Hello hello! It’s that time again, time for another GameJam!In case you’re not aware. We’ve been doing Game Jams every 4 months or so, mainly at the board cons.Why at (board) cons? Well, to showcase them of course, the games will be played LIVE with an audience at the last day of the con. Current time is Sunday 29th of March 5 PM EST, check the anchor in case the time changes.If you’re interested in participating by submitting a game, please go to https://itch.io/jam/mlp-marecon-game-jam-horror-and-edge and join! Please don’t hesitate in doing so, having an initial number of interested people helps me calculate the time I’ll need for the panel. If you for some reason don’t wanna make an itch account, you can email me the game at the mail at the end of the post Now, for the theme. Last time we did a restrictive one (which you can check out over here »42778618). This time we’re going for a more thematic one: Horror and edge. Does this mean you HAVE to make horror games? I don’t know, that’s for you to interpret.You wanna make fun of the early fandom edginess? Go aheadWanna make a rainbow factory adventure game? Be my guestWant to experience the daily horrors ponies have to endure on their every day lives (aka: running out of sugar)? By all meansThe theme is for you to interpret and play around with.So, to recap:Theme: Horror/EdginessStream time: Sunday 29th of March 5 PM ESTJam link: https://itch.io/jam/mlp-marecon-game-jam-horror-and-edgeMail: littlehorseappreciator@proton.me Please refer to the anchor for any announcements, updates in scheduling or any other important information.Previous Jam thread >>42778618Art by wapamario63.

>>42997737wtf mare is for air
It is timeFor HYP
>>42997737FAQ:>When's the Jam running?As of now, from February 28th to March 26th, one day before the con starts. Thread has been created beforehand for visibility>Why give a whole month?We all have busy lives, I don’t expect you to work on your games for a whole month, just to make one in the given time frame.>I’m a newcomer to gamedev and/or I don’t think my game will be very good :(You’re among pone frens, we’ve had plenty of people dipping their toes into game making in the past in these jams. In my humble opinion, I think these jams are the best way to get started and/or get some practice. If not now, then when? The more pony games, the better!>I don’t I’ll make use of the full month to work on my gameBah, as I said, I’m not expecting you, and I don’t think anyone is. You could, but the main goal of these Jams is to finish a project in a given time limit.>Does it have to be a big game?The scope is up to you. It could be 5 second game and we’ll still check it out>Can I work with others to make a game?Of course! You can work solo or in groups, it’s not against the rules>Are there rules?The only real rule is for your game to be pony related.>What if I cheat and start earlier?Do not cheat! But if you do, then don't tell me... And if you do tell me I'll pretend I didn't hear/read it. I suggest you stick to the time frame. This isn't a competition, and there is no reward other than finishing your projects.>Can I submit multiple games to the Jam?Yeah, you CAN submit multiple; you're allowed to... But people normally only do one. I’d recommend you stick with one too.>Fuck this and fuck you, I'm doing my own thingYeah, I guess you can, and we'll still check it out on stream if you decide to share it with us. But I recommend sticking to the restrictions. People find they're more creative when there are limitations!>What do I win?A completed project! Other than that, not much. It’s just for fun
>>42997756>>42997770Nope, the thread is for visibility. You have to WAIT. Says so in the FAQPic rel is me for the past 20 mins trying to solve the captcha, sorry for the delayWhile we wait, I was thinking we do a little something together...>>42997737I wanted to do a little trailer for the Jam as a bumper video for the con, since I haven't finished it, we should do it together!The main idea I had was to show around one and a half seconds of EVERY game of the one button Jam (the last one), then various clips of games from past Jams. (The games themselves, not the streams)I was thinking you guys could submit the clips for past games in the thread and we could build the trailer together. (I'm open for any ideas for this).
Bros?? Only 2 joiners? It's over...
>>42997732It's finally jammin time!
Is anyone gonna make a nsfw game? If so, include ass freckles for extra points.
>>42998063>nsfw game>Horror and Edgingwe're having yandere spook sex tonite
>Horror themeNice. I was digging through my hard drive and found another shitty song you faggots can use in your project if you want. It was meant for a pony game I was to lazy to actually make.It's not "traditionally scary" but it was made for a space alien boss battle so I guess that counts as horrorhttps://files.catbox.moe/mdxm8p.m4a
>>42997732aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA TIME IS GOING TOO FAST WHAT THE FUCK
>>42997757mare is for (hor)air
>>42997732>horrorWhat the fuck am I supposed to do with that
>>42998313nice!
