So let's start with the obvious, what is a game jam?
A game jam is an event with a set start and end date where people try to make video games from scratch. In our case you are allowed to work in teams, but also individually.
The game has to correspond with a theme which will be announced at the start of the game jam. At the end of the jam, you can submit your games after which we the organizers will play all of the games on a stream with live commentary. We will then pick our favourites for each category.
There are different categories for which you can become a favourite (think of "most original" or "most technical") which will be announced at the start of the jam. You as a jammer will also be able to play and vote on your favourite submissions of others jammers up to 2 days after the jam's end, which will then become the "Jammer's choice".
If you aren't able to finish your game before the end of the jam, no problem! You can still submit your game later and although you may not be able to make it to our picks, others can still play and vote on your game for the "Jammer's choice"
Let's just get out some of the organizational rules:
- Respect each other
- Don't be an troll
- Banned topics: political, controversial, and NSFW topics
- All phobic, racist, sexist comments, or slangs are immediate bans
- Nicknames, emotes, avatars, status, and general conversation should be SFW
- Any and all illegal activities committed or promoted in this server is prohibited
Now as for the submissions:
- General rules for this server apply to the content of your submission as well.
Team Sizes:
- You can work in teams or on your own
- There are no limitations on group size, but we recommend a team size of 3 to 4 people
Submissions:
- Submissions should be submitted before the submission deadline, which is 20th of February at 20:00
- Each submission should be submitted using one itch.io account. In the case you are working as a team, only one member needs to submit
- Submissions can still be submitted after the submission deadline up till Monday the 21st 20:00 so we and other game jammers can still play and vote on your game, however, you will be excluded from our personal picks.
After The Jam:
- After the deadline there will be a showcase (with beer?) where you can show off your games
- Submissions can also be voted on by game jammers to win the "Jammer's choice" picks from Sunday 20th 20:00 till Friday 25th 20:00.
Alright, you're ready to get going, now get out of this garden!
