The next gamejam is upon us! And, as promised, the showcase will take place at marecon.You might be telling yourself "But anon, you retard, marecon is two months away. Why are you making a thread right now?". Well, we're doing something special this time around, the theme for this jam won't be based around a singular concept, but instead it'll be about using assets made by your fellow anons! Made by (YOU)What's an asset you ask? Well it's basically anything that goes into a game! Sprites, images, tilesets, sounds music, etc.Here's how this'll work:>ANYONE will be able to submit assets to be used by the devs in the jam>Submissions can be either posted in the thread or sent by the email below>The assets can be either audio or image>The assets have to be freshly made, It can't have been already published on the internet. You can't just go on a booru and grab a bunch of images>The deadline to submit your creations will be on February 14th. The day the Game jam startsDid you get all of that? I'm sure you did! But I'm also sure the devs might have a few questions:>But my game is 3D/in an engine that'll make it impossible to implement any of thisWell, necessity is the mother of invention anon, as long as you keep with the spirit of the thing you'll be alright.>Will I have to use every single thing that comes from this thread?Nah, we'll probably do it by a percentage depending on the amount of assets submitted or a similar metric. You won't have to use all the assets, but you'll be expected to use a good handful!>Fuck you I'm not using any assets that come from thisFirst of all, rude. Second, I can't really force you to do anything. You're your own boss and all that>This is a terrible ideaCome on anon, don't be like that! This'll be fun! Trust me.When we reach the deadline, I'll gather all the assets that come from this and upload them on drive/mega/similar for easy use/accessFeel free to ask any question or give suggestions in the thread. Here's the email I mentioned above, feel free to message me for anything: littlehorseappreciator@proton.me
>>41826479Anchor for submissions, or any important information/updates
>>41826479This sounds really fun, I'll be dropping some soon!
>>41826479>>41826486Fuck you, pay me. I'm not drawing you free pony game assets
>>41826479not interested in your thread, just posting to say I want to cum inside that pony.
>>41826526It's for fun and the community, idk who would pay you for pony assets.
>>41826479>give me free art
>>41826479This could be fun. Any examples of what would make a good asset? Are we talking full length songs or 20 second loops? Should sprites be pixel art or traditionally drawn? Any particular genres, styles, themes, etc?
>>41826538
>>41826538>doing something fun with the community... FOR FREE???
yall really just took a shit on op in this thread, stop being lazy and draw some shit.
>>41826526>>41826538I would bet money that neither of you can draw to save your life
Why is everyone assuming that OP is asking for original new art? Just go look up all the old shit from defunct pony games and post it ITT. For example: https://www.deviantart.com/urimas/art/MLPonline-Sprite-Sheets-341840400
>>41826558You could technically do full songs, but I was thinking along the lines of smaller, shorter sounds. Along the lines of sound effects. But if you're up to it you can make 20 second sound loops! I'd hate to stifle your creativity.As for the art, pixel art is normally the safest bet, but everyone appreciates traditional art!No themes of any kind this time around, just pony related
>>41826654>Why is everyone assuming that OP is asking for original new art?Maybe because he is (not that that's a bad thing)>>The assets have to be freshly made, It can't have been already published on the internet. You can't just go on a booru and grab a bunch of images
>>41826664That's stupid. Also, I can't read, lol.
>https://files.catbox.moe/ex574o.movFeel free to use this music track I just made
>>41826479Finally, a way to force people to make games based on my favorite mares, and fillies
>>41826748Filly or colt exploitation is wrong.
>>41826692Goes hard
I'm warning you all right now. I'm making a fart porn game and I'm willing to use ANYTHING posted in this thread.
A while back I made a game using google slides, which worked by clicking on png images to move to the next slide. Any idea how I could share it with other anons without having to share my google acc?
