Hi Everyone,
I'm needing some banner art for the up and comming Summer Game Jam. If there is anyone interested in doing it this year could they let me know below.
First jam was done by ElizaWY, the second was done by Withthelove, this year you?
I would need 2 images, one with the banner image itself, which should include an picture of 'Sara' the OGA mascot and something that you think covers summer and games in general. this should be a minuim size of 315 x250. The second is for background, something light, not to heavy, but compliments the banner. simular to last years background https://itch.io/jam/opengameart-game-jam-2 would be good.
I would need them 2 weeks before the jam starts in july. :)
Thanks.
Or if there are more than 1 person/s that want to do this then maybe we could set it up as an 'art challenge'?

The draft for the Summer Jam is now up for scrutiny!
I'l publish it live in the next 7 days if there is no problems.
The 'Prizes' on offer are not life changing amounts i know, but i think there enough for now. Some changes too, so check em out and let me know your thoughts, positive or negative. It's no longer a requirement to add credits in game menus, i know some thought that was a bit much, so just the comments or jam page will surfice, great if you could add it in the menus though. :)
Thanks.

I'm in !!!
My banner proposal ;)
SVG added maybe you want to change colors or add something, in that case it's up to you :P
I will try to make something this week :-)
@Xom Adept no need as Looneybits has done one, but thank you for offereing to do it, maybe you fancy doing it next year?
@Looneybits, very nice!, and thank you, I have tweaked it slightly, but it looks great. :)
Just to be clear, I no longer need any banner art for the jam page as it is now done. Thanks to all those that were considering doing it.

oh, another jam!
@looneybits: SWEET!!! That looks so pro! you really put my old efforts to shame! :)
Any interest in doing a 'Made for the' variant for folks to display at start up in their games? we didn't get too much traction with that in the last Jam, but I still think it's a cool idea. Could pretty much just be the same thing with the words 'Made for the' stuck on the top.
@chasersgaming: why does everything say 'unofficial' on it this time around? I mean technically these jams aren't officially sponsored or run by OGA but at the same time, they're pretty much as official as anything gets around here. just curious. I will say, as a tag line, it does add a kind of an fun 'underground' vibe to the proceedings. Like somehow this Jam will be hosting the games the stuffy 'official' OGA jams couldn't handle! :)

Hi @withthelove variant like this ??
'Made for the' jam splash screen, i didn't think about that, that looks cool and is a cool idea.
@Looneybits, they look gret.:)
@withthelove The reason I have said its 'Unofficial' is because i have prizes this time round, there only small but prizes non the less, and should anything go wrong for whatever reason i don't want any backlash to damage OGA, the comminty or its admin, so i thought it best to say that from the begining and let participants know. :)

@looneybits: Excellent! And here we go in SMS format for all the SMS freaks out there... ;)
@chasersgaming: Gotcha, so basically it is 'officially' too hot handle this year! ;)
https://withthelove.itch.io/
@Withthelove we will see! good job on the SMS splash screen! :)
The jam is now live and everyone can see it and to join in.
Just to remind everyone that it is fine to prep/source your game assets, such as music, graphics but there must be NO CODING your game until the start of the jam please.
I wish you all the best of luck and will look foward to playing and rating your entrys! :)

https://withthelove.itch.io/
@withthelove It's up to you !
liking the retro splash screens ^^
Let me know when/how you would like the game jam announced front-page. This'll be the most official unofficial game jam ever. :P
--Medicine Stormcan't stop....

