You can use all music as long as the license of the song allows it. Leave credit somewhere to the artists. Newgrounds is a terrific source for free music.Can we use music from the marketplace or free to use music from youtube or does it have to be made by us?
I'm very new in the community so maybe this question is already answered somewhere and I just can't find it.
Also hello everyone !
Yes, you can.In the rules in the game topic, it says "you may create one post per entry", so does that mean you can submit more than one entry?
Thanks!You can use all music as long as the license of the song allows it. Leave credit somewhere to the artists. Newgrounds is a terrific source for free music.
Yes, you can.
In the past, some people made one "main" entry and one small/joke entry. It's not as frequent anymore, but you're still welcome to make multiple entries.
(obviously, spreading time over multiple entries means that you won't be able to commit as much time to the single entry, which is probably most natural reason why people tend to stick to the single entry)
M There is a time clock at the top of this post.I hate figuring out different time zones
The countdown clock (https://danjohnston.uk/gmcjam/) has the absolute time left until the deadline, so you don't need to know time zonesI hate figuring out different time zones
You might have to private message Dan with a link to your game. I think they restrict your posting priveledges with new users?Ok the jam is almost over and I see this next to my post:

I didnt know that, Good to knowAlso, for the sake of our internet connection and the planet, please make sure to use the appropriate soundtrack compression options.
Right now, your file has 125MB according to itch.io. While maybe sometimes this huge filesize is a result of assets having objectively that much information, in most cases it's because of forgetting to pick the correct audio compression option (it happened to me, too).

So please go through all your background music resources (leave SFX as-is) and in "Attributes", choose the Uncompress on Load - Not Streamed. With that your BGM should weight much less in the exported file.
Happy jamming, will check your game once submission period is over. ^^
