for Ruddy Nice Ltd. and the Technical Lead for SGS&CE, Serious Games Showcase & Challenge Europe.

With my background in games development and HNC computing, I have always had a passion for the world of gaming, using it as a tool to tackle real-world problems and a drive to make an impact in the world through my work. Now, as the Technical Lead for SGS&CE, I am given the opportunity to bring this passion to the forefront and make a real difference.

SGS&CE is a platform that provides a unique opportunity for government, military, industry, and academia to submit their games that address real-world challenges and compete for awards targeted at specific audiences. I am reaching out to various communities to spread the word and gather support for this exciting initiative.

However, we can only achieve our goals with the support of these communities, and I'm asking for your help in spreading the word about SGS&CE and encouraging others to participate in this exciting and impactful challenge.

Let's work together to push the boundaries of gaming and create a better future for all.

Thank you for your time and support!

[dire geyser]

How do I create an appropriately sized game/idea for a jam?

[thorny jewel]

Good question -- one tip is to budget out how many hours per day you plan on being able to allocate to the jam. Then choose a game idea you believe can be built in significantly LESS hours than that estimate. This is to account for feature/complexity creep as you develop.

[dusky flame]

And also for the time needed to showcase the project (videos, descriptions, screenshots, etc.).

Made this for a 48 hour game jam the other day. The theme was Shift.

[rugged moss]

When mentioning times like 48 hour game jam is that . . two physical days like "Sunday and Monday" or is it six business days?

[latent lake]

48 hours straight, so two full days.

[normal fern]

hey all are there any mobile game jams coming up?

i'm having a hard time finding one

[woeful basin]

I saw a Playdate mobile handheld jam on itchio

https://itch.io/jam/playjam-3

[rugged moss]

that definitely ups the challenge 😛 if i have like from midnight 01 JAN to midnight 03 JAN versus 8 hours a day for six days

how often do people use premade packaged stuff? what is the criteria for stuff like that?

what stops people from just presenting the same result to multiple jams?

[latent lake]

Nothing, if that's what they want to do. Seems pointless though, as most jams are not for any reward.

[rugged moss]

Thats one thing i misunderstood... so what generally IS the purpose of game jams? Why do them if not for a reward?

[latent lake]

Fun

[covert whale]

What Osteel said. You do it to make something and share it with people and have a friendly competition. I usually end up helping fellow competitors when I do jams. 😛

[bold schooner]

It's a good opportunity to get some experience and projects under your belt. Particularly as a student or a similar level of experience.

[rugged moss]

Are you normally paired up with random people? Do most people do them solo? I assume some folks have groups they do them with

[latent lake]

People do all three

[green steeple]

I definitely might be wrong, but I think a small majority do jams solo. It depends on the jam though too.

I'm really sorry, but the controller on the cover does NOT look right.

[river shadow]

Hi guuuuys! It's been a while since we've last had a Community Bolt Jam so I think it's time we take that back in our hands again!~
I haven't really been that active on the UVS Discord lately but rest assured that I'm always checking out the games that you share, and am still there if you need help too (just ping me!)
I was thinking of taking the matter in my own hands this time (as far as hosting the jam goes), as I haven't heard of @Yolo Studio in a looong time (and I believe their Discord was hacked at some point): in which case I probably won't be participating (or, at the very least, not competing).

I will make a thread (if there's enough people interested) to discuss potential themes, and we will be selecting either 1 or 2 theme(s) randomly. The theme(s) will be announced at the start of the game jam. The Jam will last for 2 weeks, as always, to allow for anyone to join.
Forgot to mention: you can use external assets but the core gameplay elements need to be built around Bolt/UVS scripts! Bonus points if the game is fully made using visual scripting. Sounds and Visuals will also be rated. The game can feature light NSFW elements, but those need to be toggle-able whenever possible and you need to mention it (as to avoid streamers randomly getting banned because of your entry).

As always, if there are enough people interested, I will contact asset developers such as PixelCrushers to try and build up a price pool for the winners. Please DM me if you wanna join! I'll make an Itch page if there are more than 5 teams willing to participate.
Goals are:

10<n<15 devs/teams: 2 price bundles for the winner and #2
15≤n devs/teams: 3 price bundles for the winner, #2 and #3```

The jam would likely start on the 29th of April (something like 00:01am). Let me know what you think of it and whether you'd be interested in joining!

