Welcome to the 1904labs 2023 Spring Game Jam!

Theme: Ride

You will have one week to create and submit a game, from March 20th (3:15PM central time) to March 27th (7:00PM central time).

Rules/Guidelines:

• Anything goes as long as it sticks to the theme!
  • Use any tools you'd like to build your game
    • Examples include: Unity, Unreal, Godot, PyGame, in-browser, custom, Blender , Aseprite,  MS Paint, etc.
  • 2D and 3D are both fair game.
  • Free/Public assets are fine to use, but you're encouraged to make your own.
    • When using other assets make sure you follow any usage rights associated with them.
  • Your game must be free!
• You must submit your game before March 27th at 7PM central time.
• Submissions are hidden until the jam is over. If you want to keep your game a secret, this lets you do that without waiting until the last second to submit. You're free to tell everyone what you're working on, though!
• We will have presentations after the Jam on March 28th
• This jam is private to 1904labs, and will not show up publicly in itch.io.

Submissions:

When you're ready to submit your game you must first create a "project" on itch.io. After you've created/uploaded your project you can then return to this page and submit it.

To create a project, click on the dropdown next to your username in itch.io, and select "Upload New Project". This will take you to a wizard that will allow you to upload your game as well as provide details.

You don't need to worry about uploading your project right away, but make sure you set aside some time before the deadline to go through the process. Submissions close on March 27th at 7PM central time!

Presentation:

Presentations will be held March 28th (meeting pending).

Each participant should stick to around (TBD) minutes.
