Here we are, last weekend before October begins. I wanted to do some quick housekeeping related to the jam.


I'm curious as to how many people are interested and have managed to start their projects for the jam. Let's do a headcount - if you're working on something for the jam, or planning on it, say so in the comments!


If there are any artists who can't find a programmer, I'd like to know if you'd be interested in using Meiker to make a game for the jam. Essentially, the website turns a PSD file into a functional dress-up game using tags in the layer names. While it will lack some functionality compared to coding something yourself, it might make it possible to participate. If there's enough interest, I could run interference between the admin and NG mods to see if it's acceptable for jam entries to be made off-site.


Thanks for checking in!

I'm working on a dress up game in flash 8 with 2 twists: the character makes a comment about what you put on him, and you can beat him up. The dress up part is mostly done now, and I'm working on the beat up part. It's a very simple system, you press a button that plays a cutscene like this game from @nukinukinukiki https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/949087

@BlakeyTakeyTheCakey Can you teach me how to do this in flash 8? I'm also making a game for this jam.

I remember you saying something about finishing the game. Make sure to add the tag costumejam2024 when you post it!

@Simoes1000 I used this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tltMUHoG494&t it covers the very basics of making a game like this, and I mean the VERY basics. If you want to learn more, I'd suggest watching other flash 8 tutorials.

Nice to see your housekeeping! I can’t wait to see everyone’s submissions! :D

I’m currently working on a game for the jam! I don’t know if i’ll get it on time because of the sheer amount of art I have to do (nit to mention school too). I’ll try to get it up and running though.

Godspeed. Hehe.
It’ll probably be a few days between the deadline and when I actually record for the video review, in case that helps give you extra time to add things.

This may be the first thing I will collab in with new grounds

Good luck!

Yooooooo! That banner looks crazy!

I see the main guy in CaiosAdriels account, kinbari from Emsdelaroz, as well as nebulate, crying child from binding of Isaac (I don’t know his name), pico, super meat boy and alien hominem, im not sure about anyone else

This banner is awesome sauce ngl! Epic work to ems!

@Thetageist okay
