Flowjam 2021 Official Announcement! 📢

sab · January 18, 2021, 12:48am

I don’t really have any point in joining. I could try, but I have a free account and straight up won’t win because of that.

@sab you don’t need an upgraded account to enter or to make a winning a game.

ScrapStudios · January 18, 2021, 2:04pm

@grazer Has anyone with a free account actually won a Flowjam?

grazer · January 18, 2021, 2:29pm

@ScrapStudios there have only been two so far, and both were won by Indie subscribers. That doesn’t mean you somehow need to subscribe to win, it means that folks who use Flowlab seriously are more likely to have an Indie membership.

You definitely have all the tools you need to make a winning game in the free version.

The best thing to do in a jam like this is to turn the theme into some sort of mini game. It doesn’t require much sprites and can run pretty smoothly on all devices. Plus they tend to be the most fun. I planned on doing this, but i kinda chose an idea that’s a little too much, but oh well.

Sorry to take time out of your work but I didn’t feel like making a post about it, Do you know ow to make a Player control less slippery I’m using the Run and Jump bundle and its just a little slippery do you now what to do to help me?

grazer · January 19, 2021, 4:40am

Hey @DarkfireAnimates - maybe make a new discussion for that, and post a link to your game. We can take a look and provide feedback there

DarkfireAnimates · January 21, 2021, 12:04am

I resign from this game jam for real this time!

Hey @grazer I was checking the submission page and it said that I don’t have any games available to submit, I created my game last Saturday the 16th but I thought I’d ask so I don’t find out I can’t submit anything the last day and not be able to make a replacement game.

I did fill out all the information on the submission page I just cleared it for the screenshot

real.Abeeb · January 22, 2021, 2:39pm

@grazer Same here, I tried to enter my game, but it wouldn’t let me, because it said that I had no games. What can we do?

AbstractGallery · January 22, 2021, 2:40pm

Maybe we’re not allowed to submit them until the day of.

real.Abeeb · January 22, 2021, 2:40pm

Maybe, but why not? I mean there shouldn’t be anything wrong.

grazer · January 22, 2021, 2:50pm

@real.Abeeb & @AbstractGallery - can you guys try again? I think the time zone was wrong.

real.Abeeb · January 22, 2021, 2:51pm

@grazer Thanks, it’s up and running now!

AbstractGallery · January 22, 2021, 2:52pm

Awesome! Thanks @grazer that would just be terrible if I had to restart.

AbstractGallery · January 22, 2021, 2:55pm

Hey, say I submit my game now, would I still be able to work on it for the rest of the Jam?

MrMcMemerMan · January 22, 2021, 3:43pm

I think so, because grazer said you can work on submitted games until the voting begins.

theglitch055 · January 22, 2021, 7:41pm

how many days are left

MetaNinja · January 22, 2021, 7:42pm

The Flowjam ends on January 30th, so you have at least 8 days left.

Mr_Secret · January 25, 2021, 8:29pm
