Guys... believe me... I might have guessed the last two already... Seems possible to be Retro Gaming and Transform... However... Im gonna have to guess more for the first one...

Shaun is a life saver for almost everything! Check this tutorial out. It helped me and so can you!If it is retro gaming and transform, I came up with a fantastic idea, but I don't think I have the skills to do it. I've never programmed a plat-former. (Or at least, one that worked).
Exactly! I just got this new idea of a game and I so want to try it out, but I'm holding it for the jam.Trying so hard to avoid working on any new ideas at all in case one ends up being perfect for whatever the theme will be... This is like torture!
Won't type the hypeWHERE IS YOUR HYPE, EVERYONE!?!
Welcome! If you're a forum member, you can join, simple as that. Once the jam starts there'll be a games topic where make a post, that'll be your entry.Do I have to do a vlog while I make the game or can I skip that bit? I have practically no vlogging personality and vlogging would distract me from programming. Also, am I even eligible? If so, do I just follow the thread and wait for the details of the competition to be released? Is there anything I'm likely missing as someone not familiar with the forum?
Thanks in advance.
As long as you mention what was made beforehand it's pretty much up to you and what you think is fair. Like you said, the more you make during the jam the better but if you've got a few code snippets that you don't want to rewrite all over again then I don't think anyone minds. At least I wouldn't.Basically, what parts of the project have to be from during the jam?

Technically speaking, you can have any part of the project done before the Jam, but you must tell which parts were made before and include proper credits (as well as make sure you have rights to use the assets), so that people are able to rate it fairly. It applies to code as much as to sprites or sounds or music or whatever.I do have a question. How much of the code needs to be done during the time of the jam? I know obviously that the bulk of it should be done during the jam, otherwise it would be very unfair, but what if I have a player movement script or a screen scaling script? Can I use that? More in depth: can I copy it with copy paste, copy it by looking and rewriting, or rewrite it from memory? Obviously you can't prevent someone from coding it from memory, because otherwise you can't code anything at all.

Yes however I wouldn't rely on it too heavily if I were you. It could be a while before somebody gets back to you and that could really kill your flow during one of these jams.Can we ask code-related questions in the programming section of the forum during the jam?
is the use of paid marketplace asset allowed ?using free Marketplace assets seems like the most "fair" use of premade code,
Yes, it is. Of course, you need to mention it in credits or something similar (which applies to free assets as well).is the use of paid marketplace asset allowed ?
Unless you share the source code, nothing should stop you from using paid Marketplace assets in your Jam game. But it would be a less fair use of premade code, for it might not be available for use by everybody else.is the use of paid marketplace asset allowed ?
Yes, you can. But a response might take some time, ranging from a few minutes to hours, depending on the complexity of the question and user activity in the forum. So it might be a better idea to try simpler things (or try to do complex things in a simpler way, for that matter) instead of relying on the forum for your programming needs. Of course, if you get stuck, then you can post a topic and look into doing other things until you get a response.Can we ask code-related questions in the programming section of the forum during the jam?
Also, remember that during the Jam there is a higher probability of users being busy focusing on the Jam itself, so less questions are probably going to get answered, thus heightening the probability of your question going unanswered in an usable timeframe.Can we ask code-related questions in the programming section of the forum during the jam?

That's better than anything I could come up with.What about "DEAL WITH CONSEQUENCES" or "PLAY WITH CONSEQUENCES" for the first one?

So, no more letter reveals, but what about revealing spaces? Or maybe just telling how many words all three themes together contain, like last jam?The last letter reveal before the theme voting.

I'm working on a Java-based offline asset library organizer for GM:S (1.4, 2 will come in the future, when I get it). I guess I can offer that to the top 10 entries ([if and] when it is finished).It's true there aren't many community prizes as of now, but you people still have time to fix it, I guess?