We're looking to assemble a 3-man team. Right now it's just me (Programmer / Unity Expert) and a Musician / Sound Designer. Last year the two of us managed to get 'featured' in the official video as well as score #18 in Enjoyment (out of 6,000).

Looking for multiple roles to join a 30-day Rpg game jam!!

roles filled -- programmer(couldnt hurt to have another), composer

Hey! Im looking for multiple roles for a rpg game jam that is starting tonight. Our project will be done in unity. I am the programmer we have, I am a bit rusty so another programmer could help haha. Any other role you want to fill would be appreciated(artist, writer, sound fx, design even.)! Top priority currently is an artist , any style will do, drawn, pixel, 3d, we'll make it work. The game we want to make is a fire emblem-inspired strategy rpg. If you don't know what that entails, Ill explain the basics for what we absolutely need(once we have these done, we can add our own special flairs to make it our own.)

Fire emblem insipired strategy rpg

-You are in charge of moving multiple characters across a grid based map

-Move all players on player phase one at a time, enemies move on enemy phase after.

-Attacking is done by moving a unit directly next to an enemy unit and attacking.

-The success rate of the attack will be determined by various stats. Atck will affect damage, spd will determine the chance of the attack hitting.

-Rock paper scissors style combat--units with swords stagger units with axes, axe units stagger spear enemies, spear units stagger sword units

-Staggered enemies cannot counter attack for one phase.

-Win conditions could be something like "defeat all enemies" or "defeat enemy commander"

-You will have a main unit, the main character. If they are defeated in combat, it is game over.

Shoot me a dm if you're interested!!

Hey guys.
I’m looking for a team to jam (either a few times or regularly). The goal is to produce a lot of games in small timeframes. I got lots of free time on my hands in the upcoming weeks or couple of months.
I’m a generalist: I like building Unity systems, Unity Editor Tools, Game Design Documents, making shaders with shader graph, pixel art with Aseprite or possibly 3D assets in Blender (used to work on Architecture Visualization, but could quickly learn Game Asset creation workflows).

Anyone trying to join in the metroidvania monthly jam? Seems like it could be a good time and a good learning experience. I'm trying to form a team that wants to make some sort of 3D metroidvania project, I was thinking something mecha-themed could be fun. I do general 3d modelling for characters, environments, and animations, as well as scripting various movement and interaction systems. I have participated in many game jams. Here's a link to the jam: https://itch.io/jam/metroidvania-month-21 and here's a link to my portfolio: https://sites.google.com/view/travp333
but yeah if you think that sounds fun lmk and we can brainstorm a bit!

[molten ridge]

What sort of roles are you seeking?

[warm perch]

as of right now we have 2 programmers, 1 programmer / 3d modeler, one sfx guy, one music guy, and one story guy. So we have an alright spread right now but we could expand a bit. An animation person or An environmental / level design person would be nice, but yeah the team is filling up a bit

personally metrovania types are my favorite..

Sadly, the US is becoming one of those places.

Hello! I’m a director/writer who wants to make an 18+ strategy/tactical dating game. Think Fire Emblem with more of a focus on dating and erotic scenes! I’d like to do the “New Year, New Skills Game Jam”! https://itch.io/jam/new-year-new-skills-game-jam

Gameplay mechanics rely heavily on who you choose as your partner and how you treat them. There will be 6 partners to choose from, each with different retainers, backstories, side quests and starting positions!

If you bed your partner multiple times, their stats go up! However, if you choose to focus on other aspects of the game (training, cooking, eating, socializing with others–they bring a new recruit in to join you in your conquest!

Having done game jams before, I know this big of a game isn’t possible in such a short time frame. However, I’d like to try completing 2 battles with one romantic lead to see the potential of the idea and get to know some people!

I’m looking for:

-Pixel animation artist OR 3d animation artist
-2d animation artist
-Unity or Unreal programmer (Pretty flexible, just need a program that can incorporate the things I want)
-Quality Assurance Engineer
Here are my previous works: https://jennyvipham.itch.io/

Hi

Anyone who wants to do a game jam in unity?

[wanton kestrel]

Whats a game jam?

Ah

[latent lake]

Easily googled

[wanton kestrel]

Yeah 😅 that was the ah

Seems like a cool idea though I'd probably give myself a stroke attempting it

[latent lake]

Well, a lot of them are longer than a few days. GGJ (currently in progress) is a week.

