zi11ion Posted May 30, 2017 This will be my first jam. The most first of jams. I put up some of my participatory info up on the LFG thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngryGiant Posted May 31, 2017 Hi all, first time Wizard Jammer here! I loved watching the stream of the last jam's games being played, and am excited to participate in this one! A little confused on the timing for this though, seeing two different dates?: Friday 2nd June - Sunday 22nd June Tomorrow (6/1/2017) at 7:00 PM to June 18th 2017 at 6:59 PM (Assuming this is correct?) Will probably be streaming at least some of my development on this, feel free to stop by: https://www.twitch.tv/reallyangrygiant Let's make some awesome stuff guys!

Both sources I just checked (the forum description and the first page of this topic) said 2nd-18th. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from getting started a day early, and as long as you get a submission in in time nothing stopping you from continuing work on the project afterwards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dinosaursssssss Posted May 31, 2017 The confusion is probably time zone related; I think technically the jam page opens at 12 am at +12 GMT? Anyway unrelated, International Love Ultimatum 3 aka iluJam is also running all of June, so consider making a visual novel and submitting to both! https://itch.io/jam/ilujam3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coaxmetal Posted May 31, 2017 Oh no! THis is fantastic but I just started a new job. Maybe I can find a team, but also, I've never done any gamedev. Or, not this kind. I've worked on a server backend for a networked mobile game, but that's not very transferrable to user-facing game work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mastersmith98 Posted June 1, 2017 Hey folks! I've been a long time listener, but this is my first time interacting with the community and I'm excited to get jamming! I am not actively looking for a team, but I would like to make myself available for any programming support or feedback any folks need. I am experienced in UE4, but this jam I'll be cutting my teeth on Unity. Feel free to hit me up on Discord (mastersmith98#8686) or on these forums. I commonly hang out in the Game Dev League and the Unreal Slackers Discord chats, and I just got into the Thumbs channel. Best of luck to everyone and I look forward to seeing what everyone produces!

zerofiftyone Posted June 1, 2017 It's just gone midnight here in GMT land, so it's officially time to jam! Looking forward to seeing all of the new devlog threads as people get started. Here is the list of diversifiers! As I said on the first post, the diversifiers are an optional challenge for the jam. They're creative prompts, designed to help you design a game around a specific limitation (or set of limitations). You can choose as many (or as few) as you like and incorporate them into your game. "2D's company, 3D's a crowd" - Make a 3D game using only 2D graphics. Limited Vocabulary - Limit your player's verbs (run, jump, punch) to just one! Make a game that explores that verb to its fullest. "You Just Played Yourself 🔑" - Make a game where you play against yourself, or a game where your past movements or actions are important in some way. Hoisted - The game conspires to destroy the player in some way; or the game allows the player to be the cause of their own undoing. Texture Thrift - Use the same art/prop asset as many times as possible in your game, whilst obscuring the fact you are doing this. Frug Froctions - Include another, entirely separate game inside your game. Also, now is probably a good time to mention: for Wizard Jam 5, we're trying something new! After the jam finishes, we'll be hosting a Showcase Weekend; an opportunity for everybody to step back from the game making process and look at what everyone else has made; with an emphasis on giving feedback and comments to fellow creators. It's covered in the schedule below, and there'll be more details to follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henke Posted June 2, 2017 Great trailer! Amazing production values. UHHH, QUESTION: I'm thinking about making a VR version of my WizJam game from last year "In Search Of Paradise". Would that be an acceptable entry in this Jam, or would it be regarded as kind of a dick move to just update an old game and try to sneak it in again?

Mythalore Posted June 2, 2017 @Henke As long as you up the texture resolution enough to match the graphical advancements of the games industry over the past year that it's fine by me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as you make it so that the A of the logo flips upside down dramatically in the title screen to reveal "In Search of P∀Radise". Nah, it's cool. Go for it.

fraig Posted June 3, 2017 Hi. As Gil Scott-Heron once said - I'm New Here. Started listening to Idle Thumbs a few years ago, big fan of Important If True. But, new to the forum. Hoping to create something in the next 2 weeks. I'm a web designer (and a bit of a coder) by trade, but started experimenting with Unity in January after a friend told me it was free. Probably going to cheat a bit, and use a few tutorials to cobble something together, but for me the fun part will be creating assets. Looking forward to getting some crit, and seeing what everyone else is up to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
