Congratulations to anyone who submitted this week! Your games look really cool. Let me know if you have on how to improve future jams. The jams seem to be growing a bit so I'm thinking about how I can make them more useful for people.
And currently this jam doesn't have a theme as it's open to anyone working on any portfolio. I may start adding optional themes for future weeks to help spark ideas!
Hi, I've just made a thread for forming teams, otherwise I would say look on the itch.io discord server. There is no server for this jam at the moment!
A place to reflect on how the week's gone! (optional)
If your project is still a work in progress and you don't want to publish publicly on your page, feel free to post a private link here to your game on itch to show what you've been doing.
Hey, well done submitting! I don't rate the games or anything. The main aim of the jam is to help people set weekly targets and work on a portfolio over time. I'll think about how I can encourage people in the jams to try the submitted games and give each other feedback as that would certainly help people. Maybe I can put something in the jam description, or make a thread for feedback requests. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Spanish (or other language) is fine! I've been thinking about whether to add English-only to the rules for future weeks (just for moderation) but I haven't given it much thought yet. I certainly won't be suddenly changing the rules for this week's jam. Thanks for asking.
Hi just so you know this is a non-competitive jam! No one judges anything, it's just to help anyone working on a portfolio. And no one will get angry at anything :)

Pretty happy with my progress this week, I overcame a few obstacles. Worked on player movement and collision. Not submitting as I don't want to publish it publicly yet but it's playable at https://orlandoo.itch.io/2dplatformer?password=2d
Still working on my 2D platformer prototype. This week I'll debug and refine movement/gravity/collisions, and if I get to it, start using BoxCast to detect collisions (currently I move the player then move them back if there are collisions). Possibly adding acceleration/deceleration to player movement but that will likely be another week.
This week is over, well done to anyone who got something submitted and to anyone else who's got some work done! Your games look really cool. Anyone who didn't manage, this week is your week, I believe in you!
I made some good progress this week, writing my own script for player collision, jumping, and gravity, rather than relying on the rigidbody physics. It has lots of problems so everything is now worse than last week! The player also loses their ground collision detection after they go through the portal. But I have a better understanding than I did at the start of the week, and more ideas on how to get things working properly. I might make a separate account for publishing unfinished/buggy prototypes so I can actually submit to the jam. https://orlandoo.itch.io/2dplatformer?password=2d
Looks great! Is it finished or is it something you're going to keep working on? I couldn't find a way in the house, not sure if there is one yet or not haha. Congrats!
I just had a quick click through of it, it looks great! I'll be coming back to it to play properly and actually read it! Congrats on getting it submitted.