[wanton kestrel]

I'm currently working on a project that would probably be considered one

Me and like 8 other students are supposed to be building a game that teaches about cyber safety

An arcade game*

Its not going well 😂

Well only 3 of us have actually done anything

I'm the only coder for it, and my art designers haven't been making the sprites

I'd be surprised if I have it even remotely done by February 🙄

[latent lake]

That's usually how it goes with student group projects. Anyway, good luck with it

[wanton kestrel]

Thanks mate

[wanton kestrel]

It got worse when the teacher told us that it was representing our school at some convention

Tech Olympics I think

[calm oracle]

when is a good time to start joining game jams?

[latent lake]

There is no requirement. Do one when you feel like the jam theme is something that's interesting to you.

[calm oracle]

How do i know if I am good enough to take it seriously? i feel like i make 2 levels in a week lol

I guess i wont know until I do it huh, any to sign up to atm?

[latent lake]

Do a gamejam and see how it goes?

You can check itch for a list of jams

[calm oracle]

itch?

uhh, i dont know what itch is

[wanton kestrel]

Itch.io mate@calm oracle

[calm oracle]

ooo okay

[wanton kestrel]

It's a free game publishing site

[calm oracle]

nice, that might give me some motivation

[wanton kestrel]

I've been running my game betas on it and getting feed back from those who play it

[calm oracle]

ohh ive been on this site, i didnt know they did that

[wanton kestrel]

And honestly, my aspect ratio error is why I've not been posting

[sonic dove]

Wild

But what would you even do tho

[past glacier]

If you've never done a Game Jam before, we have some great resources available: https://learn.unity.com/project/get-started-with-game-jams

I'd check out some of the other conent on Learn too, some good stuff to help you get started.

[main drift]

We have a cyber safety game running at a local police museum for kids 🙂 it was longer than expected but we had to sync 11 systems, and their wifi was terrible.

[main drift]

It depends a lot on who you join with. I will say though, I recently was a judge for a big game comp in my city - 10 of 12 were in Godot, including the winner. And we also just did a really big game jam, with about 30 out of 42 submissions in our city also being Godot. A few short years ago that would have been primarily unity. Interesting to see the userbase changing.

Anyway, having a good clear goal of what you intent to do is important. The in person jams are better the less experience you have.

The next big one is global game jam of course this weekend

[split bolt]

Can we join game jam as a team?

Global game jam

[latent lake]

Yes

[pseudo slate]

Yeah I'd be interested

[dense sundial]

https://youtu.be/FsEDjbdU2PA?feature=shared&t=1333

[lean blaze]

@pseudo slate Hey me too, this week-end ?

[thick canopy]

I can join as well

[lean blaze]

shall we add each other along with the other 2 and create a group chat ?

[past glacier]

Be sure to share your finished project with us here! My favorite part is playing all of the awesomes games y'all make!

[thick canopy]

Sure

[lean blaze]

Hey (sorry for the pings), can you add me so that we can make a group chat (my request won't send)

[iron hazel]

If anyone is doing the GGJ this weekend, Scene Fusion 2 (real time collab for scene design) was posted today and has a special free version available https://kinematicsoup.com/news/2024/1/25/scene-fusion-for-ggj-2024

[main drift]

I'm not sure on the pricing as its locked behind account creation, but you have a generous free tier for new users, which is nice to see.

[iron hazel]

The account is needed because it uses an online state server to handle replication and people need to manage who is on their teams. You have to select "Free tier" to create the account on our website, or you can do so from the account overview page once signed in. We also use this account for a multiplayer hosting system we call Reactor.

[main drift]

Yeah that doesn't really explain why the pricing is hidden until you do that however.

[iron hazel]

It shouldn't be, there should be a "try free" button on the website.

Oh wait, I see, we have a bug where if you select more seats the pricing isn't showing up

The pricing for SF is changing for SF2 though. We want small people to just use it for free, then offer paid tiers for support that cost more than we've been doing in the past.

In about a month we'll just be boosting the free tier seats and removing restrictions. Groups who need extra things like dedicate replication, LAN, support, etc. will receive pricing based on funding.