>>42998790mare is for scare
Audiencefag bump.The game jams are so much fucking fun to watch, and when they are part of a con they are always a top highlight.Big respect and thanks to all the cool anons who can make fun games for free in their spare time, and to Zaifer for being such an industrious and entertaining host. Even if he can be mean to digital mares sometimes.
I will try to make a game for the first time.
>>43000125Familiarize yourself with an engine and make something super-simple like a Flappy Bird clone before the jam starts.You don't want to be watching basic tutorials constantly or struggling with compile errors at the last minute.
>>43000139What's the best engine if I'm only interested in making 2D games? I tried Unity a while ago but most of the tutorials seemed centered on 3D tools. Is Gamemaker any good?
>>43000150It's purpose-built for 2D and comes with a lot of built-in functions, but tutorials vary wildly in quality and you need a basic level of code knowledge to make it work well. If you know how to code you can choose any of the big names and you'll probably figure it out pretty quickly.If you're not a coder and have to rely on visual scripting, your options are more limited. I'm using Unreal with the PaperZD plugin to moderate success. Godot's system is more complicated and I still haven't figured it out but I like the datascript thingies. I have no idea about the others.
>>43000162Thanks anon I might give it a try then and switch if I'm not feeling it. I'm not looking to make anything very complex.
you're going to keep me in a state of hype for a monthhow you pain medoes anyone want to work together? i'm very good with rpg maker
>>42997732I spot some nawni belly
>>42997732Where's the art prizes for the last game jam?
Hot damn the board is fast todayAlso can any idea guys dump some ideas
>>43002321Rainbow Factory rescue operation (Earth pony or unicorn wanting to save fillies(1+) from the pegasi)
>>43002321Mares at your door
>>43002397this, but you have to find out who is a changeling and gas ze bugz
>>43002321what if you steal my idea?
>>43002524even if we all tried to make the exact same idea, our execution of it would make them completely different games by the end
>>43002321I'm probably going to try making a short Higurashi-type visual novel, not sure how well it will turn out if I only have a month to work on it, but I've been wanting to do it for a long time. If that doesn't work out I'll probably just do something shitposty and stupid.
>>43002397>No I'm not a pony
>>43002867A higu style pony VN is actually a great idea
fuck me, page 9 again
>>43001370I did say I'd drop an album. Here, there's 4 arts missing, but those will be done before the next Jam starts. I wanna use these cards for the trailer I mentioned above. https://catbox.moe/c/1huajxTime Crunch doesn't have wings in a couple but those will be fixed too.
>>43003415Is there a big list or a ponepaste or something with all of the games from the previous jams?
>>43003717https://itch.io/jam/mlp-off-con-game-jam-one-button/entries
>>43003722Awesome, thank you.
>>43002519Do not gas the bugs.Hug the bugs. They're hungry.
>>43004125but they're so scary
>>43004125No, gassing the bugs is an important resource managing mechanic.
>>43003717there's this too but it's also not completehttps://itch.io/c/4098468/pony-games-from-previous-game-jams-click-to-see-all
>>42999432A lightweight scare game like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvCT4pPb0OU could be quite charming. Ponies like being scared in good faith, see Nightmare Night.
What's the demo time slot? Like 10 minutes or so, right?
>>43004270Why did he get a tattoo that says "My Sister's Protractor?"
>>43005619Yup! Though it may vary depending on the game. If it's a 10 second game then it might get less than 10 minutes, unless we have the dev on stream.I want to do the Jitsy chat again but with so many people on stream it might be a little harder, I might just hide it in the itch page when I start streaming, so keep an eye out for that.
Fully ai generated mare games allowed?
>>43008388Probably depends on how you use it. I don't think anyone will fault you for going 100% AI for the graphics, particularly since there's a time crunch (I'm planning on going that route myself). Using it to write some of the code is probably not that big a deal either. If you're talking about literally using AI to shart out an entire game for you, without any human effort being put in at all, that seems like it would violate the spirit of the event and probably result in a mediocre game as well.
>>43008388>You use ai to generate your graphics.>I use ai to generate my code.We are not the same.In all seriousness, although I'm great at drawing and animating and have a passion for games, I'm absolute shite at coding and I have no idea how you guys do it
>>43008705>I have no idea how you guys do itit's a skill you have to learn, just like drawing or animating? not that complicated of a concept
>>43008705it's fine as long as you understand what your ai is shitting out and design most of the logic yourself
>>43008388I think making AI assets is okay, I understand that making a game does require plenty of skills in areas, and people rarely cover them all. But in my opinion, something made by a human will always be better received, so I suggest giving it your best even if you don't think it's of "quality".And for code, just be sure the vibe code runs.
