Welcome to the first-ever Girly Game Jam!

This is your chance to create fun, fabulous, and empowering games for all the girly game lovers out there! 💕 Whether it’s magical adventures, fashion-filled escapades, adorable animal companions, or pink sparkly cooking sims, this jam is all about celebrating games with a “girly” vibe. Let’s show the world that girly games are creative, magical, and here to stay! 🎀✨

 👉 Join our community on Discord to find a team, share your game, chat with fellow creators, and have fun!🌸✨

🦄 Theme

🌟 Opposites Attract 🌟

From unlikely friendships to clashing aesthetics, from day vs. night to chaos vs. order—this theme is all about contrast and harmony! Whether you explore it through story, art, or gameplay mechanics, the possibilities are endless! 💖⚡

Let your creativity shine and bring your own unique twist to the theme! We’re so excited to see what you create! ✨🎮

💖 Rules & Guidelines

✅ Do

• Be kind, supportive, and respectful to everyone.

• Work solo or in teams (but remember: prizes will be split).

• Use any game engine or framework you like.

• Use pre-made assets if you have proper licensing and provide credits.

• Submit only original work (get creative)!

❌ Don’t

• Submit fully AI-generated content (refer to  FAQ for more info on the subject!).

• Include NSFW, offensive, or inappropriate content.

• Submit after the deadline (avoid last-minute stress by uploading early).

🎮 Submitting Your Game

• Game Info: Include a short description and a summary of your mechanics.

• Credits: Add credits for any assets, music, or art used.

• Tags: Use tags like “girly,” “fantasy,” “fashion,” or anything that fits your vibe!

Pro Tip: Create your itch.io game page and upload your files at least a few hours before the deadline. These things take time—don’t wait until the last minute!

💚  Visuals: Does it have eye-catching, fabulous designs?

💬 FAQ

Do I need to be a girl to participate? 

No, you do not need to be a girl to participate! The Girly Game Jam is open to everyone!! The focus is on creating games that embrace girly aesthetics and themes, but anyone is welcome to join and bring their unique perspective. 

We encourage diversity and inclusivity in this creative space! 💖

Is all AI generated content isn't allowed?

You can use AI-assisted coding auto-complete tools, but no copy-and-pasting large amounts of AI-created code, we want to see your amazing technical skills, not AI's! 

No AI art

No AI music

Can I use pre-made assets or templates?

Yes! Just make sure you have the proper license to use them and credit the creators in your submission.

Can I work with a team?

Absolutely! Keep in mind that prizes will be split between members, so smaller teams might make sharing easier.

When will the theme be announced?

The theme will be revealed when the jam starts. Get ready to brainstorm and create!

How do I ensure my game gets enough ratings?

Only submitters can vote, so we highly encourage teams to discuss and coordinate their votes. By playing and rating other games during the voting period, you'll not only connect with the community but also help support others while ensuring your own submission gets fair ratings. It’s a great way to get noticed and contribute to the jam!
