Can't Stop, Won't Stop

How to participate

• Join the MetaBoy Discord: https://discord.gg/MetaBoy
• In the MetaBoy Discord: Submit a ticket by clicking #create-ticket and choosing "Game Jam"
• Once you've registered, ready your tools and make your "I'm IN!" post in the #Game-Jam-2022 channel.
• Sign up for a free GitHub account if you don't already have one. 
• It's free! Incomplete games are accepted, though we want playable submissions! So don't stress to make a complete game! It'd be awesome if you want to evolve it beyond this event! 
• Join the Game Off on itch.io. If you don’t already have an itch.io account, sign in with your GitHub account. 
• Create a new public GitHub repository to store the source code and any assets you’re able to share for your entry and push your changes before 11/14 @ 12:00 UTC Submit your game through itch.io

Rules

• Submissions will only be accepted if submitted through Itch.io
• You are free to use any tools or libraries to make your game.
• If you use 3rd party assets (such as music, SFX or art) other than the provided MetaBoy assets, please note that on your submission. 
• Submissions must include source code
• Team MetaBoy will provide art assets for use during the jam. Please use only the trait combinations of the MetaBoys you own, or use the Loopring API to allow players to use their own MetaBoy.

Environment Setup Best Practices

• Pick, install and/or update your tools (Unity, UE, Gimp, etc)
• Install and test the skeleton framework (Official links only on Discord & Itch.io)
• Sign up or login to your GitHub, and setup the repo. Set your repo to "public" so that the Judges can confim
• Send your GitHub account name to the GameJam Organizers team so we can give you access to the asset packs

Where do I get Assets?

To get 3D assets for the MetaBoys you own, use the MetaBoy Lounge

2D sprite packs will be distributed in our discord on request.

To let players use their own MetaBoy's in game (Triathlon Mode!) use the Loopmon's Loopring Unity asset

Note: due to dependency issues, Loopring Unity only works with Unity 2020. If you are not sure what that means, use pregenerated 3D or 2D assets instead of this way.
