Welcome back for 2021!  This is  the traditional sticky thread to share your progress throughout the jam.  You can also use the hashtag #FFSjam on Twitter, or share in the Progress channel of the jam Discord (invite link is HERE). Feel free to post screenshots and videos of your progress once you get going, or even post what you have now as a starting point. If you're not sure how to host music, videos or images then you some starting ideas are:  YouTube for videos, Imgur for pictures and SoundCloud for audio.

Hello, I have teamed up with speak23 for this game jam. Both of us are intermediate python coders who use pygame library. I will make the art, but we need a good music producer for the game we will be  making. Anyone who is interested please reply. Good luck to everyone!

Hello everyone,

this will be my first jam.   I always have a lot of game ideas I never finish . I recently started to work on a card game and I hope this jam keeps me motivated to at least implement an early prototype.

This is what it looks like so far:

Good luck to everyone and  happy holidays!

if you want to get into games with at least 2d graphics, i would suggest a public game engine, such as Unity. Unity is a good game engine for people of all ranges of skill, while also having options for 3d or 2d games, which can be built as a downloadable, or an embed for a website. depending on your creativity and skill when it comes to C#, you can make games using Soft-body physics, Rigid-body physics, gravity, VR, and with enough effort, Non-Euclidean games. if you dont know what that means, then i would suggest this video by CodeParade

@Sarainia Thank you soo much! I'm struggling so hard with the graphics, because I'm a dev, not a graphic genious...I don't get much feedback on apps/websites either, but I think the most important thing is, that you have fun while coding/creating and learn something new every day :) So keep it up!


@DiamondGames2020 For me, personally, unity was too much as a beginner. I'm a web developer and all the tools and UI were too complicated to concentrate on my game itself. I recommend simple HTML+Javascript+CSS for a total beginner. Maybe in combination with PhaserJS.

Yeah, i get that. when i first started it was a little overwhelming, but i also had tutorials on youtube to help me with that.

wowie so cool

I remember a while ago there was a jam that had the theme multiple genres and it had the theme multiple genres and I had the idea that I could make a game that is a mix between a typing game and a topdown shooter where you have to press a random button on the keyboard to shoot but I missed it so I made the game a little bit and then I stopped because I found a bug. But then this years mix and jam had the same theme but I was doing game off so I wasn't able to do it. So im going to make that game for this jam and found some good tools including the ones here, and ive started remaking the game. I hope im able to make it better this time.

My origin prototype got released in december of 2018 with the motivation "wanting to get it released before 2019 starts", to be exact also with reference to christmas, so I guess the date got fixed for 23.12.2018 there. Later I've started 2 additional versions, fused them and designed more features within each of them (still wasn't suiting as I was expecting them, so I combined a third version with both of them and it's approx. similar to what I was planning to share). It's about groceries, farming, animals.

The first game's type were some type of supermarket and funny roles for players like "cashier" / "restock manager" / "security guard" / etc. wit drag&drop-attributes, while this thought got combined with the suggestion of urban-exploring, which got inspired by a pal.

So I've kept on coding and my first game got released (first platform stopped supporting webgames, second one replied that my game being too textbased, a third one didn't reply and a fourth one was even more graphical-based), my game will get some sequels as file-uploads while even including parts that I like in movies: timeloops. Anything that sounds surreal and looks cool as effects, just texting those lines than scripting them visually.

The latest release being also published about xmas and end of 2020, while in that case especially on a date that refers to the guy which inspired me to include urbex-parts. I'm also planning at least one sequel with references to its origin game, while another suggestion came in mind: coding a game about pollution and litter, getting rid of waste and featuring minimalism.

Probably if this jam exists for 2022, maybe my sequel getting published or I'm still on re-designing it for the perfect shape, banner or title.

If I'm planning a game, it's possibly first the coding and if every path could be reached, also expecting the player either clicking any inch or just spotting the right moment. Titles getting adding when completing my game, same for the banner & just the description/control-keys staying similar there.

I am currently working on a sudoku game, and here is a screenshot for the fifth level of this game. And I would like to share this game's demo through this jam. Thanks, much love for you all.

Hello everyone! i really like the idea of this jam. I will be finishing a game I started for another game jam that lasted about 12 days. The game is in a prototype state but needs lots of work. Its playable in its current state.

ninneko.itch.io/otaku-quiz

I will try to do some character animations but I might be looking for a musican who can do some lo-fi game show sounding music.

sounds great

I plan on finishing up my game "out of my mind" I made for the GTMK Jam, which was extremely rushed and I made it  5 months ago when I was pretty new to game dev.

