Technically yes, like all jams here.
- There will be a theme announcement on the 15th on our discord - https://discord.gamedev.in
- You have to make a game within 48 hours after the theme has been revealed.
- More information on the jam faq, but feel free to ask questions you may have.
- The jam is open to everyone, although to be eligible to collect cash prizes (if any), you would require someone in your team to have an Indian Bank account.
- There are no engine requirements, you can use whatever works for you, but a web-gl build is preferred as more people get to play your submission easily, using engines that produce large executables which are large in size can be cumbersome for people - to download, play and rate your game. Imagine yourself in their shoes having to download a 2GB zip file or play a game online. itch.io also has an upload limit of 2GB the last I checked.
All the best :)
The fundamental idea is to have a platform where folks can submit games that can be judged by either a jury or the public.
At the moment, you can probably use Jams to facilitate this. What would be useful in the case of awards is having options to create categories for people submit into and also the ability for people to submit games which are unlisted and private/secret.
Like imagine if the IGF was hosted on itch.io 🤔
I don't know if this is a side effect, but if I drag and drop the config file into the playlist it does use some of the config data, but the ⭐ seems to be a bit weird. I have to check again. So what seems to be happening is that when I set the star to something else, after I download the zip, that seems to reset to the previous (or in this case the first track in the list)
Aside: I don't know if you do this, but do you use the starred track info from the config file? If so, maybe use the loop count info also 🙈 because otherwise one has to manually put those numbers etc in again. Not super important, but thought I'd let you know :)
Aside from looping the whole playlist, in my case specifically for the kind of music (very tiny looping tracks) I make, looping a single track makes sense too 🙈 - Mini Loops by Yadu Rajiv (itch.io)
Either way :) looking forward to how you go about solving this! All the best again! 💪😊
I think we are thinking pretty much along the same line.
The looping region seems to be the challenging bit, but if these are BGMs or looped tracks, they are most likely to be looped in its entirety. So, it feels that the looped region seems to be the last thing one might need.
The set and edit track preview section can just have a straightforward loop ☑️ and a count 0 (being loop infinitely to N). When on, it can essentially just disable the region setting clipping options like how the "audio is pre-clipped" does it, 🤔 the rationale behind having a count for the loop is to play the piece for a fixed number of times and then skip to the next track.
I was thinking of pressing shift (which you do in audacity to play once 😅) and long press is cool too! But, now thinking about it, if you let the end user decide if the track needs to be looped in the player, then you'd probably still have to take care of looping regions too 🤔
Aside: I think a lot of players use this for repeat 🔁 and repeat one track 🔂 and also ♾️ for loop same track.. I think 🤔
Would it be possible to add a feature to,
- Loop a whole track / region continuously or a set number of times
- Have a play looped option for each track apart from a play button (this is probably may end up being a bit too much for the end user)
Thanks for building the tool! I had written a custom player and hosted it on my website and then embedded it as an iframe initially, now that I was updating my asset pack, decided to switch to Scritch :)
