No roadmap at the moment, just whatever i feel like in the moment lol

Next up I'm thinking about doing a swamp-focused update

Reworking the naming convention is probably the way to go then!

I might do some reorganizing, I originally had them all in the same folder because I didn't want to have people have to sort through ten different folders to get the sprite they want --

But at this point with how many sprites there are, you're right that it might make more sense to divide them into sets lol

Thank you SO MUCH again!!!!

Ah -- heads up by the way! If you already downloaded the pack, I noticed I forgot to include the angler in the standard non-filled zip, this has been fixed!

I could try my hand at it, though admittedly I'm a lot better at smaller, more compressed art than anything higher res than 16x16

It sounds like something fun to try out, I might make a "Bigger & Better" update featuring "boss" versions of some enemies once I've made a few more updates!

Oh!! And if there's anything you'd like to see added please let me know!!

At the moment I'm drafting up a sea/water-focused update but I'd be happy to queue up some other things as well!

:)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I really appreciate it!

Just 1, though 3 or more are recommended

The time on the jam page is the time that the jam will end. There won't be an extension, barring extreme circumstances like itch shorting out

Just as a heads up -- I've added the license as a separate download (just so that people don't confuse it for an update to the asset pack itself when checking their feed).

I could for sure make some NPCs, though it might take me a minute!

Sure thing, I can do that in just a minute.

It should be listed on the page as well in "More Information" but I can attach it to the zips as well!

:DD

Let me know what you think!!

That's alright -- I'd probably wanna format it myself anyways

But I SUPER appreciate it!!

lol looks great, love the font! I can def do something like this

Might take me a minute though, since uni classes have just started back up

Thanks for the feedback, these are definitely some great starter points! At the moment I'm actually working on furniture funnily enough so adding some door variants, down-stairs sprites, etc actually makes a lot of sense to pack with this update!! 

A large tileset version of each folder would be very interesting, I could definitely push that because I basically already have it (one massive aseprite file with all the assets and doodles and whatnot lol), just would need a bit of sorting.

I'm also in the process of animating the characters, though this is a suuper lengthy process and might end up being its own, separate asset pack lol

Thanks a ton!!

Yes, submitting to multiple jams is allowed!

But be aware uploads for your game will likely be locked when the other jam ends.

It's up to you, anything can be spinning -- the player, the boss, the arena, etc

Spin is just a starting prompt to get the creative juices flowing -- you're the one who gets to interpret how this gets integrated into your game

Well, I'm not really sure how to help you there. People will communicate how they choose, and DMs will be unmoderated regardless of platform.

If you're looking to reach out to people on a platform other than Discord, some people like communicating on Twitter, BlueSky, even email, etc -- so providing your account on one of these platforms when trying to team up with someone on a community post may help you out.

Wondrous news: our Discord server is neither dead nor fighting within itself! 

Jokes aside, hosting in too many different spaces would be a bit difficult to manage and in complete honesty there just aren't many other platforms that enough people would be interested in aside from Discord to warrant hosting a space in them.

As a note, participation in the Discord server isn't required to participate in the jam! You're free to engage with the community here in the community tab, and if you're looking for a team we have other avenues such as the team finder or the itch community tab!

I use Pleeze's fonts! They're great pixel fonts, I highly recommend them!

Playroom requires a web build to function

You're free to create a multiplayer game without Playroom, but it won't be eligible for the award

Yup, any tools are allowed as long as they fall within the rules of the jam listed on the page!

For exporting an executable, you'll need a tool like PyInstaller or the like.

All game engines are allowed

Weird... the link seems to be working fine for others. 

In the meantime, maybe try this link? I have it set to expire in 7 days, as a heads up.

If that doesn't work -- try going to the "Discover" section of Discord (bottom left, next to your account), and search up "Boss Rush Jam".

The link seems to be functional, could you post a screenshot of the error?

Also -- how many Discord servers are you in? I used to have a similar issue as I was in too many servers at once. Discord sets a hard cap on how many servers one account can be in. If you're at the limit you may need to leave another server before you can join a new one.

It should be a permanent link. Is it throwing an error?

Would you be willing to clarify what you mean by constructors?

If you're talking about constructors in programming languages, those are definitely allowed. 

If you mean to say game engines, those are also allowed.

Just joining the jam is enough --

Once the jam starts, there'll be a "Submit" button on the jam page you can use to submit your entry.

Though be aware that you can't actually begin working on your game until the jam starts!

Nope, not at the moment

I'll try and add them in at a later time, just very busy these days

This version is plus -- just haven't updated the itch page

I'm not at my computer atm, but is the wrong version up or something?

Hi there -- in the future, please don't use the Community tab to advertise

Ultimately it's not something we can police, but you should be doing this during the jam.

It's important to note that the theme will be a major part of both community voting and judge decisions -- so it's unwise to try and come up with any game ideas before you've found out the theme.

Hi, if they work as-is then sure!

If they need any modifications then I'm not sure I have the time to make them these days 😓

Ohh, there's no win state. Just goes on and on till ya die lol