>>42997732So we're not allow to develop this game before Feburary 28th, but are we allowed to have art assets created before hand or is it meant to be 100% created during the time limit?
>>43008388I think anons should try drawing their art themselves! Wobbly mspaint art has a lot of soul
>>42999432>changelings in ponyville trying to cover the local message board with shitposts>some of them being so frighteningly stupid, the average pony faints on sight>Anonymous, most famed Canterlot castle janitor, fearing no man nor mare, gets reassigned to deal with this>the reward: a happy pony thanking (You).>>43010649agreed
>>43004879It is now! Just updated it>>43003717Not really, but I have the links. Here:docs.google.com/document/d/1sw4CZZqXDFXXGPNK_qBs6QmfTLN6f6R5nbGp1awjviM/edit?usp=sharinghttps://itch.io/jam/halloween-mlp-game-jamhttps://itch.io/jam/june-mlp-game-jamhttps://itch.io/jam/marecon-mlp-game-jam-asset-editionhttps://itch.io/jam/mlpcon-game-jam-anons-choicehttps://itch.io/jam/mlp-off-con-game-jam-one-buttonhttps://itch.io/jam/mlp-marecon-game-jam-horror-and-edgeThere was an anon last thread that was offering the equestria gaming where we could centralize all this stuff, keep a backup of the games and the like. It'd be cool to have. If that anon's still here please speak up so we don't lose contact
Thank you to the Anon that's been bumping this thread. It's not normal that we're reaching page 10 in a couple of hours
>>43012933I think there's at least a couple of us bumping. I just like the idea of encouraging more game dev projects in the fandom. Also, bump.
>>42998063Unf butt freckles
I have a very experimental idea but I think it's gonna be a thing people either love or deeply hate. Also is the stream gonna be on YouTube again?
>gonna have to be away from home from late Feb - late March, so no access to my regular PC>laptop is too potato to do dev stuff on itbros...
>>43014604Start a game now, we won't tell!
>>43014560Ey go for it! There'll be plenty of people on stream, I'm sure a good handful will absolutely love what you have in mind.Yes, it'll be on youtube as that is the easiest to stream on cytube. I don't know of any other options that don't constantly make the video buffer. If you have any alternatives, do share.>>43014604This >>43014609. Try to make it in a month if you're absolutely sure you won't be able to participate alongside everyone else. Don't use more than one month! We're going by gentlemen's rules to make it fair for everyone.Reminder: I'm not expecting you to use the full month, so don't bloat your games. The focus is to finish a game WITHIN the deadline, doesn't matter if you use the full month or two days Also, don't wait until the last week to no-life it... Again
>>42998518
>>43014681>Also, don't wait until the last week to no-life it... Again
15 jammers!
>>43015997Time crunch would have WANTED us to crunch time
>>43015997That game was so funny
Is it true the best game of the upcoming jam will win a real mare and a free trip to mare fair?
>>43016567Best I can do is a crisp handshake at Marefair
Just finished making this game. Not sure if it would be able to get in. Maybe? Anyone want to give me feedback on it?https://the-wonderful-miss-pixie.itch.io/pony-fantasies
>>43017226I'd like to apologize if the download says something like the page has been quarantined. Itch does this annoying thing where new accounts get flagged or something and it gets passed after a few days. I made this account specifically to upload this game a couple days ago so that's why this is happening.
Question:Are crossovers allowed?I've had a partially-drafted idea (mostly the mechanics) for a Pony FNaF fan game kicking around for three years now.I'm considering making a version of that for this, as an excuse to do more practice coding (being the degree I'm trying to study for).(Originally wanted to make it as a 3D game, but considering I wouldn't have enough time between assignments to learn 3D modeling and make assets, I'd probably just do a custom 2D rendering engine in Python or something.)
>>43017493If you want to avoid that, instead of setting it as a free download put it in as free with donations accepted. You'll have to set up a way to receive payment and put in personal info for paying taxes, but if you're not actually expecting money it won't affect you much. The personal info request filters out the jeet scammers so you shouldn't run into that problem again.
