I think something as minor as stairs is okay, just don't use much more than that.

@Void, Sorry, for such all these newbie questions, but is Garry's Mod an acceptable program for fanart? Also, what file format and filename would you prefer? I would like to start on the 27th, possibly with my best friend as a collab, or just as a solo project. I read the rules regarding collaborations, but would he need an account here too? Thanks for reading!

Edit: Is Photoshop allowed for post-processing? Apologies for all these questions :psyduck:

Edit Edit: My friend who participated last year answered my questions :oops:

@Void I don't think I will be able to participiate on the weekend of the jam,but I would be able to do it at the start of the week. Do I just send a PM on the discord server whenever I'm ready to start?

This is my first 72Hr Jam. I'm planning on making a map.

Also is it ok to use prefabs?

If I made a drawing, would it have to be colored?

We reserve the right to not give the medal to low-effort entries! If you’re just entering to get a medal, try to test yourself!
  • To clarify, you won’t be denied a medal for not being very good, but you might be denied if you don’t try hard.
basicaly, it doesnot matter if its coloured or not. aslong as you have put effort into it. :)

Yes to all of this, that's fine.

Gonna 3d print some stuff this time, rather than just making the stl files. Hopefully no printer jams, just 72hr ones.

Wait so... since I had from Friday at 4:30 PST, Saturday, and now I have Sunday until 4:30 PST, does that mean I have to submit at that time orrr what do I do when I finish? @Void

Gmod is totally fine! I did it last year for the Jam. You can use any program to help complete your admission, as long as it's all original and you put effort into it! They prefer .jpg or .png, and make sure to name it something like "TF2Maps 2018 72hr Summer Jam"
When it comes to the date you want to start, what time on the 27th would you want to start, and to what day, and when would it end on that last day?
Also if you're including your friend, you would just have to include a steam profile link/steam id and say he was a collaborator.

I'm planning to make a taunt for the 72hr (which I've never tried before so it should be fun!)
I won't really have the time on the weekend of the Jam, but I can do:
5am AEST Thursday (26th) - 5am AEST Sunday (29th) [I think that's 72hrs]
Hope it's OK for me to do my entry in that time slot

Can you keep in with 72 hours by starting 1-3 hours later as well?

@Void I finished my drawing in the time that I was given (which was 4:30 PM PST on Friday to 4:30 PM PST on Sunday).
Do I submit my drawing now or when the Jam itself starts?
