Hello, I am new, what should I think about, for the jam . . .

Are there any rules, that a beginner should think about or, like so . . .

Also, when do I get to see the theme, for it . .

You can find that out in the main page. That was the link I gave you here.

https://itch.io/jam/godot-wild-jam-20

I have never been to a game jam, are we all supposed to make a game within the theme, also they say you have to upload something, when it is over . . . Anyway, I was thinking of hanging out, and making games with others, help others a bit, as well . . .

On the other pages, one could see the theme, but right now it's empty, I'd like to get started planning it, making concept art, other stuff, but I have NEVER been to ANY game jam, or seen one, and don't know everything, sorry . .

<3 :( Want to do well, Please help . . .

1. Remember what I said about keeping your posts short and simple. I suggest you don't make such a long reply chain in such a short time frame, but instead edit already existing reply to include what else you want to say to reduce clutter.

2. The theme will come once the jam starts; that's in 2 days so you'll have to wait until then. The only way you can prep yourself until then is by learning some general Godot knowledge. UI building, Scripting, Collision handling, etc. That way you can at least a basic game with any theme.

GOSH DARN NANNY HELL ! ! TWO MORE DAYS ! ! </3

No that's a good thing! Use that time to build your skills in the areas I just mentioned. You'll be more prepared, even when you don't know the theme yet.

Mostly I'm there to have fun and, see games <3

And, meet people . . .

Anyway, I can't see the theme, I'm itching to get started <3 :D

<3

Can't wait . . .

So excited . . .

You know, for the jam preparation, I will learn about videos and, ask help for things I don't know yet, like maybe making a UI <3Also, need to know how to publish my game, never thought it had to be uploaded :(

I can begin preparing in other ways, for things I need, may-be sound making <3

What I would recommend is to do some basic Godot tutorials form YT and complete very simple game.

Making game from beginning to the end is valuable  lesson.


Thank you, I mean as a completely new beginner, I can't find where the theme is, what are we supposed to make, sort of . . . Is that perhaps HIDDEN, until the game jam <3 ? !

:D <3

Correct. They only announce what the theme is once the Jam starts. Since you are new to Jams ... In most all Jams, they typically keep the Jam theme or assets secret until it starts, then all people participating have only the allocated time to create a game, and upload it for judging. You can submit a finish game, or a prototype if you run out of time. It does need to be something that works/plays typically. You can team up with other people and help their projects, but you should start looking for people to team up with BEFORE the Jam starts. It will be harder to find people after the Jam starts. I would suggest joining one of the Godot communities, making friends there, letting people know you want to participate in this Jam, and let them know what skills you have (i.e. some programming experience, music making, design, animation, etc.). https://www.facebook.com/groups/godotengine/ or look at this for a list of other Godot communities you could join https://godotengine.org/community

God damn, Jesper. Please... learn how to moderate your enthusiasm for the sake of others.

you're enthuisiastic, it's great!
but please, please, at least just edit your comment instead of adding a new one every time...

Sorry, have OCD <3 :))

Games make peace and, honor . . :D <3<3

Omg, <3

Just to be clear, there will be assets released, that must be used :OO <3

Submitted(+1)

nope. You're responsible for what resources to use. And to reiterate the rules on the main page,

Reusing existing code and assets is allowed.
- No re-skinning of games made outside of the jam.
- A majority of the code and/or assets must be made in the jam's time frame.

Thank you, I saw it on another page, confused them . . .

Hello, I was thinking of joining TWO jams, but ONLY make ONE game, for both, the other is a scary games jam, it should be fun, and maybe a chance to get into ' scary ' coding and, spooky games, I like ' Until Dawn ', teen horror stuff, always cool, not so serious . . .https://itch.io/jam/scream-machine

The only difference is, I'll have two themes, one is horror, the other from Godot WILD, do you think that could be done, if it was ONLY one game, what do you think . .

I think it could be really fun, but what do you think, no matter what I'm excited, there's 23 hours left, for one of them, the it's GODot Time ! ! :D

Submitted(+1)

Dude. Please. Read the rules again.

This is an exclusive jam which means that entries made to both this jam and others will be removed unless otherwise allowed by the organizers (Stern Flowers).

I missed that, I was trying to find all the different rules, my brain was full, after trying to find out, what the them was and, what assets to download :) I got brain-freeze, sort of . . .

I didn't know they'd get mad about it, it makes no sense . . . . .

<3 <3 :((

Well, I'll stay here then, have a bunch of fun and, smiles . . .

:D <3

Ah ah ah! Language Cap'.

Also, can you please condense your replies down to one? Just edit the comment you want to keep with the other replies, and delete the other replies.

Yes, but if I edit it, you won't be able to see it, as a new message, I think . . .

Always want to edit, but I guess I get a bit nervous others can't see it . .

:(( <3

That doesn't matter. I already saw it, and even if no one else saw them, they'd be in the squashed reply. 

Also, can you at least censor out the offence word you used?

Yes, switched it, will try to be nice, you know, I should say thank you for your patience, first, of all . . .

I was thinking of watching some old movies today, try and improve them, as a game idea, do you have any favorite old movies, I could see if I could OCD-autistically improve them, use this, in a game, anyway will watch good movies today, action, fantasy, thriller, and try to come up with some characters and, stories . . . Was thinking of watching Neverending story, like the idea of a character finding and, being sucked into a book, or maybe a DVD, or a music CD . . . :OO <3 <3

Let me know if you need any ideas, for a game, I'm not good at coding, or really engine stuff, but I am sort of good at making new characters, and stuff, if you want to make some super-heroes, I have some you can borrow, for your own stories, if you like . . .

The models are simple, and I will explain the characters, anyway, if you want to make something, or need some ideas, can I ask what did you have in mind, for the game, Your game <3 :D

So, if there's a movie you want me to see or, so or, also if you have some things you need scanned, with 3D scanner, like a rock, or something from a hardware store or, something cheap, you can find on amazon.co.uk ( no more than 20 - 40 pounds ) that you would like scanned, if I can use it, or it's fun, I will order it, have a little too much money this month, anyway something we might both be able to use, like a model car, or a train, or so . . . I'll upload the full 80 megabyte scan, anyway . .

If you want me to scan some rocks, or stuff in the natural world, let me know, I'll see what I can find . .

What game did you have in mind, once we know the theme I was thinking of getting some stuff, to scan, something really detailed, anyway let me know what you need, I might need it to, or could change my game a LITTLE bit, to fit it in <3 Just remember, no addresses, no information, I BUY it, and send you a link, to the scan, I think that's the best way to do it, that's that . . .

Anyway, what game have you been thinking about making . ..  ?? <3

(1 edit)

Anyway, ask me if you need anything, I can do most things . . . .

EDIT : TRYING to learn it, I don't think others will see this, it's a problem with OCD, when it's hard to have more than ONE, or two ideas in head at same time, sort of . . Wish we knew the theme, will watch some old action movies, to get some general ideas, for fun stuff, random ideas . .
