There is a vote happening in discord if #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam should be increased by X amount of hours :)
But in any case, try to create a project on itch.io and submit now. You can update your game infinite amount of times until submission period ends.

As per usual, "tradition" #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam will be extended! This time it is 24h to polish and fix whatever you have left, figure out how to build and upload your game to itch.io, prepare and make your git public.
Good luck to all and to me (I have not finished my game too :))

Managed to watch Veritasium video about batteries. It has an ad about Code Reviews. Like developers now code faster with new tools and AI, but code reviews slow the process.
Now I'm wondering will AI actually help with it? Especially when code is written with AIs help?
19th minute of the video.

Final optional feature arrived for #core-mechanics-challenge #gameJam. It's "More levels" for x3 points. I'm working on it too, btw. Flexible abilities are always the pain :)

Started working on my own #game for my own #core-mechanics-challenge #gameJam today. Task is "Bomberman". Will try and do platformer Bomberman using #godot. 3+ days left - plenty of time!

#core-mechanics-challenge just landed new hard optional feature (x5): Add an opponent to your game. Best option is to have a player controlled opponent (second player using other inputs), or good enough AI.
This one is hard, but if you manage to pull it off - very fun! Good luck!

Great jam to try yourself at coding, game-dev, try new engine or just practice your skills!
Sadly, it isn't indexed by @itch.io yet, so it is not searchable, but you can find previous jam and get a link to a new one there

Ever wanted to build a map, out of tiles? If only there was something in #Godot to help... Oh wait, there is! But using tilemaps properly can be tricky... luckily we have @jackiecodes.bsky.social speaking at #GodotFest to help!