I just checked my project files, and I'm having second thoughts about continuing, and instead choosing a different more recent projects. I don't really like the mechanics of that game and any new ideas I have don't relate to that game besides aesthetics. Maybe I might come up with something before the jam starts. Hopefully...

(+2)

I have made some progress since the jam began, I made the basic movement, although it's not complete yet. I also made a tileset for the game, but as you can see I made a few errors on the road pieces.

Submitted(+1)

I really like this art style!

Thanks!

I just want say, I over scoped. So originally the game was gonna be a wave shooter, but I had the "epic" idea to make into a roguelike. I have never made a roguelike before, so I ended up spending most of my time learning instead of making. I recently joined the BlackThornProd Jam, and I went for my original idea of wave shooter and it's turning out so much better. I'm gonna probably gonna keep working later on the roguelike I'm making, but only as a learning project instead.

This is my first game jam and it seemed to fit me perfectly. I've always had problems finishing what i started. I recently started a game where you build civilisations on small planets. You start on one planet and after a while, you can expand to the next. I don't have the whole idea yet but i have my hopes up. I've been a part-time game developer for over one year now, and my skills are not that good, so I don't think one month is enough to finish the first version.

I remember hearing  once that, if your MVP(Minimal viable product) can't be finished in a month, you're probably doing it wrong(Believe it was a Youtube channel called "Extra Credits"). Working on graphics, or expanding mechanics, or adding music, etc. It's okay if you don't want to release your game without polish or nice a nice art style or such. But it's important that you get a jist of your scope, and can see your core machanics in action, before anything else. It's even okay to decide at that point that you don't like your game at that point, because you will have learned something, and gained new skills from the experience. Fail faster, and you will see improvement.

I'm learning Heaps.io working on Deepnight's gamebase and Pixel Frog's Pixel Adventure to recreate a puzzle game very much similar to the demo in his Itch page.
Can I submit it or it's too derivative?

I think if you make all that clear then there's no issue. It's fine to use this jam as a learning experience. The rules are some of the most relaxed around,  to help people at all different levels and stages in their process

First big project!

Still lots of work though

Really like the colors and the    simplicity!

Thanks alot

I'm gonna be trying to make something out of my FPS Prototype  I already have a downloadable version that I made before finding out about this jam: https://null3d.itch.io/fps-game-prototype

Im trying to make a 2D game, not much progress so far so there is no point in adding a photo

Hello all!

  • Last year I challenged myself to release my first game on Steam in 1 year, and I did it yay!
  • For this jam my goal is to finish a PROTOTYPE of my 2021 project game!  I will also release this game on Steam by December :D
    • It was such an awesome learning experience, so I want to do it again and make an even better game!
    • It is a more ambitious idea than my first game, but I think I've gotten the skills to do it now.
    • Check out my YouTube where I post Devlogs about making my games:  https://www.youtube.com/neatgames
  • New Game is named HEATSEED!
    • This will be a Farming-RPG set in a magical world where there are Heatseeds that power steam engines :D (Think  more simple Stardew+Magic+Steampower)

Yo Bro, your Super Neat Cat game looks great man, and also all your devlogs are inspiring!  Looking forward to your prototype!

Gonna be working on making a vertical slice demo for my roguelike Runelite!  Currently its missing some systems such as character progression, some things are too generic such as equipment, and I'd like to add a boss to end it with too. 

Submitted(+1)

Looks cool!

sadly I've  only got the idea so there's not much to show

Hope you're still at it. Whether or not your idea turns out well, I hope you learn from it and grow!

I'm trying to finish the unity tutorials to be able to code for a downscroller adventure game. I'm hoping that I can get it in time. It's not my first jam, but it IS my first time coding with C# hence the tutorial training.  My main goal is to get it mostly done by February. Once college is over next year, I'm going back for a programming degree to help with learning coding for professional use... God-willing!

(+2)

One of the problems I'm facing is deciding which game to finish! I actually have it down to 2. One of them you use arrows to complete levels, and the other is also a NES-inspired platformer, but you're unable to jump or fall from heights. However you're able to summon blocks to help you get around.


Submitted(+1)

Go with the blocks one bro! That seems like an interesting mechanic!  Looking forward to reviewing your games!

One part of the game is done but still barebones :


Much more to come
