get ready for lewd

First for why is the OP full of junk

Vote

poal.me/zgy746
poal.me/zgy746
poal.me/zgy746

Get ready for 2 fucking submissions

NEW /agdg/ JAM POLL :

poal.me/zgy746
poal.me/zgy746
poal.me/zgy746

You are free to vote for more than one Jam.
You are free to add your own Jam idea. Just keep in mind you cannot edit it afterwards.

------------------------

Let's expand on what the Lewd Jam should be...

poal.me/idgj71
poal.me/idgj71
poal.me/idgj71

(THIS IS A SUB-POLL. MAIN POLL IS STILL: poal.me/zgy746)

it's not hard to set up something that makes it pretty effortless

Can't wait to C O L L A B!

second for stop neutering the OP faggots. leave it the way it is.

FUCK
OFF
YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO MAKE GAMES FOR WHATEVER WINS JUST LIKE LAST TIME
AND THE TIME BEFORE
AND THE TIME BEFORE THAT

Okay, so, looking at the poll there are basically five favourites.

So how about this jam we do a "combine two of the following"-jam?

Cause it's obvious that Lewd, Space, Collab, Stealth and Queen are the favourites.

>Let's expand on what the Lewd Jam should be...
>poal.me/idgj71
Good move. If we can come up with a good "lewd" Jam then we might make it worthwhile, as just "lewd" is bound to fail.

>doing a lewd jam right after a waifu jam

What is even the point

>my face when that salty as fuck option added to lewd jam poll

NO
ONE FUCKING THEME

O N E
N
E

It's too early to decide. I'd say let's keep these two polls poal.me/zgy746 poal.me/idgj71 alive a little longer and see how it goes first. It's not even been a few hours. Don't rush it. Be patient.

I agree. I like lewd and all but if this will happen it would be better for it to be at least a couple of months after WJ

waifus are pure

if we're going to feature a musician in the OP it should at least be someone from AGDG

"accepting the inevitability of death jam" is rising quickly, though.

>Queen jam
Why? Have you missed the deadline for waifu jam or something? It might be a good idea, but I think this theme is exhausted for now.

How about a "don't even bother making a stupid shitty jam that literally no one will make shit for" jam?

I dont see the point in making it narrower than just lewd when you can make any kind of lewd game, why restrict it to something like aliens or queens? just make the lewd game about what you want to

First round: Random pairing for those who enter
Second round: re-roll for incompatible or missing
Third round: open collab for needing/wanting more people, etc

Collab jam YES!

Just do a runoff poll like everyone else.

Also, I voted Space Jam solely because of the name.

Enough [female] jams. Let's get something fucking manly.

>No one made waifu games due to no art
>Somehow people will make lewd games that require even more art

k

Anime shitposters.

They don't even plan to make games, yet they still feel entitled to vote, multiple times even.

Real poll here
poal.me/7gdccb
poal.me/7gdccb
poal.me/7gdccb
poal.me/7gdccb

some planets from my procedural generator using a 64-bit seed

MFW when I offered to art for waifu jams and no one accepted

Cool! How does it work?

>Needing a jam to just like make game

How is lewd jam any different from waifu jam?

Honestly all the people voting for lewd are just nodevs who want porn games. Can we actually see some games that aren't pointless bullshit this time?

NMS killer in the works.

> Waifu Jam finished, go play some games!
>itch.io/jam/wj2016

>7 submissions
And how many are barely functioning pieces of concept?


Lewd is funny, but it will be a failure lads. There's simply no question about it. Drop the idea.

DINOSAUR JAM.

Neat as fucc. They need atmospheres (besides clouds), though.

What kind of game is it going to be?

oh man lewd is just dominating now

Vote for guro. You can do manly things like cracking open some skulls

poal.me/idgj71
poal.me/idgj71
poal.me/idgj71
poal.me/idgj71

thats the future of every agdg jam

There was the same problem with waifus.
A theme is meant to restrict the possibilities in order to give direction. Something as broad as "have a cute girl/character" or "have a queen" or "have it be lewd", like these shitty Ludum Dares about "You Are The Monster/Villain" and whatever, it's cosmetic and meaningless. It imposes nothing.
And if your theme imposes nothing, then it's not a good theme.

Lewd is obviously going to win because most of the people who browse this general are not interesting in game development.

I say we make our own serious gamejam and ignore the failure waiting to happen that is lewd jam.

>tfw the jam themes are never about gameplay

...

>lewd /srg/jam

It's Unity.

The planet is the base - it's just a low-poly approximation of a sphere. I wrote a custom PRNG based on Mersenne twister for this. The textures for the planet are based on perlin noise, with a randomly generated gradient that tries to pick colours that look "nice" together.

Then there's an atmosphere layer which uses random colours but mixes them with white so they're paler than the surface of the planet. They also have random alpha which is used with alpha testing to create the "clouds".

The rings are created like atmosphere, they have a basic 1D texture with alpha to create "gaps". The clouds and the rings have a chance of not being created for more variety.

Yeah I thought about more noticeable atmosphere but it ends up hiding the surface of the planet. I could make it appear only on the edges, maybe.

It's for a Star Trek sort of party-based exploration game I'm trying to create.

Interested*

The swirly shit is the atmosphere

It doesn't really make sense to have clouds on top of the swirlies.

I forgot to edit my gameplay jam entry to be "Gameplay jam, no art beyond basic shapes only"

oh well

Poll user here again who posted all these polls (I said I was leaving but not just yet).

I think Lewd Jam should just be erased if too many people are against it. The argument of making your game lewd no matter the topic is correct and so far as the sub poll showed here : poal.me/idgj71 no one really gave anything worth while to make it work.

