2019 Epic MegaJam | November 14-21 | Theme: DOWN TO EARTH

Hello! Just a quick question about “non sourced” assets. Like assets from the Unreal Engine Marketplace. If we use 1 or 2 from the marketplace, those wont be scored at all. Would it essentially hurt our score?

Thanks!

this one will be hard… down to earth…

yes, it’s difficult to develop a simple game “down to earth”

depends on what you make i guess

Hey, working on my submission, and I just wanted to verify that we can put links to our socials, or other game pages at the end of our game, or on the menu?

@masterburgler Links to social media pages are allowed, but for everything else you have to refer to the rules: Box

We don’t subtract points for pre-made assets, but they’re not judged and won’t add points. As an example, if you used 3d-models from the marketplace and you lit them well, you would get points for the lighting, but not for the models themselves.

I have to say, it’s still a bit confusing for me too.
So the 1-5 “visuals” rating is an overall score of more sub-scores, like 1 score for lighting, 1 score for models… or how is it interpreted? How does it make a difference if a team uses 25% or 75% pre-made assets (or 1 or 50 or 100)?

Hi Everyone.

I noticed that the deadline date is changed to Friday in the counter on page. Is this a mistake, or do we have an extra day?

This is my entry. Almost done :D. Android controls are set up. Right now multi build with single file packaging is at 68MB so I have a lot of room for more stuff!

I’m just happy I made a whole game :slight_smile:

I think that’s right, just adjusted for your timezone. I think its Thursday 11:59pm EDT? Which means Friday morning for anyone in Europe (etc)

Ahh yes, thanks, I didn’t count the time difference (long nights, not much sleep…)

I did not have time, I just managed to create a room, I did not have time to create quests :frowning: I will wait for the next megaJam

Hello.
Uploaded the game before the end of time but it did not appear in the list.

Сan be that any do?

Same thing happened to me! It might be an issue with the itch servers because so many people were uploading? About 15-20 minutes before the deadline I submitted my game but it is not showing up in the submission feed and does not show as “submitted” in the game jam section of the dashboard.

I double checked that it was submitted, sent the link to my partner, but it doesn’t show as submitted. We are kind of freaking out so please help us! https://kanks./back-down

Hi there! Got a question here. Didn’t manage to upload game on , timer ran out right in the exact moment, but my submission in on Dropbox and there you can see exact time of upload. Yes, it’s 07:59.
Can it be counted as MegaJam submission? If yes, can I update the game with a single patch? I’ve forgot to add extremely important thing, which doesn’t let people play.
Thanks.
P.S. And I forgot to turn on cursor in the menu…

Reason your games was not showing up is probably becuss you dident publish the game, if you go to dashboard and it says draft nobody can view it, i had same problem. i sat alarm and woke up 25 mins before deadline and fixed my problem

Hey, I failed on the zip naming (It was late, I was tired heh) so that’s what it is.

Is it possible to create and upload more images / a video post submission tho?

They said on stream that you definitely have some time after deadline to upload media, but not the build.

Hello.

I’m posting this for the sake of visibility because I can’t reach Unreal staff in any way.

Our team has uploaded the build on three times, all of them were WITHIN the submission period.

I went through submitting the game 2 TIMES on this page https:///jam/2019-epic-megajam.
Each one was correct, I provided all the necessary information: team name, game name, members, e-mail addresses, countries and such. The name of the zip-file is also correct.
The game visibility was also set public while I submitted it on the jam page,

However, we can’s see our game on a submission page, nor we received any visual feedback on a submission.

I would be very grateful if the Unreal staff could contact us in any way possible and help us to improve the situation.