[main drift]

It's OK, I wasn't trying to put you on the spot. I was just trying to figure out what it would cost to use. I don't want to throw things off topic

[iron hazel]

Just realized that's hard to grok - it's been a long day. What I meant to say is that we'll just increase the number of people that can use a 'seat' for free so that it pretty much covers indies, and then offer extra services for bigger studios at a premium. Charging small amounts for more than 2 seats doesn't generate revenue, so it might as well be free. The only way we've made money on SF was to sell things like support and extra features to bigger studios.

The model is going to be something like, free for up to 5 people concurrent in a scene with no limits outside of instance RAM (about 4 GB, so terrain editing can eat it if you're not careful). There will be value-add services such as replication server geo location selection, managing multiple teams, dedicated replication instances, and support that we will sell to mid-tier and above studios.

[main drift]

That does help, thank you, and is very generous. I'm not opposed to paying and the tool might be helpful to the team. Anyway I completely recognize you are rebalancing it, I'll keep an eye on it as we go along.

[iron hazel]

Yeah we've had this out for a long time, and we've tried the price points of $5, $10, and $25 per seat per month and it made zero difference for small groups - no price changed adoption in any way. We ended up selling LAN setups and service to larger studios instead.

[wanton kestrel]

Interesting, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been given the quite vague topic 😂

[frigid terrace]

hmm I may be missing something but there's an announcement about the global jam and no link to the jam?

[lean blaze]

it's in the global announcements https://globalgamejam.org/

[main drift]

Yeah, what we did is created a comprehensive discord-esque experience, that lets them do password testing, surveys, profile testing etc. And then we injected a reverse-GTA game where you are a local police officer finding criminals. Halfway through the game, a fake discord pops up, and they need to answer questions and see what they should say and do to ensure they stay safe. It was a fun project. Way longer than I thought. But fun.

[hollow solar]

man

the gamejam was announced at 8pm

it is 6:38 AM now

I have yet to sleep

[thick canopy]

Then sleep

The Historically Accurate Game Jam is a friendly video game-making competition with historical themes, generally taking place twice a year. In previous jams, we've covered themes such as The Cold War, The Black Death, and Your Country's History. Challenge yourself to make a game that has historically accurate roots can be surprisingly fun. Why don't you give it a try?

The team members of the winning game entry get a free Steam copy of "Curious Expedition", thanks to the sponsorship of its developers, Maschinen-Mensch, as well as a bragging role on our jam's official server until the end of the next jam!

What are you asking exactly, didn’t you ask earlier?

[molten ridge]

Well, the best thing to do is watch for jams that interest you, and many of them have communities where you can team up with peeps.

Actually I asked here first

[tender beacon]

is there a possibilty to find gamejam/jam teams that i can help in game design/writing

Sure, there's always a possibility for anything. Find a jam starting up and see if anyone signed up needs help.

Wtf

Oh

[steady dew]

lol i was gonna join too, then it said that so ykkk

[latent lake]

You're all having a mild freakout over nothing. Obviously 5 years working full time is not a beginner, which is why they likely specify the "or if you are currently employed". We have people here who have multiple years of "experience" who still don't know the basics of Unity.

[brazen depot]

Assuming that you start programming as soon as you pick up a game engine, it makes sense.

[pulsar basalt]

Huh

Isn’t this it ?

[latent lake]

No, Unity doesn't host game jams. This is a channel for discussing them.

[pulsar basalt]

Well nah then

[pulsar basalt]

Oh i didn’t know it was tagging itch.io though it was tagging dis chat and I was so confused

[rough crater]

PJP Game Jam 2024-1 starts in a month! Join our three day jam, then trade feedback with other jammers during our organized review swap for some guaranteed feedback.

https://itch.io/jam/pjp-game-jam-2024-1

[tall crater]

could someone link me to a site that can generate asset ideas that someone might ask for during a game jam, I've been learning pixelart for a few years but I'm still not confident enough to assist in jams

[limber sorrel]

chatgpt?