>>43017226>>43017493Might as well drop mine in here as long as we're shilling other projects:https://glimglam1234.itch.io/twilight-sparkles-magical-crossover-adventure
How do you get games to run in the browser by the way? I've tried but I don't know how to do it.
>>43017551If you use an engine that is set up for it you can just set the option in itch.io when you set up the game page. Renpy, Unity and Godot will compile for web, I know that. But basically anything that has an index.html file in the folder and can be launched in a browser can be uploaded to itch as a play-in-browser game.
My game WILL be using blink 182 tracks.
>>43017226I ran into a bug. I killed the final boss with Luna dead, but the night guard landed the killing blow the next turn. It still showed the game over screen when I beat the boss.I liked the gameplay, though the jokes didn't really land on me. And the reward was a little weirdI get the "pony fantasies" now
>>43017747Spooky....
>>43017496> Are crossovers allowed?I don’t see why not so long as it fits the theme.
Chances of this being the biggest jam yet? Mind you, last time we had off boarders who found the jam randomly on itch.
I already began work on my gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCH_LgoH2wU
>>43018774
Been working on my game since October.... I don't think I'm gonna finish in time.
>>43019435Delete your project and start over from scratch at 4am on the day the jam ends.Guaranteed success.
>>43017496Crossovers are fully allowed. Go wild!
>>43018625Every Jam has been bigger than the last. I know the incremental growth isn't forever, but there's a chance.I don't think any of the devs were offboarders, I talked to a couple of them that I thought could be offboarders. They said they use the board "From time to time"Mind you, the Jam is already hidden and the only real way to find it is to use the board.

>>42997732Which cons are you playing at? I thought mare-con was in liek May.Also if it's 27th to 29th that clashes with FOF I think.
>>43020150Any feedback?
>>43020189I am aiming for marecon. I made the thread beforehand for two reasons: visibility and pone voyage. Last time I made it 2 weeks before and still a bunch of people missed it, so I made it even earlier, and I think a couple of devs are going to pone voyage (I assume they are rich IT guys), they can make their game beforehand and just post it when they come back. So for everyone else that's able to make their game in the given timeframe: WE'RE NOT STARTING YET. This thread is mostly informative.What's FOF?>>43020150Anon 0c0
>>43020150>>43020237>Any feedback?>Blood Sprakle>and now the my actionsWell I haven't played the game yet, but based on what I've seen so far my advice would be to shell out the 12 bucks a month for Grammarly.
>>43020237sorry too busy playing vidya to play your vidya. I'll get back to you when the jam is over.
>>43020150Does this have any dependencies? The program displays a weird error and quits when I try to launch it, pic related.
>>43019764Yay!If I do decide to this, I'll probably use the pre-time this month to figure out how the heck to make a window, render PNGs, and make buttons in Python.
>>43020675Yup, practicing is fine too!
>>43020660https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/run-time-package >Rpgmaker XP must be chosen.That should fix it.
>>43020692cool thank you
Well, I have an idea. Now to figure out how the fuck to execute it.Does anyone familiar with Blender have tutorial recommendations?
>>43021267Not really a specific tutorial rec, but this is how I got out of tutorial hell>find a basic tutorial and get comfortable with basic tools, moving mesh and moving camera (the beginning of donut tutorial, you don't need the rest)>find a more in depth and specific tutorial for a style you want and can realistically learn(low poly? zelda stylized? environment? props? etc)>open up new blend file and get started on the project you actually want to make>get as many references as you can in a style you like (3d models, fanart, etc)>debug problems as they comeSince the jam is due in 2 months, and you're presumably a beginner at blender, you may not have enough time to make a pony, so maybe stick to stuff that doesn't move. I tried to make a pony 3 months in advance for a previous jam many months ago, and it took so much more time than I expected, I'm still not doneIf you want to make a pony anyways, make sure to look up character modeling tutorials so you don't end up with messy topology that messes with deformation, and use plenty of references to make it look good. Though I would suggest using a premade model for this.Low poly and stylized is much more forgiving with messy topology. If you can't find how to do a specific thing, watch timelapses of 3d artists whose style you like to get a general idea of the workflow.Also make sure you understand the import pipeline into your game engine, it's more complicated and finicky than you'd expect
>>43021267>Learning blender from scratch in under a monthGod be with you soldier
>>43022297It doesn't have to look good, low quality jank is great for spookiness. I have a chance!
