That should be ok, but try to include road trip experiences so it’s not plainly a delivery service simulator!

As stated in the FAQ, fantasy or historical vehicles are ok.

We’ll allow it as it’s very similiar to what we already allow in IFs and tabletop games =)

A road trip needs to have an actual trip in it to be a road trip.

i don’t know actually, that’s a good question

They have to be doing the road trippin’

Could you give more info on what you mean by analog CYOA?

It’s working for me

I won’t say it has to as I don’t want to limit potentially creative ideas, but you need to make sure the game is about a road trip and not a driving simulator if you do that. It needs the experiences of a road trip.

No

does it allow you to publish the game here on itchio? if not, then no.

It can.

The deadline is clearly visible on the jam’s page.

Yes to both

Your project needs to be playable on itchio, either by download or hosted on web, to be accepted into the game jam.

yes to both

Yeah, roblox is a no.

This has been answered in this thread before.

EDIT: And in the FAQ.

Any kind of graphics is ok. I don’t get what you mean with the harpoon question, sorry.

Sorry for the late response, I’m graduating today and had to check with my co-host lol

If the bus drive has the experiences of a road trip, it should be ok. E.g: stopping for meals and gas, staying at hotels, sightseeing, etc. I think the difference between a road trip and a regular bus travel in your case would be more important.

1. They don’t have to know each other from the get-go. Getting to know (or hate) strangers during the trip is ok.

2. The interactions don’t have to be positive. If you want everyone in the vehicle to hate each other’s guts/ actively plan for their murders/not care about each other, that’s okay. The social aspect can be as negative as you want, not all road trips are fun times for everyone.

3. Minibus and van are ok, my own game has a van as it vehicle.

Hmmm… I think boats might be pushing the ‘road trip’ concept a little, so I’ll have to say no.

(And the game can be 2D, yes.)

Yes

For this jam we’re looking for the experiences of a road trip. If you can find a way to delve into that, historical games should be ok.

Edit: About the ocean, we aren’t allowing boats for this jam as explained in an earlier reply.

Please stop submitting an unfinished, incomplete, unplayable project into our jam. Your game so far has nothing to do with the jam’s theme.

Please only submit your game when it is playable on itchio.

Something like microsoft sam? Should be ok for the jam but make sure to check for licenses to see if the software allows it

Yes

Muito obrigada por jogar! Uhuuuu BR 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Honestly, that is really relative and we don’t want to give a minimum as what matters really in this jam is the experience of a road trip. A 2 hour trip can have all the road trip classics just as much as a 4 hour one does.

Yes, We love interaction fiction in fact, so please do submit your IF! =)

You can use them as placeholders during development, but in your released game, the assets need to be original or from asset packs/creative commons.

Up to you, in the end only one person will submit the game

Then it should be ok.

Hmm…. it would need a vehicle, and to present the experiences of a road trip inside the human body.

Would it be purely a car race, or would it include the experiences of a road trip? Bc that’s what we’re looking for

Hello, road tripmaxxers. The jam starts tomorrow!!! Yipiee, hooray!

A FAQ is now available on the jam’s page. Please read it before asking any questions, as we’re receiving a lot of questions that were already answered multiple times before.

The FAQ will be updated as more questions come in.

Additionally, I would like to clarify again that the DevTalk Discord server is for visual novels only. The admins there are not the hosts, so they can’t answer your questions. If you have a question, ask here on the community board instead.

We don’t have an official discord for Road Trip Game Jam as neither of us are capable of moderating a potentially large community at this time. Any question that you have can be quickly answered here.

We did not expect this sheer amount of interested devs, I frankly thought we’d have 20 max and maybe five or six games total by the end of it. I was even thinking of streaming all the games after, but, uh, I don’t believe that’ll be doable…

Thank you so much for the interest, and we wish you all a fun, chill jam!

As for my final message:

Please read the FAQ and the pinned questions thread!

Yes

It’s okay

It can be a solo journey.

Then yes :D
