Again, we have a full support from the Defold Foundation, so shoutout to @britzl and the team! 😉 Check out the amazing prizes and all the details in here: > **[\#MadeWithDefold Jam 2023](https://itch.io/jam/madewithdefold-jam-2023)** > > A game jam from 2023-05-08 to 2023-05-19 hosted by paweljarosz.

Thanks for starting this. Generous prize pool as always. Looking good, I’m in! This will be a good excuse to make something simple with multiplayer. Edit: Sitting this one out. Too much going on, but looking forward to the results. ---

Over 50 people joined our jam! 🥳 I added 5 more games to the pool of prizes to celebrate! 🎁 And as only 5 days are left, I propose a poll to vote for the theme! There is a limit up to 5 themes in each poll (because there is limit on poll to have max 20 entries), but I would love you to differentiate it, so we could have only one winning result with most votes: _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.defold.com/t/madewithdefold-jam-2023/73054/9))_ Part 2: _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.defold.com/t/madewithdefold-jam-2023/73054/9))_ ---

Great, because when I clicked to show results on poll end, I can’t see the results too! 😅 (It’s also great because I will be participating too, so it will be fair! 😃 ) So, immediately after the poll will end, I will make a quick announcement and edit the jam page! ---

**Day 2 (the 1th day was just thinking).** Started making a meditative landscape builder with endless gameplay. This is the first time I’ve ever drawn tiles (especially the layered tiles). The first progress. ![Screenshot 2023-05-09 at 22.38.14](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/4/1/41b05a164d5c86ec898897f9fb4be82ea2842634.jpeg) All biome transitions are created by layering, which significantly reduces the number of transition tiles. ---

Day 1: was sifting through the ideas based on the theme . Nothing better than sticking an idea down on paper right away. ![DefoldJamIdeaOnNapkin](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/0/5/05c67f6fee257ef5a9781505dd668ec36d15e3cf.png) So far today partially designed a playfield , yet still need to map out where point trigger bumpers will be and also graphically where base lights will be flashing around the playfield before sketching the theme. ![AR_playfield_DJAM23](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/c/7/c70dd04c0085fe4a896ba14d53f37e2c630f76d1.png) Thinking about how to best approach the collision , may try to create large polygon chunks or maybe grid slice the playfield into tiles and use that for collision and separated graphics most likely larger textures. Not sure if I will finish this but very fun trying. EDIT: End of the day update, got the bumpers/flippers/gates etc. laid out now ready to build collisions and triggers for them in Defold tomorrow. ![AR_Playfield_Update](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/d/5/d504c928cfcd3a5488b8733fbbb34cf337c8e97c.png) ---

My game is definitely inspired by Slender: Eight Pages. I was thinking about making such game for a while in Defold to check out how it is to make a 3D game. Definitely assets by @astrochili, @TheKing0x9 and @aglitchman are helpful here! I have though a lot of problems with performance, but it might be only on my machine and I can’t bundle the game yet ☹ So I’m pushing the project on Github, so maybe some of you can check it out and point out what’s messed up 🤞😅 It looks better with night lighting: ![Screenshot from 2023-05-10 09-45-10](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/4/e/4e982f5e4c4a556d69a3bfec0a74291c197682c6.jpeg) > **[GitHub - paweljarosz/horror\_3d\_game\_mwdj\_2023: Horror (Slender-inspired) 3D game for Made With...](https://github.com/paweljarosz/horror_3d_game_mwdj_2023)** > > Horror (Slender-inspired) 3D game for Made With Defold Jam 2023.

425k does sound a bit like overkill. It should still work though. However, I consider our Collada importer to be deprecated. I recommend converting the model into a .gltf/.glb format. You can probably do it with Blender. ---

I’m really not into 3D, but really wish to make it 😃 I will do my best afternoon, there are models in glb, gltf and perhaps I would switch to them, I will clean up first unused models and then replace this high poly zombie 😃 Thank you so much for the findings! ❤ [Next page](https://forum.defold.com/t/madewithdefold-jam-2023/73054.md?page=2)
