can the road trip game be based on apocalypse now/heart of darkness?

Jam Host

As long as it's a road trip with aspects of a road trip, doesn't involve any copyrighted stuff, and follows the rules of the game jam, I don't see anything wrong with taking inspiration from other media as long as you're not full-on copying it.

can you work on 2 projects one a solo and one a collab

HostSubmitted

as stated in the faq, yes

yay thank you :D

Are we allowed to use plugins? For example using Dialogic 2 - a plugin used for dialogues or do we have to write all the code ourselves i.e writing a dialogue system from the ground up.

HostSubmitted

You can use plugins

Can i use AI to help make this

Bye.

Are games which occur throughout the span of a trip but not actually in the vehicle like Super Mario odyssey allowed?

HostSubmitted

It needs to involve a vehicle! Some parts can exclude the vehicle, but it needs to be there.

Hi! I am totally new to game dev(and itch.io overall) but want to take part and not have much experience will it be fine as I would love to take part in this(so that i could learn and have fun)? Thanks a lot for any feedback!!

Jam Host

Experience isn't required! Just be sure to read the rules on the main page and have fun!

How about the whole Americana and Canadiana of Hobo culture, where jumping freight trains is integral to the ethos of a road trip, as it is with punx?

can you use music from other games or at least use them as inspiration

HostSubmitted

we don’t want to get into legal trouble, so the music needs to be either original or from an asset pack/free music site

Are we allowed to use Unity templates as a base?

HostSubmitted

I’m not familiar with Unity templates, but if it’s not genAI and the creators allow you to use it, I don’t see an issue

Cool I figured. Thanks for hosting!

Will the mods promote the games online?

HostSubmitted

we’re promoting the whole jam. with the amount of participants, promoting all the games would be a hard task.

oh ok

Only because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on the FAQ or on this forum, but do game authors retain the rights to their submissions?

HostSubmitted(+1)

yeah of course! i could not imagine otherwise

Thank you for your quick reply!

Hey! I have a question about the road trip theme - does it have to take place DURING the road trip or can it be like a  game about packing for a road trip?

HostSubmitted

Needs to be during a road trip

can there be parts in the game where you play as another character having a road trip but like having  them all connected

HostSubmitted

yeah

yeah

is it allowed to make the game a web game?

HostSubmitted

yep

Can scratch (The game engine) be used? 🙃

HostSubmitted

Hello. I would love to get involved with a game to do sound design and music for! Are there any games currently needing this? My portfolio is here: samueltosto.com. Also, is this jam completely online or is it in person?

HostSubmitted

You could make a thread offering your services!

This jam is online only

Great! What should I include in the thread that will get peoples' attention here? I really need to get on a game.

the game need be chill?

HostSubmitted

This has been answered before. No, you can make whatever you want, as long as it has a road trip

Hi there, I'm new to all this (not gaming, been into that since Pong on the Atari and now VR/MR!) and am a published UK musician and composer. I'm looking to get into creating game music, and it's been suggested that Game Dev jams would be a great way for me to get some real experience and examples in this area.  If there's any music I can contribute to this, please let me know how I go about creating what's needed, or providing it for this game dev jam.  I have plenty of ready made bits and also can knock bits up quickly in my home studio. Here's my YouTube link in case there's anything that would be good to use (please ask me if so and I'll send the proper files, rather than ripping anything off) :) Woop! Good luck, ThunderBird

I would love to participate in the Game Jam, but also, I won't, because before I even join, I was already treated badly for a simple question, while other users had an appropriate treatment/response. I don't like to hold grudges, and neither am I, but I haven't seen anything saying about "can the game be calm?" other than my question. At this point, my question is deleted FOR SOME REASON.

the print is before delete