[thick canopy]

Gpt is so uncreative I guess you could find some that way though

[tall crater]

chatgpt"How about the theme "Lost in the Cosmos"? For that, you could create a pixel art asset of a mysterious cosmic artifact, like an ancient alien relic or a celestial key". I use chargpt it's very helpful, but I was hoping for something more centered around giving creative prompts

[tender beacon]

not sure if it would help but in the theme lost in the cosmos you can dissect into little pieces
who is lost, what do they look like, why are they lost , what is home like is it a planet, what does the ship resemble
if it is broken, how is it broken, just a few scraps and scratches on the outer layer

or are there whole chunks of that ship missing

https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/212680/ss_052d698926073e8d407a864f0e63a486af24ec0d.1920x1080.jpg?t=1689017446
for example that ship from FTL

is it missing entire Compartments

is there a way i can contribute to a game jam by writing stories /designing levels and gameplay

[latent lake]

Yes, by joining a team that needs that role filled?

[fading flicker]

What are the requirements for game jams ?

[latent lake]

Each jam has its own, but usually there isn't any other than time.

[fathom crest]

Use gemini ai for creative writing, chatgpt is horrible for that

[patent crypt]

Im doing the bullet hell game jam in 4 days, would anyone like to join my team for the jam? Preferably an artist, but really anyone

[glad pier]

sure

@patent crypt

[formal pasture]

Can i have a good idea for my first training project ?

[brazen depot]

flabby birb

To ask my question ?

[latent lake]

yes, discussing game ideas goes in #archived-game-design . This channel is for game jams specifically.

[formal pasture]

[patent crypt]

The bullet hell game jam is happening right now

[tropic dawn]

Hi guys! Me and my friends who are in high school are doing a game competition using unity and blender this summer and we are looking for anyone with experience (especially with blender or just a good artist in general). If you want to join respond to this in chat we have experience and have made a vr game in the past for a competition and won first place at state so if you want to see it dm us! There is also a cash prize so we could all split it but is primarily for experience.

I would also like to see your previous works if you don’t mind 🙂

[tropic dawn]

[cunning abyss]

Ah man, its a team based jam

[humble merlin]

[frigid cove]

That's not an error! That's the Discord invite for The XPlace. 🙂

[humble merlin]

okay I got it

[humble merlin]

wait is sent the wrong ss

nvm anyways, I got the invite

[midnight lion]

new game jam
click blogpost
immediate AI art

[solid pagoda]

I am pretty new to Unity (I have some experience but not much), but I have a ton of experience as a software engineer. Game jam looks fun if anyone is looking for a coding person.

[subtle sonnet]

ai is ruining creativity

[solid pagoda]

And is patient with newbies

[midnight lion]

i love stable diffusion generative AI!!! i love training models off other peoples work so i learn 0 skills and use 0 effort!!!

[tender panther]

Fr smh

[midnight lion]

count me outta this one

[fiery heron]

not a huge fan of sludge

[orchid apex]

Oof, common Unity L

[humble merlin]

wait this is AI

[midnight lion]

in actual game jam news Brackeys Game Jam returns in august, and GMTK dates are still to-be-revealed for this years jam

and then Ludum Dare is coming september

[humble merlin]

okay yea so

im dropping out of this lol

no way im supporting AI

[brazen depot]

it's not always easy to get an artist to join your jams

I don't disagree with the AI problem, but if you're programming it's not the easiest to also develop the assets

[humble merlin]

lemme join that one lol

[midnight lion]

kinda ironic that the guys running this event, who on their home page talk about helping to hire game developer teams and such, cant hire an artist lmao

[humble merlin]

quesiton

do u wanna work on the GMTK or Brackeys game jam lol

like join a team wiht me

[midnight lion]

ill see if im free when it gets closer to the time sure

ill defo be attending those

[humble merlin]

sounds good!

[midnight lion]

i can see why someone would want to use it for their submission, i still disagree with it, but its a lot more respectable than the company running and hosting the event utilizing AI art for branding for their GAME JAM

thats my perspective anyway

[karmic copper]

is there a jam site yet?

[stiff narwhal]

Poor poor unity have no money to hire real artists

[lusty storm]

Yo what's happening? There is a game jam with AI as theme or what?

Oh, got it

[frigid cove]

Just to clarify - the XPlace jam is not AI-themed! If you’re getting to that conclusion bc of the .ai domain on their URL, that’s not it. 😅

[formal cradle]

It's just that 1/5 of the game jam announcement advertises and recommends Unity's recently added AI generation feature

[frigid cove]

@formal cradle Understood! It's definitely just a recommendation and it's not necessary to submit a game for the jam. It's there for people who might not have some of those resources readily available so we want to make it known that you do have the option to use Muse.

