dont worry matey, its not an ordeal at all, the work youve done is great, its a shame the itch page doesnt give you the freedom with images, so it can mean a lot of jiggery pokery, but honestly, id go with banner 1, its the best of them i reckon, but obvouisly its your work and you want it to look the best it can, so i get if you want to fiddle. :) there is no pressure on you to work on it, so dont feel you have to. :)
nah. leave it as it is, its brilliant!!! and again thank you for doing this, it is a great piece of work matey, and i aprreciate your time you took to create it. :)
@withthelove, hmm, the link not working, thing is with itch jam pages you dont have the freedom of control like you do with your own game pages, its a background or banner, thats it, so tiled is really all you got. shame the link dont work for you to see, i dont want to publish it if its not OK. il take some screenshots instead and upload them so you can take a look, i do have a colage of all the games that were made from last years jam.
screenshot 1 as background and banner. (my preference)
screenshot 2 as banner(think the image is destroyed as itch has strecthed it to fit)
screenshot 3 as banner with colage of games( not great i dont think)
screenshot 4 just as banner,no background(to bare)
@withthelove, thats awesome work matey, great job, and thanks again for taking the time to do it.
Here is the link to the jam preview page, it has not been published yet, check it over, just to make sure its OK for you all, and that you understand it, or that it is clear enough.
Oh, I forgot to mention, that last year, I requested a 'credit' option on your title/start screen, some of you did, some of you didn't.this year it is a rule. I want and need to be able to check the assets are being used from OGA and I don't want to have to spend so much time searching for them. It should be easy, so others that want to use the assets can find them easily. It was a bit of a nightmare for me. Also though, I am going to write about every game that is submitted and dedicate a page to your game on my website and include those links aswell.I am not the best at writing, so it won't be nothing special, but it's something I would like to do and work on. It would be really helpful if this could happen. :)
@medicinestorm the art challenge post looks great, thanks for doing that, and good luck with trying to resrurect the social media stuff, would be good to see them doing the rounds again.
@Capbros Yes!, by all means, create a banner for the jam, that would be awesome!
@medicinestorm @capbros, i was only making a light hearted joke about the policy thing, im meant nothing serious about it. :)
@too all
You can use ANY tool or engine/software you want or feel comfortable with and have the license/permissions to use it. be it RPG maker, Scratch, Godot, Java, html etc or even your very own engine if you want to, just as long as whatever you use it can be uploaded to itch jam page and played by all, and in keeping within the spirit of a gamejam, to code it/programme it during the jam time and not before. Storyboarding, editing, modify, locating, creating assets before the jam is perfectly fine. :)
Should you not be able to find assets on OGA for your needs, you can if you want, create your own for your game, but remember the rule. A Minuim of 6 assets from OGA is required for the jam. So i suggest that you make at least 6 of those assets you have created available on OGA before the jam ends to be considered for that 6 asset rule. Now, i know this could seem like a disadvantage to others, but the positive here is that more assets have been contributed to OGA, and they could be used next time or when ever the searching dev discovers them. The jam is an annual thing so there is nothing stopping anyone from creating within that year in prep for a jam. :)
