Minetest Forums

One question will there next year again a game jam? Or will there another competition like mod jam or texture jam. Or what we really need a sound jam!? We need really sound packs but that must in another topic :) Sure, why not. We'll definitely be making many adjustments though :] Competitions for ...

By the way, if your game literally does not start for whatever reason, bug fixes for that are OK.

Submission time for the game jam is officially done ! You now have 10 days to play and review submissions ! https://content.minetest.net/packages/?tag=jam_game_2021&random=1 We've received a total of 24 submissions (so far, some reviews pending)! That's a lot of games :D Also, the final prize po...

Work time for the 2021 Minetest GAME JAM is OVER! BUT ... you have an extra hour to get your packages submitted for review (or fix any huge bugs you missed). We are also using the time to comb over submissions to make sure everyone can get their packages approved. When packages are approved in in an...

A little more than 2 hours remain! Finish up and add your submissions to the ContentDB with the Jam / Game 2021 tag, even if you aren't quite done yet (just mark as WIP)!

3 days remain! Start wrapping up and submit whatever you have before Dec 22 (UTC), even if it isn't quite done (mark as WIP).
Make sure to add your packages and releases to the ContentDB with the Jam / Game 2021 tag!

I've tweaked to the top post to have the correct end date. You have through the 21st to submit your games, so it ends 00:00UTC 22nd. In the future we'll just specify times explicitly with 23:59 or something :P

As long as ranged_weapons is not central to your gameplay, then sure (as long as you document it). But if it is central to your game, no. And what is meant by "central"? I wanted to make an FPS-style game. It doesn't make sense to write a new mod that adds firearms when there is already o...

Just to seek some clarification, if I were to use advtrains as a library, obviously excluding using existing track, wagon and trackside equipment models, substituting my own, this would count as only a library, correct?

Correct, that would count as a library.

Good morning, I've got a question, can I use mods that were made before the jam in my game? I wanted to include the ranged_weapons mod, but I don't know if I can do it. As long as ranged_weapons is not central to your gameplay, then sure (as long as you document it). But if it is central to your ga...

other solutions like librepay are allowed at the handler's discretion. and if none of those work, then you can suggest a charity or donate to the minetest project. and if that doesn't work then you can just decline the prize and compete just for fun like all the judges are doing Wait, can judges al...

you should explain why crypto is not allowed. it is after all the most widely available platform for transferring money - it meets this requirement better than paypal. and is fully transparent. I'm the one handling prize distribution and I don't use crypto, and don't intend to for the foreseeable f...

Discussion about game monetization should be taken up in a separate thread. Please stay on-topic, thanks!

Sorry, the forum stopped giving me thread notifications. Question: why paypal? not everyone who might participate can even qualify for an account As I already wrote in the top post, its for international reasons. PayPal is the most widely available money transfering platform. Also already wrote, alt...

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GreenXenith/minetestgamejam/master/2021/begin.png The jam has BEGUN! (Dec. 1st UCT) You have 3 weeks to make a small, fun-to-play Minetest game! Participate for experience, glory, or part of the $500+ prize pool! (Yes, we know the ContentDB is experiencing issues a...

- Is it possible to receive payment as Amazon giftcards?

It is possible, yes. I make no promises though :)

Sorry If I missed it, but does it matter what version of Minetest we use?

Good question. The game should be compatible with the latest stable version at the time the event starts (5.4.1). I'll add that to the details.

What prevents people from starting early already?

The honor system. It's a loose restriction anyway, and you'd only get 25% more time.

I do not understand a game or a mod subgame?

I think a complete game is unrealistic in just 21 dayz!

It says "Game Jam", not "Mod Jam". Three weeks is plenty of time to make a tiny game from scratch. If Ludum Dare can do it in 3 days, you can do it in 21.

The jam post-mortem is up! It covers what went well, what didn't go well, and details about future plans! You can read it here https://github.com/GreenXenith/minetestgamejam/blob/master/2021/POSTMORTEM.md . Thanks again to everyone that contributed and participated! 2021 Minetest Game Jam Results 1s...

After 3 years, I finally decided to give this mod some much needed love. Waffles have been reborn! New look: https://content.minetest.net/uploads/df7cfbfaae.png What else changed? Waffle batter returns your bucket upon craft Waffle batter recipe returns 3 single-use containers You can open the waffl...

Just so you know, a B3D exporter already exists that supports 2.93 https://github.com/GreenXenith/io_scene_b3d . It is fairly messy, but it works. It also includes the full B3D spec. Awesome! I didn't realize your/Joric's fork was also working on 2.93. Does import work as well? Joric kept the origi...