[restive lion]

Having issues with the 2nd to last link on the announcement that says "You can find more information here". Pulls up to a broken bitly page for me

[noble mantle]

does it make sense to have their first own game be created in a gamejam

[pliant stirrup]

that's the invite

My first two were in jams, and it helped me a lot with the project management side (that is, actually finishing a game on schedule! )

[noble mantle]

i barely have any knowledge^^

soyeah

The game jam would be my kick off into the game design area

[molten ridge]

Well, in that case might be good to join a team, unless it is a very small project.

Though ideally you can learn a bit from everyone on the team

Does anyone happen to know what time on June 19 (and time zone) the Summer Game Jam 2024 is due? 🙂

Are we allowed to submit at 11:59pm in our local timezones?
(I'm in US/Canada, Central Time Zone (currently in daylight savings, CST = UTC-06:00))

EDIT: I asked on TheXPlace's Discord server, and they said games are due by 12pm PDT on June 19. Thanks anyways!

SKILLUP SUMMER-TIME GAME JAM! PT. 1

Get ready for summer and put your skills to the test!
This is the first of two SkillUp game jams.

START REGISTERING!
https://itch.io/jam/skillup-summer-time

[hearty perch]

Someone recommend a game jam for me to try. I've never finished one yet but I'm wanting to try again.

[real girder]

@hearty perch GGJ, but it's in January

Probably anything with a given topic and 24-48h window will do though

Even better if it's in-person

[hearty perch]

That's a short window.

[real girder]

Yeah, that's the fun part of it

You just focus on building something fun

[rigid sierra]

Take a look at the pinned message for game jams links

[hearty perch]

http://www.indiegamejams.com/ Seems dead or not working. https://itch.io/jams Has an overwhelming amount of game jams and some seem like they are only there to promote game assets or only available for certain communities.

Oh. The indie game jams link is showing them now. I guess I just had to wait a really long time for it to load.

[rigid sierra]

Yea, it's huge schedule list. Took a bit for me too.

[noble mantle]

@hearty perch GDTV gamejam started on friday and lasts till sunday. Theme is 'Last Stand'.

[hearty perch]

I tried one that was 36 hours. Way too stressful for me to try making a game that fast.

[dusty crag]

brackeys has one coming up in like august that is a week long. i've participated in a few of his jams because of their length, they are perfect for people who want to do jams but still have to work and stuff so cannot commit to really short ones

otherwise just keep an eye on itch for ones on topics you enjoy with a length that fits your schedule

[rigid sierra]

@wintry finch What does it have to do with #🕹️┃game-jams channel? Use #1180170818983051344

[hearty perch]

I still kind of would like to do a game jam. There's something appealing about being able to complete them and possibly winning prizes. But at the same time it really stresses me out because I put a ton of effort into it and never can finish. I came close once and I did finish the project but it took an extra 3 hours over the time limit.

I guess the more I do it the better I'll get.

[brazen depot]

Obviously the most simplest answer to that is just don't over scope and have a simple gameloop working before half-way through the jam (and making sure it builds correctly without problems), but one thing that does give me some freedom is being able to just copy paste in my general systems like my GameManager, ObjectPools, ect. Also, having some basic controller/camera scripts helps, especially in teams, to give you the idea what the game will be focusing on.

[molten ridge]

To start out, don't think about prizes; if you need more time, take more time. It is all about the inspiration and shaking out of a rut.

Just get something playable

And then do a bugfix revision after the jam

[hearty perch]

I can have something playable within a few hours. The hard part at least for me is making the content in the levels. It takes a long time for me anyway. I guess probably because I try it all at once rather than gray boxing first. I know I should do simple levels and polish it later but I try doing it all at once.

[molten ridge]

My gamejam games have always struggled with scope, usually because I did all the programming while waiting for the artists and suddenly everything had to get smooshed together at the end

[rigid sierra]

@sonic bison Your post has nothing to do with Game Jams. Not a place to post unpaid intern exams with extra steps to assume their work.

It's not a discussion either. There's no off-topic on the server.

[smoky venture]

got it, thanks

[west tangle]

Been thinking about getting into jams so I can get some more practical experience, but I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by the idea. How have they been for any of you starting out?

[rigid sierra]

It highly depends on the team you are a part of. You don't need any experience to start. Pick a role you want to start in, and make sure you are communicating well with your team about what you want to do and everyone aware of their roles.