>>41826851download it and then put the download link in the thread
>>41826821Begone harlot
here's some shit i was going to use for a strategy game or something but scrappedsmall ones are 16x16big ones are 48x48
>>41826870>https://files.catbox.moe/2agcak.pptxPlay presentation from start, but only click on things that make your cursor into a hand, or else you will screw up the order. Have fun with this piece of shit
>>41826479this is actually hecking based, after my hangover subsides ill try and make a few things. itll be a good excuse to get my hands onto my guitar for the day, and draw some mares
heres a few doodles that might come in handy
God speed, Anons.https://files.catbox.moe/fp4i06.fbxhttps://files.catbox.moe/6zhm24.png

>>41826536not interested in being forced to use subpar pony assets made by people who don't know what they're doing.
>>41827648>forcedFuck off.
>>41827648What's the matter, scared?
>>41827648>he doesn't think the board can make cool assetsIm going to prove you the fuck wrong.
>>41827648I don't think you'd have to use the whole asset, for example, I'm planning to use the smiling mare from >>41827407 and maybe the coin. The point of this is to be creative anon
>>41826479I've participated in the past few game jams and I want to join this one as well, but I'm really terrible at making assets. It would make me feel bad not to contribute anything, but people probably wouldn't want to use it anyway, so whatever.
>>41827949its not about making really good assets and stuff, its about having fun
>>41827949You can a game for the jam without contributing assets anon! But if you really want to do something you can try for simple generic stuff. Perhaps a tree or a boulder, maybe magic effects? A 2 second mp3 of you screaming at the top of your longs? It's up to you to decide!
>>41827607Finally, a professional 3d modeler
>>41827949Doesn't need to be amazing, if its fun I'm sure someone would use it! Plus, you never know what something seemingly shitty could inspire in others.
This is the first I've heard of an mlp game jam. Gimme more deets. Who can join, where to join, when to join, how to fuck, why is Applejack best pony?
>>41828257>Who can joinAnyone!... From /mlp/ that is>where to joinA link to the itch.io page will be posted a couple days before the 14th of february... At least that was the plan. I might just post it now, because why not? The jam won't start until February 14 though>when to joinAs I said, the jam will start on Feb 14. But I think I'll post the itch.io page in a couple of hours>How to fuckPeinis>Why is Applejack best pony?She is not, factually incorrect actually
>>41826486>>41826692>>41826897>>41826907>>41827407>>41827607>>41827623Do tell me if I missed one
>>41827607Blessed
>>41827407These are neat, thanks anonI think the coin is missing a couple frames though
>>41829429you can flip the images to do the spin or something, the point was less fleshed out assets more building blocks to get things moving
I will gladly provide goofy chiptune loopshttps://files.catbox.moe/p9jrt0.wav
i have some mare questions1. can i use other assets? and whats a limititations of it? Like sprite packs not okay but something like odin inspector in unity (pure code stuff) is fine.2. whats deadline for gamejam
>>41829734>can i use other assets? Of course! You can use any assets you want, not only the ones provided by the thread; BUT you're expected to implement a handful of the thread's assets into your project, the exact amount is yet to be decided, it'll depend on how much we'll be working with.>whats deadline for gamejamThe Jam will go through the 14th of February until the first day of marecon, which I think starts on february 28>>41829597>>41826486Also anchoring these questions, because I didn't explained myself all that well in that regard
also, solo or team? and if a team then whats a limit
>>41829771Solo or team! However you prefer it! No limit.The only rules to follow are the ones already stablished in the thread! (Which are the use of assets and the deadline)And technically you could make a game without following my rules and I'd still show it, but where's the fun in that anon?
>>41827607hey fag you forget to import textures in this model
>>41826486>>41829734https://itch.io/jam/marecon-mlp-game-jam-asset-editionMade the itch.io page for the game jam because why not. THIS IS FOR THE GAME JAM. PLEASE KEEP POSTING YOUR STUFF IN THE THREAD.You can sign up, but you'll have to wait to submit your game... I recommend you holding off on working on anything until we reach the asset pack deadline and we have all avalible assets.