'This is the most unofficial official game jam ever!'
@medicinestorm
Yeah, :) er, i feel a bit silly now i put 'unofficial', but i was just being cautious with the prizes thing, i could removed the 'unofficial' part. I should of asked you really, oh well, it is kinda funny. :) You could make the annoucement at the start of the jam, or after the art challenge, il leave that up to you, when and wherever convenient for you. Thank you. :)
woah, theres lots of splash screens now! :)

I like your "dark" version of the banner, mold !
slightly confusing how the summer game jam thread is under "Resource Requests", I had a bit of trouble finding it there ^^;
Oh, It's because i requested the banner art, didn't see the point of starting a completely new thread, so just edited this one. Maybe admin can move it to the appropriate place if its a problem for people finding it.:)

I couldn't resist to make my own versions of this banner.
You can call it the "beach" versions (the colors evoke sand and water).
Do you prefer her with weird glasses?
Interesting colors! Sara got a tan,,
Just a reminder to all and those that would like a go at a gamejam over the summer.
The Game jam starts in just over 4 days. so be sure to check it out. :)

I've no ideas for any game, but it could be fun to do a challenge where you only use art from others and isn't allowed to do anything yourself except the title logo.
It would not be hard at all for me to rely on other peoples assets only :)
"fun to do a challenge where you only use art from others and isn't allowed to do anything yourself"
This does sound like a good idea, its not something i would adopt for the 'summer jam' though. Checking every entry for just 6 OGA assets is enough work for me, also if assets cant be created then they can't be shared here, which is one of the jams focus, to encourage assets to be shared, maybe not all, but at least a small portion perhaps. :)
Chasersgaming | Support | Monstropolis |
even if it's not part of the jam theme, I might just take it on as a personal challenge then. :)
oh yeah of coarse, participants can do what they like to challenge themselves for the jam, or do as they see fit in a sense, as long as 6 OGA assets are used and the rules are followed then developers are freely open to do as they wish for a project. Look forward to see what you create. :)
If developers are challenging themselfs or taking a particular approach to the game they are making i would definatly encourage them to share there thought process and reason for it, either in a dev blog or description. It will help players/raters connect with thier game and have a understanding about it which i do belive will help rating scores for there project. IMO.

I did 'All-OGA' for the fall jam, but maybe this year we could tweak the idea to be 'off the shelf' or 'something borrowed' where the requirement is that all the art/music/sfx/etc must be OGA works by another artist(s). with an exception for title screen/music/etc. I wouldn't mind that challenge, but as discussed on another thread at length, it definitely would be a challenge since it can be really tough to find everything a game needs using just OGA submissions alone.
https://withthelove.itch.io/
2 days left...
Almost there...
@withthelove The OGA Fall "Harvest" Jam. >.>
Prepare to see a lot of shmups, rpgs, rouge likes, and Kenny inspired platformers. Though if you are cool with that we might get a few gems out of the deal. I am willing to give it a try.
it's on!!
Woot! Get typin peeps! And good luck!
yep. the jam has now started!, good luck everyone, enjoy yourselves and il look forward to playing and rating your games. :)

I can't find the end-of-voting date mentioned. Does judging conclude on August 3rd?
--Medicine StormHi @medicinestorm, apoligies for late response. the voting period is 2 weeks after the jam finishes. 11th August is the end voting date.
hope that helps. :)

Just see the annoucement on the front page. Thank you very much for doing that. appreciate it. :)

I kinda have a question about the rules, would it be ok if I copied just the system for displaying the credits from a former game? nothing else in the game itself, but there's really not much way to reinvent the wheel with that...
@Spring Basecode is fine as long as it programmed,modified,adapted or forked within the jam start date. :)
I'm glad you decided to create games again and participate. :)
Chasersgaming | Support | Monstropolis |
Oh, I notice the rules are actually different this year though, and instead of showing the credits in the game you now have to put them on the game's jam page, that'll be a huge wall of text because I'm using a ton of assets o.o
yes i did modify that this year, however i have changed it to read to the following:
4) You must have 'Credits' of the assets used in game from OpenGameArt within the games page description/game comments, or in game.
either one of these 3 ways is fine.
hope thats better. :)
Chasersgaming | Support | Monstropolis |
I'll use whatever you find the easiest, really ^^
any of them is cool, as long as i can locate the assets here on OGA and find them in game, then its all good. :)

I remixed withthelove's gameboy version a bit.
Switched fonts to Good Neighbor and a streched version of NeoSans.
