Holiday Developer Game Jam 2020!

How do we know with my team if we are accepted? And if we are, how do we submit our game? (asking for future)

Edit:

Nevermind, just found this.

Good luck to everyone!

Do you get an avatar item for participating?

Also, where do we submit our games to?

Hey @Christmas_Treasure, really excited for this! One quick question: If we hired someone for a minor contribution to the game during the development process, say a GFX artist for example, would we be disqualified from the competition?

Can you still enter right now? Its December 5th 8:04 PM in my time. The form is also still open

Yup, you can! Until 11:59 Pm PST.

As long as you don’t have over 6 people it’s ok.

can you invite more people after you submitted the form?

You can not change your survey.

I have a few questions!
Are we allowed to use our own premade models?

Are we allowed to use free decals from the toolbox?

Has it already started or do we have to wait for some sort of an announcement/message first?

@Christmas_Treasure Could you please give us a little more detail on the party with the Dev team?
Highly not likely, but are we going somewhere or is it a zoom party (more likely)?

Question.
When the gamejam is over how will they test / view the games we created?. They dont have a link to any of our games. to my knowledge
Will they release a new survey to fill out with the gamelink team and the same information as the first survey they posted to enter the gamejam?.

Hi! Is it possible I can still participate? I won’t be having a team but I hadn’t seen this post up until now.

I know I missed the deadline by 3 days though so it might not be possible ;(

Hi, @Christmas_Treasure! I have a couple questions.

  1. Are we allowed to commission people for assets to use in our games, without officially enrolling them into the group?
    example: commissioning a modeler or a gfx artist to make an asset
  2. What does the “Participation Certificate” look like? (just curious)

As stated above in the FAQ’s, it said that they’ll release a survey where teams may enter in their submissions when the time comes. Now, looking back on the event dates saying it’ll close in the 30th, I bet it’s gonna be posted a day or more before that. Futhermore, think the games will be reviewed after the 30th of December up to January 7 since it’ll be announced at 8. However, don’t rely on my preference, I’m no staff member, just sharing my understanding of the thread.

Where should we SUBMIT our game? Will it be available after 30th December as a form?

@Christmas_Treasure I was wondering the same thing! Hope you can get back to this reply!
