Got a question - I know there’s been Vive submissions but can you submit an Oculus Rift game for the jam, just for an xbox controller (no motion controllers)?

anonymous_user_3d7c95f2 · July 4, 2016, 9:31am

Similar to question above, can we submit DayDream VR games?

Ivey · July 4, 2016, 10:23pm

Hey all, we’ve limited the rules to desktop platforms to ensure that we have the intended devices to test the games on. Regarding VR, we do have a Vive Pre and the Oculus Rift, so those are g2g. We cannot guarantee that we’ll have the appropriate mobile devices to play your games, so mobile platforms are not permitted within the rules.

Thanks, and happy jamming!

ag858 · July 4, 2016, 11:01pm

Thanks . Had to google g2g and all the results were “got to go” but I guess you mean good to go like the bp compile tooltip.

Some older people still use LOL to mean “lots of love” like it used to mean on postcards. Assumption, the mother of all awkwardness!

Ivey · July 4, 2016, 11:11pm

Haha apologies! Left over from my raiding days

MiGint · July 5, 2016, 9:24am

So how can you join the jam

Slapunas · July 5, 2016, 8:28pm

Just submit your game on the submission thread (it will be up once the theme is released)
And PM Unreal your (your team’s) private details (shipping address for prizes, name of the recipient and your t-shirt size)

MiGint · July 5, 2016, 9:09pm

Awesomeness thanks again

anonymous_user_759e5c3a · July 6, 2016, 7:27pm

And remember, you can join at any time, even if you didn’t preregister. All you have to do is submit a project (that meets the prerequisites in the rules) to the submission thread once it’s up.

ag858 · July 6, 2016, 10:09pm
