Feel free to ask questions about the jam here!
Question!
I'll participate in this jam alongside another one, which already started (it began the 1st and ends the 31rd). I had planned to use the OST made in this one for the other jam, will my submission still be accepted? Answer n°6 says No, it is required that all participants compose an original soundtrack for a game that does not yet exist before the jam. That means soundtracks created for other game jams that starts after this jam can be submitted, but I just want to make sure
Just a link to your own soundcloud, not uploaded there as well?
No, it is the link to the tracks that other people can listen to.
Can I provide a "private youtube link" to the screen recording of my songs, or does it need to be public for all to see?
It should be public (or unlisted on YouTube) so people with the link can still see it. Alternatively, you can just provide screenshots instead, which is allowed.
Hope this helps ^^
I hope this is allowed - here's a link to a small collection of free resources focussing on game audio I put together:

Let me know if you have any questions (or suggestions, it's a work in progress) :)
Hi!
Can i register the tracks to my PRO after the jam ends ?
I believe you can, yes. However, I'm not sure if it will be eligible to be in the compilation album (if qualified) or not, but I think if you give the appropriate permissions and consent then I'm pretty sure it will be alright.
I plan on releasing them myself on bandcamp at some point, i just want to be sure they are safe to be put out there (sry i'm just a bit paranoid about all that)
Yes of course! You can release them anywhere you want, it's your soundtrack after all! We don't own anything you submit. ^^
Mmmh
It's really so that i can get royalty from streaming really
i saw the youtube compilation is posted under "Various Artists"
Maybe (on the off-chance i'm qualified ^^) if i post it on my Youtube channel and you can include the vid in the playlist as you see fit (kind of like the Spotify playlist where each track is listed as coming from it's author/artist)
I'm gonna ask around, and prepare an authorization just in case :)
Ah, about that, you will already get the majority cut of the streaming royalties from the distributor we use, so rest assured you'll get your streaming royalities either way ^^.
These streaming royalties are from all of the streaming services btw, including Spotify and YouTube, that's why they're posted on a topic channel so they can be monetized.
EDIT: Our gracious host walked me through a late submission and I'm most grateful. I look forward to listening to everyone's stuff!!
Hey, Lone Rabbit! I'm so sorry, but I didn't realize the submission deadline was 10:30am in my time zone... I thought it was PM. I finished the track yesterday but didn't post it because I got home late from a gig!! I'm quite sad I missed it. Is there any way I can still post somewhere? This was my first jam and I'd love to get heard, at least, but I don't care about being entered for prizes. :-)
Here's a link to the tune, for what it's worth. Thanks for hosting, regardless, and I'll read the fine print next time!
