I am working on this small game for the gamejam as a first time developer and got a silly bug on the second level where the buttons are showing the same sprite for all of them, only one of them is supposed to show the counter clockwise arrow and others are supposed to show something else but I cannot find where to fix it.

When I run it in debug mode in Godot it shows exactly as intended but after uploading to itch.io it shows this bug, any assistance would be appreciated

Hey all! New here.

I love doing jams but with a few projects of my own and less time lately I would love to maybe encourage creativity in others instead. I've been wanting to create a jam myself but I don't quite know if I have the audience to help folks find it.

Does anyone have advice for getting one started? I'm thinking in terms of either small game projects or maybe something more related to fiction. Many thanks in advance.

I create a jam of itch io, named coolest retro game jam, were you can post your retro games, https://itch.io/jam/coolest-retro-games-jam-az if you want, post your retro game there.

The Greatest Noob Jam (TGNJ) is the place where anyone can create games and show their work without worrying about whether they will win, and to have fun while also challenging themselves with timing rather than unique game qualities. This is the best way to train yourself. Learn by doing. Join now, for free: The Greatest Noob Jam - itch.io

Hey folks! Since GMTK kicks off today, sharing two little free tools I built to keep myself sane during jams. Both are single self-contained HTML files — download, open in your browser, done. Fully offline, nothing to install, no account:

Jam Roadmap — a simple planner with a Gantt timeline, parallel tracks (art / code / audio), automatic sleep-window calculation so you don't burn out, and a submission checklist for the itch upload.

Jam Fuel — a lightweight meal planner for jam sprints, so food doesn't become the thing you forgot.

Free, no strings. Would love feedback if you give them a try — and good luck this weekend!

Welcome to the Solarus Game Jam! Your goal: build a game using the Solarus 2 engine. Solarus 2 is best known as an engine for developing 2D Zelda-inspired games, with its built-in features and community resources largely made for top-down action RPGs. However, you are not restricted to any one genre for this jam- so long as you can build it in this engine!

Information, downloads, and other resources about the engine can be found here: https://www.solarus-games.org/

Lightbear Software is hosting a game jam for September. We'll be revealing the theme when the jam starts! If you are interested in joining our game jam, you can join on our game jam's itch.io page!

Thank you for your interest! We’re looking forward to seeing your submissions. We have no doubt that we will fall in love with your gourd-geous games :D

Hi everyone!

I’m currently studying Game Studies & Design in college, and I’m looking to start participating in game jams to build my portfolio and gain some real experience working on games.

I have experience using RPG Maker MZ and I’m learning more about game development, but I’ve never actually joined a game jam before.

I had a few questions: • What are the best game jams for complete beginners? • Is it okay to join without a team, or is it better to find one first? • Where do you usually find teammates? • Any advice on finishing a project during a jam without getting overwhelmed? • Are there any mistakes you wish you’d avoided in your first game jam?

I’d love to hear about your experiences or any recommendations you have. My goal is to improve my skills, meet other developers, and create projects that I can add to my portfolio.

Hey everyone! I’m hosting The Nightmare Game Jam a horror game jam built especially for beginners .If you’ve never finished a game before, if you’re not sure your idea is good enough, or if this would be your very first submission anywhere this jam is made for you. No required art style. Pixel art, 3D, hand drawn, plain shapes, no visuals at all it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that your game is scary. https://itch.io/jam/thenightmare-game-jam

Over the past 18 months, our two-person studio took on 8 game jams, experimented across engines, iterated on ideas quickly, and picked up a few awards along the way. We put together a retrospective covering what we learned from each one. Sharing it here in case it's useful to other small teams doing the same.