>>41830789Neat, I didn't know plunger had a twitter account
>>41832265it was recent, maybe a couple weeks ago. it blew up though, rightfully
>>41826479>assets>picNice. Cool idea as well!
bump
>>41826566>dead generation tumor thinking he gets to have an opinion
>>41832327ASSets
>>41826479I need more info. Giv me assets to draw and I'll draw them. I'm not just drawing random stuff. I'll probably default to my regular art style but I can also mimmick another style too
>>41833690This, suggestions for things would be fun to see what people might want to use.
>>41833690I don't think I should explicitly tell you what to draw anon, but I can give some ideas like >>41833791 said! It honestly sounds like something I should've opened the thread with, my mistake>>41826486Anchoring it for easier access/visibilityNow first of all don't take this as a restrictive list of things allowed to post, these are just quick ideas for the anons that might need a little inspiration in their contribution.Now. Here's some things that come to mindBackgrounds are an option if you're feeling like drawing a landscape. And in that vein, drawing buildings would also be neat, Landmarks like canterlot castle, the treebrary, changeling hive, etc can be good.Tilesets for multiple locations I could see as useful. For those who don't know, a tileset is a "collection of rectangular images, or tiles"... Basically little square images that are normally used to create repeating patterns such as houses, roads, foliage, etc, without having to draw sprites for them every single time. Keep in mind that these squares should be the same size! And they also look natural when used (no sudden cutoffs when used together) Example of one in use:https://files.catbox.moe/ox7qzs.jpg-Important items such as the elements of harmony, zecora's potions, twicane-Regular mundane items are also an option, stuff that comes to mind is: Food, potions from zecora's hut, bit bags, scrolls, hay shakes, -Silly stuff is something that comes to mind too! Such as peetzer, lewd books, carrot-dogs, Celestia's canon that she used to send Luna to the moon bitch.-Character portraits I could see being used in a couple of ways. (Example):https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2023/8/7/3178182.jpg-Character sets like some anons posted above are also valid. (Example):https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2023/9/11/3198486.png-Beasts as enemies can be good as well, preferably also as character sheets(For the character sheets, try to make every picture the same size. I think most programs can do this when exporting an animation)-Particle effects for animations are also good! Stuff like magic particles, spike's dragon flames and changeling transformation flames comes to mind-Fonts are also permitted, if for some reason you'd like to make oneIf you're doing pixel art, then it's normal for the end result to be a bit small, but if you're doing traditional art, then you should do your draws it a little bigger, but not enormously sized.Overall I recommend you to think something show specific, something that you wouldn't really find in a regular asset pack on the internet. OR think something funny that'd get a chuckle out of you seeing in a game. Get those creative juices flowing!
I'm not able to help, but I will look forward to what you all produce
>>41833690okay, this is my shopping list:all art must me in g4 style or style near to this all of static graphic assets must be in .png formatalso that would be cool if for include additional source formats in additional for .png (like .psd or .ai or whats tools you using)environment near to ponyville:- 2-3 tilesets of different grounds types (grass/stone/dungeon) for 2d top down projects. Ref: https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvNTkzMTExLzMxMzcyNTUuanBn/original/qwO5pM.jpg- at least 3 different skins for each of this assets: tree, grass, bush, stones, flowers Refs: https://pinterest.com/pin/330873903847631235/ https://pinterest.com/pin/362891682493884555/- barrels, boxes, chests. with break or/and open animations Refs: https://pinterest.com/pin/445997169367467314/ - benches, statues, poles, buildings Refs: https://www.deviantart.com/boneswolbach/art/Ponyville-Pony-Statue-412154284 https://thesouthernnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/3619418-lyra_heartstrings_sitting_on_a_bench_like_a_human_s01e07.pngCharacter(s):for skeleton animations you must make each moving body parts like this: https://img.freepik.com/free-vector/character-design-ready-animation_79603-2201.jpgor you should provide enough frames.for ponies:each body parts must be in white color shapes and black outline (for sake of sanity)3 species - unicorn, sys, earth ponies. For Pegasus/unicorns add additional sprites (horn, wings) what can be attached to pony in engine.2 genders - mares, stallion. For specify gender draw different head forms.at least 3 mane styles. If mane has more then 1 color in it then separate sprites on this lines (like a lego bricks separated from each other)enemies:someone like changelings, wood wolf or other magical creatures also ready for rig sheet formatItems:Each item must have icon what can be displayed in inventoryClothes what can be attached to ponies:Steel armor, leather armor, magical robe. Each type of it must be in 2-3 tear variant like: steel armor, gold armor, diamond armor or green magical robe red and etc.other items:A lot of item: jewelry, rings, totems, books, lucky clover also in at least 2 tears.UI:Buttons, sliders, fonts, inventory slots, stats icons and etc.also in close as possible style of mlp pinterest.com/pin/728457308512677722/
>>41826486>>41834080More ideas
Deleted my last post, if you have any specific music ideas please do tell, otherwise would be nice to have shopping lists like Sisi Sea Shell's above, to have some idea of what to try out and send
Emergency bump
>>41834493>Sisi Sea ShellName sounds familiar, can't remember from where though
>>41834027>>41834080alright I'll get started on drawing these
>>41835803lets go!