[west tangle]

I’d most likely take up programming since that’s what I know the most about at the moment, but I’ve got no clue if I’d be able to implement what ideas the team may come up with. Do people really mind that at all?

[rigid sierra]

Again, it depends on the team. You can try any jam by yourself even to get a feel for it. There are plenty of free assets to use for them.

[west tangle]

I might consider that then. All I’ve done so far is a small game for a uni project as well as some projects made specifically to experiment, not a fully fledged title even fit for a jam. That way at least I can get a feel for it before jumping into team based ones

[weary palm]

There's apparently been a fair few Goedware Game Jams. Is it just unfortunately not the most popular and doesn't have many entries or is there some other reason? It seems like an awesome Game Jam though. (To give some context I'm fairly new to Game Jams and might not know much about how many entries Game Jams usually get)

[livid musk]

Is there a discord for teaming up for jams or something casual?

Like any jam, not a discord server for a specific jam.. i'd have to join many then i assume and thats kinda bothersome

[latent lake]

Find a jam you want to do, they likely have their own server for it.

[livid musk]

But there are so many 😖

i don't know which to choose

[latent lake]

So pick one that interests you

[livid musk]

How many have you done?

[latent lake]

I've done 8

[livid musk]

oh wow ok

well the itch.io page shows a lot... but its a bit overwhelming

i'd much rather just join any who is looking for a team member right now, thats why i asked for a "general server" for these
maybe itch.io has a discord themself hmm.. im gonna check that

[latent lake]

Filter itch by the featured or top jams if they have that option, so you can find ones that will have larger participation.

[livid musk]

ah yes thanks "Featured Jams"

wow https://itch.io/jam/decadejam

[sick sky]

It's definitely a fun jam to participate in. Even if I say so myself of course 😉 !

But we often do hear from participants that it is a fun and educational Jam.
In terms of popularity it can be due to a lot of things and I think not one particular reason. It's probably also because there are a lot of game jams to participate in, maybe sometimes the timing of our jams and we don't have a big social media channel to promote it, or... Do have to say that the last jam had 69 game entries and that does double the jam before it. I do not know the average of game entries for itch.io jams but we are not the top but also not the lowest.

By the way, the ZERO UI edition you replied is a special extra game jam that we do based on a nice discussion about the theme of Jam 11 and that this mechanic with no UI would be a nice challenge. Jam 12 is another regular game jam again that will start again at the end of September 2024. One of the things we try to emphasize is learning from each other and that is why we have a devlog category in the general Jams which is optional but you can still win a nice prize as well if you participate.

Would of course like to say in answer to your question: Join us sometime. We would really like that and of course we hope you will have a good time too 🙂 !

[weary palm]

Haha, I got a reply from the official Game Jam owner! It sounds like fun! I'll see if I can give it a go!

[sick sky]

Yes, the one and only 😉 🙂
We would love to welcome you to one of our jams!
PS: Currently, we have an average of 3 regular Game Jams per year and then this year the special ZERO UI edition as an extra. So about every 4 months there would be an opportunity to participate 🙂

[weary palm]

Awesome! Can't wait!

I'm a programmer/generalist looking for a designer for the GMTK jam, see info here: https://findyourjam.team/gmtk/7395491764915485682

[solid galleon]

Hi, I wanted to talk about Game Jams, how do you guys approach it, because I always try to participate but for some reasons back out, what is the correct approach or the one that works for you guys please, I like building games, logics and creating goofy and fun stuff but I just stop please any advice or anything that you think will be helpful to me or anyone like me please share.

[pastel gate]

the question is why you back out

[solid galleon]

I know what you are saying rather than talking, thinking... doing is the solution but what I wanted was everyone else's approach maybe something might work out for me.

@pastel gate

[pastel gate]

find jams you care about, ones that are perhaps 3-5 days long, and just make whatever you'd like. no need for studio quality stuff just have fun
top reasons for backing out is being hesitant to start and placing high expectations on yourself

but you can just join the game jam to have fun

[molten ridge]

Go look at some finished game jams, but ignore the top entries

Look at all the other stuff that got entered.

The unfinished stuff, especially.

Recalibrate your brain.

[molten ridge]

Most peeps only look at the .0001% that is ridiculously polished and it can completely skew your perception of what is expected.

