new too your game jam,  what does the wowie vote mean?

Host

It is the "Overall Score"

(1 edit)

Jonas, does my game have to be a downloadable executable or can I have it on a web page? (And I don't mean uploading the html file, because my game is going to be made in a way in which you can only get through it by going through a series of pages, which will be uploaded on a website.)

Host

As long as you can submit it here on itch so everybody can find it and vote, it's fine with me. How many people will go test it is a different question I can't answer. Find out if you want. :)

I think I might be able to just upload an html file with the link written on it, should work.

Hey Jonas! I was wondering, can I use any of the Unity Learn base projects, such as Unity Playground or FPS Micro Game?

Host

Of course!

Submitted

If i want to collab with my friend in wowie jam

Does one of us join the jam? or is it okay for us to just join? 

Host

You can both join. One of you submits the game and adds the other as a collaborator. That way both of your itch accounts will show up as the creators and you'll both be able to rate other games. :)

"I have an 11 yr old daughter who will be entering as well. It's our weekend project. 

Can I enter two games under my own account? One being mine and one being hers."

This is a question from someone else but it was not on here and I also wanna know if you can have two games submitted to the jam so yea :) 

( I'll tell him when I get the answer )

(1 edit) (+1)

I'm not sure, but wouldn't it be more efficient to make her an account?

Host

Not entirely sure either... I guess try it out and make a 2nd account if you have to. :)

Does age matter? I mean I'm still a kid but I know how to program. I use gamemaker studio, but the first one not the second. Is that a problem? I am participating with a friend. Edit: The post above asks a similar question lol Edit: I cant spell gamemaker lol already 4 edits

Im pretty sure since Im still a kid

Submitted(+1)

I hope so, I am still learning game dev but I love it!

Host

It's fine with me. Just note that Itch and Discord both have a minimum age of 13 as specified their terms of use. :)

Submitted

Thanks!

Submitted

I can barely make a game in a week let alone 3 days, should I still just give it a go?

Yeah of course! Even if you don't finish it it will be a fun project!

Host

You can do it!!! :)

Submitted

can u provide me with the link of your texture maker for linux as i am on linux and also as i am pretty bad at art and visual it would be awesome to get premade textures

Host

No. Don't have a Linux version. Sorry. :)

Submitted

No Problem! ill do My Work With Plane textures or make one myself

Wassup Jonas this will be my first game jam also thanks for inspiring me to become a game dev (well at least attempting to become a game dev).

Host

Neeeat. Best of luck! Hope you enjoy the jam! :)

Jonas, due to the nature of my game, I need to upload it on a different website and then have it linked on itch.io, is this okay or dissallowed?

Host

It's fine with me. Maybe see if itch itself has any rules about that, but I think it should be okay. 

Submitted

Any tips on getting to the top 25?

Host

Take a risk with your idea, make a very simple game so you can make it way more polished than everybody else, have a tutorial that is not just a wall of text. There you go. :D

Submitted

thank you very much!

Submitted

where can we post our progress during the jam?

Host

Either on Discord (link on jam page) or on Twitter with #WowieJam3 :)

Submitted

thanks

(+1)

Can I use Scratch?

(+2)

Obviously! you can even use super mario make for the 2DS! (i actaully don't know if you can use mario maker)

Submitted(+2)

I might try that!

Submitted(+1)

I heard there's some tools you can use to change an SB3 file into an EXE file, so sure!

how on earth are there already 2 submissions

Host(+1)

Most likely some people who think this is a free advertisement event for their game. I'll make sure to remove any super obvious entries like that.

Wait, where exactly do you view how many submissions there are?

(1 edit)

Am I allowed to use a sound bite of you yelling "WOWIEEEE" in my game? (I wanna slow it down by orders of magnitude to make some ambient noise.)

Host

Of course. You can also use the original if you want to. Np.

Jonas I am not going to explain myself but do I have the legal rights to use you in my game?

Host

You hereby have my permission which I think should therefore give you the legal rights to do that, yes.

Is it fine if I do that too?

Host

Yes, I really don't mind.
