Hmm, this will require some abstract thinking…

Very fitting theme, as we all who work on UE4 projects are standing on the shoulders of giants.

Standing on the shoulders of giants…i´ll need a lot of grass to get some ideas for this one Or maybe i´ll skip this one and work on my game…

I have a question… I am 16, so can I participate on this one? I made some other Jams in Dec, Jan and Feb, but because of that extra winning stuff , I better ask…

SaviorNT · October 8, 2015, 8:09pm

Got a few ideas, threw a few out due to complexity, but I have 3 that I can work with (I’ll need to sleep on it… need sleep… insomnia in anticipation of the Jam is a !@#%^)… I hope the forums are ready for the unleashing I am going to be doing asking questions

RE: The original material requirement, does that just mean no engine defaults or does that include outsourced assets as well?
How much alteration would be required for a material to be considered original?

SaviorNT · October 8, 2015, 8:30pm

I was curious about this myself.

“All art assets in the game must have a material other than the default applied to it.” I.e. it must have a material. Not the default grey chess pattern texture that you get otherwise.
That’s my understanding of it.

iUltimateLP · October 8, 2015, 8:54pm

I think it means everything from the starter content so that techhex for example… No one would habe that chess mat either

Haven’t participated in one of these in a while, may try to through an idea together for this due to interest in the theme…hmm. Good Luck!

Hey guys, I made this reddit post](https://.reddit/r/unrealengine/comments/3o0msv/collect_ideas_here_standing_on_the_shoulders_of/)**** for people to collect and share Ideas, incase they come up with some they don’t want/can’t do themselves, can atleast share them with others

anonymous_user_b204e58e1 · October 8, 2015, 9:31pm

I’m finding it difficult to come up with a good idea for this theme. More thinking…

Raed_Abbas · October 8, 2015, 9:47pm

wow 241 teams… that’s a lot of games to play

Zetheros · October 8, 2015, 9:54pm

Werk werk! SOMETHING TO DOING

anonymous_user_87b7cc5d · October 8, 2015, 10:40pm

I have one question: Can I use unity?
Just kidding!

Can it be a VR game only?

Thanks

DamirH · October 8, 2015, 10:53pm

Is there an upper limit to the gameplay time?