Either way, this is just my opinion. As stated earlier we should let the polls roll for a while longer as it's only been a few hours. NEXT THREAD, if people are up for it, I shall make ANOTHER POLL with only the top choices people seem to want and erase the less desired/trolls choices; this time without allowing to add new Jam ideas.

Do whatever the fuck you like, I'm going to submit my game regardless of the theme. Should've waited after DemoDay to start hyping people up about jams seeing how all them turn out be a floundering mess when Demo Day is around the corner.

Because this way you get to come up with the gameplay yourself! Isn't than F-U-N?

Is there online version of Audacity somwhere?

who wants to collab on a lewd stealth queen game in space for /srg/ to run

I think people are only voting for the lewd jam because people are getting so EXTREMELY buttflustered over it.

How about code generated art only (shapes, ascii and so on).

Then more people can join in because they don't need to art.

...

That's... actually a good idea.
>NO JUICE
>GAMEPLAY ONLY
>FINAL DESTINATION

sure, just anything to give /agdg/ a chance at life.

How do I git gut at Godot?

>inb4 watch tutorials
I did watch them, and learned some basic stuff, but I still have problems understanding how whole thing works.

Who do I throw money at to make Godot more fucktard-friendly?

TWO JAMS SIDE BY SIDE. A LEWD JAM, AND THE ONE CHOSEN HERE:

poal.me/wyemmi
poal.me/wyemmi
poal.me/wyemmi

Copied and pasted all the ones that weren't blatantly shitposty, and turned off user added options so we don't just get Lewd Jam re-added.

Vote your little hearts out. Let the lewdposters sit around and wait for the one person who participates in their jam to turn in his half-finished crap game.

We gonna show these nerds how a real jam works m8?

stop posting dumb polls retard, poll user suggested to wait until next thread for this

...

>Gameplay jam wins this one
>It's Lewd vs Gameplay
>Lewd wins
>AGDG proves once again no one here is actually making video games

This place is shit
>last jam was a failure
>the one before was a failure
>the one before that was a failure
>HEY GUYS LET'S MAKE A NEW JAM WITH 5 DIFFERENT THEMES!!!!

Has there ever been a game based on the story of Odysseus? Or really any Greek mythology that wasn't God of War?

>tfw so bad at art you don't even get satisfied with the shape after you traced shit
WHY. WHY DOES THIS LOOK SO MUCH WORSE?

Does anyone know how I can learn art? I'm programmatically minded. This 'look at thing and see what to do to make it look better' doesn't work.

I look at this and just see 'bad'. I don't know what to do.

>guro
>blatantly shitposty
I'm offended.

This always pisses me off.
A good jam theme INSPIRES GAMEPLAY.
You know what's a good theme?
"Switch", for example.
>Switch characters
>Switch worlds/dimensions
>Actual switches used in puzzles
>Switch weapons

Meanwhile
>Lewd
>Waifus
>You're the bad guy

Are some of the worst themes because they inspire almost no gameplay. You can make a game and slap waifus or lewds or villains and bam, fitting the theme.
It's shit.

God damn, user. You removed rape jam.

fucking stop holy shit.
Lewd jam literally just happened, if you didn't make a waifu jam game when you had a chance you're fucking retarded. There will probably be a waifu jam again next year assume /agdg/ still exists.

And don't fucking do a double theme jam again, that shit is retarded. Have one theme. Outer Space seems like the best choice for the next jam.

how do i vote for the gameplay jam and what shapes are allowed? How many different colors can we use?

Yeah you retard.

It's called Lost Odyssey.

Apotheon is literally the game you're looking for.

So how long it takes to make your placeholders /agdg/.

I don't have patient for anything these days.

The guy bursting into treats over the theme is the best part of this

These some game where you play as a Greek painting guy. I think it's a side scrolling combat platformer. No idea what it's called though.

>Guro
>Blatantly shitposting
Uh excuse you, demonophobia is the best lewd game ever you fucking cancer demon.

I played this as a kid.

Original. I think it looks really good.

boatjam was excellent, people were excited about it, working on it even during zeldajam

Then at the last minute some baby couldn't handle the thought of MECHAJAM being left out.

it's a 12 month subscription, not 12 years.

>what shapes are allowed?
All of them and all the colors.
Nothing beyond placeholder-tier unity cubes and pills.

It's not a hard concept to gather.

Oh shit, it's Wishbone

Why did boatjam have 7 entries then?

Ten seconds.

I think you misread. I'm not interested in Lewd Jam. I'm trying to get an alternative chosen so that we can actually have one that people might actually participate in. I just don't care if people sit around circlejerking about a lewd jam despite there being a real jam going on.

I wish I didn't have my finals during boatjam. I really wanted to make that exploration/micro Zelda:TWW style game.

m8 just shit something out and use that.

This.

By contrast there's plenty of game engines that would serve you better if you'd just look for them.

kek
Yeah sort of, thank you, though, I had forgotten about this game.

What date will the lewd jam be happening? I need to clear my schedule.

I did that tutorial too.

Godot is already pretty beginner friendly I would know since it's the first engine I used and now I feel pretty comfortable with it

What I did was just started making games. You just gotta do it. Joining some jams could help, or even just looking at old ludum dare themes and making a game based on those themes. Your first games will suck, but you'll learn as you go. The community is helpful too, if you ever get stuck ask on the godot subreddit, or the Q&A site, or the IRC.

Consider the following:

gameplay jam + theme.

you have to convey the theme without using any art or text

Literally no time at all.

will you guys stop convincing me unity sucks I'm trying to complete a game here.

>tfw no engine jam