[blazing nova]

Can I use this template without having to buy it from the asset store?

[latent lake]

What does this have to do with game jams?

If this is from some pirating website, then I think you know the answer to that.

[blazing nova]

I am new to Unity and I don't speak English and it is difficult for me to understand, I speak Spanish, could I use this free template?

[latent lake]

Depends if it's from a site that uploads paid assets for free, which obviously is not legal and is piracy.

But Unity has an asset store for a reason, so you're not downloading things off random websites unchecked.

Spinly's Pinball Jam

https://itch.io/jam/pinball-pixel-jam

We are organising a game jam and are looking for some additional visibility. We believe the prizes could be interesting to hobbyist developers wanting to branch out into the game dev industry.
The games would be featured on the platform but only for showcasing purposes.
It is an online crypto casino, but crypto in the sense of way of payment (like a credit card or PayPal). And well, casino is gambling. But the submitted games would not be a part of this nor are they seen as a potential rev stream.

Shoot me with your questions, I am ready!

will unity learn 2d be good enough to get into game jams? looks fun

obviously i'm willing to look more into specific things i need, i just mean

[latent lake]

That's an odd question. Anything will be good enough to "get into" game jams.

[sleek fable]

Yello, we are a team of 2 at the moment looking for a 3D environmental artist, preferably with unity experience to import your models and do touch ups in level.
We will be doing the next brackeys game jam in September.

We are currently a designer + programmer, I am the programmer, doing a test project to work on our team flow before the jam. DM me for more info 🙂

I've been doing jams for several years.
This will be the designers first jam, but not first game.

[sullen lion]

I can't find the actual game there

[lofty lintel]

oh well you are just in time 😆 im updating the game

[sullen lion]

Oh, the timing! Trying again 🙂

[lofty lintel]

[high violet]

hey guys
how do you collab in unity
I have a team of 6 friends
How are we able to collab

[latent lake]

Use Git

[ornate zephyr]

Git for real. Best answer ever.

You get a branch. and YOU get a branch!

[clever galleon]

Git or Plastic SCM

[half heron]

Looking for people to make a team for game jams DM if interested

[latent lake]

You need to specify which jam you're actually doing, and your role you are and need.

[modern oasis]

are there any good beginner two player game jams any one know of? I don't really know where to look for them

[latent lake]

Itch.io has a list of upcoming jams

[modern oasis]

Do you have any hints on understnading them? I'm looking but it just kinda looks like a bunch of words to me 😅

[ornate zephyr]

ANyone see the Escape2024 game jam? Im sort of interested in trying to whip something up, but need a 2nd person, or up to 3 more for a group of 4.
https://itch.io/jam/the-2024-escape-jam

I have a concept if anyone would be down to do this with me

[barren delta]

[barren delta]

yeah this sounds perfect i was slightly worried about the date bu its perfect for me, if you're interested in down to get to work

[molten ridge]

Whst do you need, though?

[latent lake]

@sonic bison You can repost this without all the flair and drama build up. We don't need to fuel some discussion beyond you showcasing your jam results, thanks.

Hey friends!
We're looking for a UI/UX artist/designer person for GMTK 2024, which is happening this friday!
We currently have a team of many people (like 16 or something, I've lost count at this point), but nobody for this specific task. We're looking for 1-2 people in that area, but likely just one.
The game will primarily be in 3D, but we specifically want at least 1 2D person, for UI/UX and some character art.
Big bonus points for having initiative, energy, and avaliability for the whole jam. We're planning to teach git and unity basics before the jam to our teammates who are into the idea, to speed up our workflow during the jam itself, so you'll also catch that if you'd like. We will be working in Unity, but knowledge of that isn't required.
Reach out either to me through DMs, or to gram through https://findyourjam.team/gmtk/5958784485932748535
As this is a 96 hour jam, bonus points for avaliability during its entirety. Don't worry though, we like having sleep here.
Any timezone welcome

[feral whale]

Hi, is it possible to have one of my games directly playable on my itch.io creator page?
like when someone goes to my profile, they can instantly test my game and get an idea of what kind of games I make

[split raven]

Yup, you need to build it for webGL, and remember anything but the most basic 2d games won't usually run too well on it. But for quick demos and well-optimized small 3d scenes it's pretty cool