>>43021267>>43021585You might also want to think about what your actual goals are. Not just "I want to learn Blender," ask yourself "WHY do I want to learn Blender." If your goal is to challenge yourself by learning something technical and difficult then it might be worth the trouble, but if all you want to do is make a game and you don't really care how it works under the hood there are easier ways to go about it.I've tried to learn Blender on multiple occasions and I find the interface way too complicated, plus I am probably the world's shittiest 3D artist so I don't get much out of it. If you just want a 3D engine that can get a simple game up and running in under a month, Unreal is probably your easiest option. Their asset store also gives away free stuff every couple of weeks so you can get a lot of props and useful stuff that way, saves you the hassle of having to make every single thing yourself. The current giveaway has a low-poly cabin environment and some medieval castle stuff that would probably work well for a pony-related game. For the actual pony models I think I've seen youtube tutorials for getting the SFM models and animations exported to other engines.

I released my first devlog for my upcoming game which I'll be releasing for this game jam.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8n19E7HN6g
>>42997732Looking forward to what other Anons have planned for the Jam!
>>43023861So maredare but 2d?
>>43024043Yeah, no. It's not going to be like the MareDare series gameplay wise.
>>42997788>I wanted to do a little trailer for the Jam as a bumper video for the conSounds like fun, but including some funny moments from the streams could be exciting to the audience too.
>>43017551In Unity, at least, when you build the game, you have to change it to compile for web/html and it'll spit out a folder and an "index.html" file. You want to zip both of those up into a zip file, then go to your page on itch where you upload the game. There should be an option called "Kind of project", which you should set to "HTML". Then you just upload the file you zipped earlier and set how it appears under "Embed Options". The HTML setting on itch still allows you to upload standalone .exe downloads by the way.
>>43024232Don't forget to make it like MLG 420 montage.

Huh, for a jam there isn't much streamers lately for the games.
>>43027374???
>>43026157creepybloom :)
>>43021267Update: Blender is complicated and I hate it.
>>43027374That's because we haven't started actually making them yet. The jam starts in about 2 weeks, the stream will be March 29.
I just finished marequest a mare tail and it was very cute. Hope this jam will deliver.
>>43027374I was confised for a second on what you meant, but I think you're the one who's a little confused. The stream won't happen until the last day of the con. The actual Jam starts in two weeks. This thread's only for visibility.[spouler] Unless you meant like... Twitch streamers [/spoiler]
>>43002321I got an idea, I dreamed a game and I thought I might want to try coding it but I'm a total codelet. It goes like this: there are four lanes and you're protecting each lane with like a shield spell and you have to guess correctly from the animation which line the enemy will attack down. I was thinking like a hydra with four heads from that one episode in the Everfree and spitting fireballs at ponies. The downside is, it's not very horror-themed. And if you block successfully, you get your points/meter back. I was thinking like a linear progression of difficulty. My friend said it sounded like a rhythm game.
>>43008826what if I have no training in the logic foundations beyond a couple godot tutorials i followed years ago. should i just write like basic logic blocks first? rtfm aka the documentation?
>>43028969>[spouler]Point and laugh!
>>43028969OH NO NO OP HAHAHAHA
>>43029194Godot has very good documentation, and has a good tutorial for beginners on it if you look in the getting started section. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/For ai coding, I usually do this>pseudo code, write the logic in english first (if pony hits wall, health -1, gets dazed, etc.)>only one small feature at a time, and test as soon as implemented, don't get started on another feature until this one works>git commit when your feature works, and before risky moves>reset to a fresh chat when the llm drifts>keep simple documentation that generally explains your code, file structure and a todo list>always explicitly say you're using godot 4, llms love using outdated code>ask it to explain any line of code you don't understand>optional but try to type out the code you don't understand by hand for learning>If you're getting an issue the llm can't fix, read the docs
>>43028969>[spouler]
Anyone experience any weird bugs for Godot 4.6 or should I stick with well-known 4.5?
>>43030397I didn't get any errors porting my game from 4.5 to 4.6

>>43043404Read one of the basic guides on drawing pones and do at least 20 pony sketches per day. Get started!
>>43042175I think I'm gonna piss myself.
>>43043984I was gonna post that eqg fetish song, but I'd rather not have to listen to it agian. You can just hum it quietly in your head
>>43043056Can you hurry it up? Im excited!
>>43045608Zaifer in TF2 said everyone can start already. Some anons already did. Just get something done.
