Who else here participated in the previous jams? What were your games last time? Is this your first time? Do you have a team or will you go solo? Are you on the Discord server yet? Let's discuss!
Personally, I participated in Wowie 2.0 where my team and I started making our game Glitcheon. Now, almost 1 year later... we're still developing it! Check out the jam version here: https://river-forge-games.itch.io/glitcheon
That's valid. Just keep in mind that it'll make it a bit more of a hurdle for people to try it out if you can only test it with Roblox installed. Best of luck!! :)
Hey! I'm 11 too, and I use Godot, but have some experience with HTML/CSS/JS with React. If you are interested, we could team up? I tried a few game jams (solo), but I couldn't submit for most of them due to the small timeframe. I don't do sound much (I usually use random SFX makers like SFXR), and my art isn't much better (when I do make some, it's usually pixelart with aseprite), but I should be able to program something for the game.
I'd love to. I have a youtube channel where I make videos about my music and programming projects:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYCxo3ZNnWN1UxEGtoIzZEA
I could make the music and some sprites or I could program and you design (or something like that).
Great! Is it okay if we use Godot (It's much easier to create games with many features with a game engine)
Also, how can we communicate?
P.S. I just submitted a game for a game jam. Want to try it? https://itch.io/jam/bwalter-jam/rate/872754
Okay. I have no experience with the engine, but I can make art and music for it. I may be able to learn some godot in the next few months, though.
We could communicate using google meet, hangouts, email... I'll be okay with using any communication platform.
Your game was very cool! mine aren't very good because I do not use a game engine. How much time did you have to make it?
Used 72 hours (in a game jam). Luckily, I managed to submit it in the last 30 seconds. I keep thinking I learned my lesson and to prepare everything beforehand, but I seem to always fall into the same trap when I finish the game but don’t have time to submit :( (Of course, this time, I was lucky, but probably won’t be next time if I don’t change and certainly was not lucky before)
Nice. Investing your time into creativity and coding is always time well spent. Best of luck!! :)
For spam protection reasons I had to disable DMs on Discord, but the link to our Discord group is is here: https://discord.gg/AaCS6TP
I'll be active there during the jam. :)
Nice! This will be by 2nd wowie jam and 8th(or 7th, i dont remember) game jam. I entered 6 jams last year, aiming for more this year :D
Be sure to link me your game for ratings if you want, cuz i will stream it like i did gmtk 2020 jam
Nice! Going solo for your first jam is imo a good idea.
My first experience in a team (Game Jam #5 or #6, GMTK 2020) was very exhausting and hard. The second one (Game Jam #7 or 8, Mi and Game Jam 2020) was more cooperative overall.
So, i suggest going solo first (which you are and thats good) and later on go for a team cuz you have enough experience to manage yourself so you can spend time managing/collaborating with the rest of the team :)
Sure I guess what I can do is "sprites, ideas, possible sound effects," but if came down to though I'm not best at, would be coding at some level of degree. I would need to join a person or a team though. :)
