Hello everyone , this is yashwanth. Iam final year CS student. I live in vijayawada, India. Recently i have published the 2 puzzle games on playstore here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=beginners+tutorials&hl=en. Why i have participated this Because i have some knowledge on game engines. one thing i liked is we can use any game engines. Give some tips for this jam.Thank you.
I think, the two major tips are:
Remember to test your uploads (make sure they can be downloaded and played on all systems you're building for) BEFORE the time limit is up.
This is what screwed up my GMTK jam submission this year. It was only my second jam, and I don't have a Mac to test on, so I didn't know the file was incorrect. Plus my windows upload was the 64-bit version, which someone couldn't play.
And because GMTK doesn't allow for updates/fixes after the time limit, I had to just delete both versions of my game, and the game page, effectively killing my entry (and my spirit).
I'm still kind of butthurt about it, but I really only have myself to blame.
Pick a small idea.
If you need to take a day or two to come up with the concept it's ok. But you need to pick something that's really small and manageable. Don't get too ambitious and pick something you think you could finish within 48 hours. If you pick something small then you can focus on polishing it and you have a lot more time to react and change things as the project goes along.