>>43045721I didn't say that! I just said that I felt some people might've already started. And the only ones I could understand starting early were people like >>43014604
Zaifer in TF2 said that it's my turn on the xbox
>>43045608S O O N
9 days left! You HAVE spent the last month daydreaming about and overscoping your game, haven't you?
>>43047796>mfw I've been in almost every jam and never overscoped my project in any of them
>>43047796I never overscope, I do all my games on the last day, sometimes I manage to make more than just one arcade game.
>>43042175>spoilerwho dat>>43046531fuck that shit, we going gaystation tonight
>>43047796I will make my dreams into reality
Zaifer in TF2 said that he HATES cute mares!
>>43048915After re-watching all of his previous game jams and witnessing him abuse and be mean to several cute mares; I can, unfortunately, corroborate this shocking new evidence.
>>43049119What the FUCK!!!
>>43049119Those mares were agents of evil. You should thank me for bullying them until they cried and the game closed itself (amazing feature on the dev's part btw). My video quality used to be so shit, I don't know how you guys were able to handle it. Now it's improved and will be better, as shown in the previous Jam
>>43049119Zaifer makes abusethreads ucu also he commissions Derpy abuse.
>>43049378based desu I hope we get some more abuse games this jam
>>43049327The very fun times more than made up for any video quality!And I DID re-watch all your game jams, the game shill hour and drawing panels, because all of them are incredibly entertaining and fun.And seeing all the anons' games again was also great!
>>42997737If the mylittlegame.dev guy is here, please reply and/or send me a mail to littlehorseappreciator@proton.me. I'd like to figure something out together. I've got some ideas on how we can make a little game dev community
asking here because why notwhy is MareDare 2 not on hoers sale, Rakan?
>>43051509he is 2iq
>>43051509>>43051730Steam won't let me add a discount to MareDare 2 for the event because I released it within the last 30 days. There's nothing I can do about it.
Can you guys believe it? Game Jam! Just a week away
>>43053647I can't believe it anymore, its been so long. is mare even real?
>>43054411
Joining this. I need to force myself to make small projects before I get invested in another overambitious game that I end up giving up on.
up
>>43053647You mean it ends in a week, or it starts in a week?Yes, I'm a faggot and I can't read OP.
>>43053647>>43056024Nevermind, I managed to pop my fingers out of my ass.The Game Jam starts in 5 days.
Boo!
>>43056561the leaves of that tree are so entrancing
>>43055830
This project might be a bit overambitious for me. I wonder if I should go back to RPG Maker
>>43057353It's up to you, but my personal advice is that if you're on a time crunch it's better to stick with an engine you already know. If you run into huge problems that you can't figure out how to solve, odds are it's going to happen in the last week when your game is 85% done and it's too late to start a new project.
>>43057353It all dependents on one thing. Do (You) have a friend who's willing to help you with the engine or not. You can still do everything following guides and AI by yourself and solve problems with lurking, it's just that it will require more time on the fixing in an unknown environment. Just make more backups and have a fren to help you.
i'm going to tryhard so fuckin hard for this gamejam
>>43057137
So, can I make a game for the game boy?I want to do a bit of C, but I think I won't be able to push enough resources for areal "computer" game if I go the C+Raylib way.
>>43058438Yeah, just tell me if I need to emulate anything ahead of time
>>43057394I know some guys who know Unity/C# better than I do. Are these game jam games really meant to be group projects though?
Just had my first shower of the year. I'm so ready for the jam now.
>>43058796You just made a grave mistake. Ive been saving up my stench for this exact moment, now no one will bother me while I jam
>>43058726It can be solo or in a group. There's no rules for or against it
I have a very weird horror game concept. I hope if it'll work out
up... again
>>43058570If (and that's a big if) I manage to set aside enough time to participate, and if I finally decide to use GB, I will try to provide a web emulator. Apart from that, any GB emulator should work (like bgb or whatever).Thanks to allow these old platforms!
where is the super mario 64 marehackIt better be console compatible so I can make people watch me play it at neighcon and sunshine
>>43057698
Huh... how interesting.I am currently making a game, and it's within the theme but not the scope of the game jam, I've been working on it for bout a year now and still on the fence about wether i wanna make it pony or not... more on the side of "yes" for now but I'm leaving my options open.Hope the the jam goes well, a lot of possible creativity and inspirations to gain from whatever everyone makes for the future.
>>43059030Oooh! Spooky Daringiana Jones crypt adventures?Crazy Daring/Dash identity horror?Don't tell me! I wanna be surprised!
