Is the gif from a real Pokitto Prototype?
Button City is on my wishlist for switch - itās so damn cute

Hmm, not sure if I follow. The gif is from my in-progress entryā¦ So I thinkā¦ Yes? But I recorded the gif on desktop; I use a little adapter pattern to plug into an SFML renderer in my preferred IDE (thatās why the text is wonkyā¦ I was lazy with it). Then I just swap to FemtoIDE when I want to build & test a binary.
@Zockeromi yay! Make sure to try out the demo (canāt remember if itās on Switchā¦ but free on Steam) to see if the gameplay style is something you enjoy 
The demo also stands alone as its own miniature story.

I donāt usually play on pc (and itās not very powerful either - most games donāt run on it actually) but i eventually hope to get the switch version (but bought a whole basket of indie games already 
)

Thatās amazing! How did you create that scaling zoom effect? Is really smooth!
2 Likes
Ah, wellā¦ If you mean dynamically smooth, then thatās a case where recording on the computer is smoother than Pokitto (same speed, just fewer render frames). Iāll have to see if I can optimize so that it feels nice on hardware.
As far as the actual scaling algorithm, itās just a basic rendering every 1/scale pixels. Not bothering with anything fancy specifically because it is dynamic, fast, and the endpoints map to integer steps.

Extend jam end to following weekend?
Hi. I admit that I personally would like to extend the jam end day (24) to next weekend (29), for many reasons. It was a stupid idea to put the jam end on the middle of the week.
But you all decide, I will not vote myself
- Yes
- No

End of jam moved to Sunday 29th
Frankly, I donāt believe we will get a bunch of games on a tuesday on a working week. Its not going to happen. This was a stupid deadline and entirely my fault.
Yes yes I know it spoils the purity of the jam. But the BatComputer runs games , not excuses, which I am afraid we will get if we try to end the jam on the busiest part of the week.
Sorry for being a dictator. I will make it up by actually delivering my part of the deal and I would like everyone to really pull to get their entries running and playable.

Does the extension coincide with your own entry not being ready 
Just kidding. If it gets more games in, then its worth doing.

Lessons learned, I guessā¦

I understand the nature of the question, but will answer nevertheless: I probably could get it ready if I wanted. But that will mean compromising at a point that is not sensible. I have done 90% of the work.
The real issue is that I feel there are several entries in the same situation. And if the āyieldā of our jam will be 50% less because of a few days, Iād rather see people pull together the stuff that they have already done.

Hey everyone
Important! Only for those about to submit their game to the jam
Must submit entry on itch_io ?
- Yes
- No
0 voters
IMPORTANT, part 2.
If yes, should we include PokttoEmu or have a PokittoSim version so that ppl without a Pokitto can play?
IMPORTANt 3
If not all entries are submitted on itch, voting is going to require special arrangements
Since the jam has a hosting page on itch.io I figure it makes sense to submit the games there too.
The emulator can run pop/bins, so I donāt really think that a sim/emu version is necessary. But it could be nice for folks without a Pokitto as you say 
I wouldnāt make it a requirement though.

Still 2 more submissions (we have now total four) and this will be more successful than the previous Pokitto Jam, The āPunk Jamā, where were 5 submissions. I know there are few still comingā¦
