64D Spring Competition Info Blog

Posted by Acid on Feb. 22, 2014, 9:10 p.m.

I want to keep an open communication between myself and all of you for the duration of the initial setup and execution of the 64Digits Spring Competition. I'm going to be using this as a sort of training grounds for the full on GAME JAM I'm going to be hosting later this year, OHJAM (which is a separate entity from this competition).

Let me know if you have anything to add or have any questions on anything!

I respond better to facebook or twitter messages.

IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME ABOUT SWITCHING/JOINING/LEAVING TEAMS, SEND ME A MESSAGE ON HERE OR AN EMAIL

I was wondering why it was showing me the wrong time, but it's because it doesn't account for Daylight Savings
It actually uses your PC's date magic, so if it doesn't account for DST, then that's because your PC doesn't. In theory any modern PC does.

In the process of contacting a couple more sponsors - Razer, SteelSeries, AMD, and more! Let's hope for the best!

I'm shotgunning these sponsorship requests in the hopes that at least a few will accept or even just respond. I've only gotten two confirmations so far, but I have a couple potential sponsors with whom I am still talking. No one has blatantly said no yet, so that's good! :P

Well, I've been practicing in Unity guys…

A couple of useful sites if you need a tutorial or two:

Walker Boys Studio tutorial (4.x)

3DBuzz tutorials

Unity official "Stealth" tutorial

GTGD FPS tutorial

There's also a ton of information on Blender. The "Blender noob to pro" book is great, and free. A couple of tips: Learn to use projection painting and Rigify for humanoid models. It'll make your life a lot easier if you're planning on using Blender for any asset creation.

I'm so excited for this, guys! I love 3d lighting effects on 2d objects.

Legend of Dungeon is a beautiful ass game. If I could ask for it's number, I would.

Just fyi I won't be taking part. I'm supposed to be doing assessments, I need to finish my game and I don't have the motivation for any of it