>>41834027Can someone name some mares/fillies they would like as sprites, want to work on some and want to see what people would want.
>>41836393It would be better to prioritize the creation of universal sets than certain mares.But in general i like to see: sea swirl, depry, rainbowshine, purp. and m6 ofc
>>41836393Yeah, maybe try for a template for fillies and mares. Doing general stuff like jumping, attacking, walking and dodging
>>41836602>purpWhat did he mean by this.
>>41837263Well, obviously to make a full sprite sheet of out favorite con host to make the future best selling game across all consoles: "Purp's adventure: The plappening"
bomp
>>41834493Hmm, I don't know much about music making in general, but making seamless loops of pre-existing fan favorites could be an option, without lyrics of course. If you're looking to make new stuff maybe you could work on a shop theme with upbeat pony-like whimsy, ponyville's and canterlot's theme could also be a good option, maybe even the changeling's have too.Alternatively, you could do some sound effects. I wouldn't know the first thing about that though.This isn't a shopping list though, just tandom ideas I'm throwing in the air
>>41826479Are you looking for 3d models?
>>41838754All kinds of models I'm sure
>>41838754its not a make-what-people-need situation, anonits a make-random-mare-assets-and-inspire-anons-to-use-them situation
>>41838754Of course! This >>41838881 anon explained it perfectly. Anything you post will be well recieved, though if you're looking for ideas I'm sure some anon can think of something
>>41827648

>>41850433I don't know if metadata is different, but you can select the image quoted in >>41844382on stable difusion, and there'll be an option that tells you what promps were used to create the image. In the "PNG" tab iirc.
>>41850433If you download the images off catbox and put them into an exif viewer, it will show you stuff like this> Properties:> parameters: perfectly shape 2d texture, wowtexture of close up image of very large (rooftop shingles) seen from above, <lora:sxz-wowtexture-v2:0.3>, (in watercolor style:1.5), rooftop shingles in a row and columns >Negative prompt: circles, dark shadows, dark lines, dark spots, text, (watermark:1.6), [white], yellow, (black:1.8), sharp shadows, (diagonal pattern:1.4), diamond shaped, organic, blurry, smudged, random stuff, things, ugly, weird, badly drawn, mutated>Steps: 16, Sampler: Euler a, CFG scale: 12.5, Seed: 196194624, Size: 512x512, Model hash: 6ce0161689, Model: v1-5-pruned-emaonly, Denoising strength: 0.28, Clip skip: 2, Mask blur: 4All the major local image generators I know of include the prompt in the image like this, so you can drop the image back into the generator and generate more like it (what >>41850456 describes).Note that 4chan strips out the exif data on uploaded images (so that phoneposters don't accidentally give out their GPS location when posting photos), so anything you get directly from 4chan won't have this. This is why on AI art threads you'll see people ask for a catbox upload of images in the thread that they like - it's much easier than asking for the positive prompt, negative prompt, model name, and all the other miscellaneous info you'd need to replicate the image.
>>41850711>>41841571>Denoising strength: 0.28Huh, just now noticed this one's some kind of img2img. Anon, how did you go about making these?
