The best sort of compilation errors:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../../../../../../../_common/ad/widget/widget.vue'

Oh, how it is the adverts code is suddenly gone? I wonder... ^_^

@Gargron

I use mastodon for some years already.
But once i started to notice that, it is getting hard to ignore it:
Mastodon web interface would be easier to scroll if the column with the input would be in the center, and tag columns could be attached both sides, not just one.
that would be ergonomics x2

Also when one opens a post or a user profile, it opens at the farthest column, and that feels awkward to scroll horizontally backwards and forwards across all the tags.

I would also like to thank @TheAndSys for being an inspiration for Battery Street (which won the jam, however small) and recommend to check her site https://ampersandia.net/

#fedijam #fediverse
Thank you to all of the participants (both ones that submitted and ones that did not) and to raters, including @mikapyon and @richard

And a special thank you to @humanetech for supporting the jam for several iterations already.

In one hour we will know the winner game of the FediJam IV.
It is a bit formal, but still we have 4 ratings per game so the ratings will mean something.

Anyone wants to try and federate Game Jolt #game store (MIT) so that fedi gamedevs feel at home?

The closest things technically would be Misskey and Peertube.

Aaand here goes my own entry.
A short cyberpunk visual... poem?
About powersaving?

It is a emergency submission at its' best because my plans with federating and protocols went haywire.
That said, it maybe not the worst thing i have created?

And the theme for Fedijam IV: Multiverse Crossroads, Bonfires and Marshmallows is...

Ok! FediJam IV: of Multiverse Crossroads, Bonfires and Marshmallows starts in about 5 hours! At 18:00 UTC.
https://itch.io/jam/fedijam-4

Currently 5 registered participants and 20+ people in Matrix room at
https://matrix.to/#/#fedijam:m.wfr.moe

At least 3 are planning federated games.
Don't like Itch? Just find a team on our #Matrix and make a #game together!

Participating or not, also vote on the theme!
10 votes (2 remaining) needed or we fall back to rng.

#fediverse #gamedev
Before you ask though, yes, any #help at making or finding a purely #foss (or maybe even federated) solution to having jam-like competitions is welcome.

#fediverse #fedijam #gamedev #gamejam #indiedev #foss #opensource

Yes, Itch is #proprietary . You might have had a problem because you wanted to participate in some gamejam and compete, but Itch Jams are not compatible with free software principles.
And jams are rarely using anything but #Discord

Good news.
FediJam differs from other Itch jams.
We use #matrix

In practice it means:
* You join https://matrix.to/#/#fedijam:m.wfr.moe
* You find a team
* You make a game
* Your teammate uploads.
* You never touch Itch

#gamedev #fediverse #fedijam #indiedev #matrix #learning #coding

Oh, i didn't notice how our matrix room grew 20+ people strong.
It also now has an added value to it.
It is literally the place on Matrix with the highest concentration of gamedevs focused on #fediverse and general federation of games.

So, even if you don't feel ready to enter our competition, feel free to join, say hi and learn something from us.

@humanetech
Regarding organizing on the #fediverse :

We ned to move our jam theme voting to #framadate today because mastodon polls do not support more than 4 options and we had 5.

Do you know some better/federated libre ways to have simple polls?
(Not that i am opposing framadate, i just want to know more options ^_^)

#fediverse #gamejam #fedijam #gamedev #indiedev

Ok, the poll was moved to framadate, thanks to esi and sunjam!

Vote for the theme for a FediJam IV!

Themes:
* Grids
* Power Saving
* Lure of the Pentaverse
* Look Out!
* Well Fed

We need 10 votes for a poll to be valid, so boost!
The results will be considered at Sunday Oct 07 18:00 UTC
Vote here (no need for real names):

Ok, a polling trouble - mastodon polls have only till 4 options ^_^

#fedijam #fediverse #gamedev #indiedev
Thanks to all people who suggested themes, and not right before the start.

Now we have 5 themes early and...
... For the first time in the FediJam history.... we get to _vote_ for a theme!
Right here on Mastodon!

18:00 UTC (~0.5 hour left), I freeze the theme list and we vote for 24 hours before the jam starts tomorrow Sunday, again at 18:00 UTC.
Poll will be valid if themes x 2 people vote, currently 10.
