 FAQ 

Can I use Game Engines And Tools? Yes! Game engines and tools such as Shader Forge for Unity are perfectly fine and encouraged. 

Do I have to create the art? The art must be created by the individual or team entering into the game jam. Downloading assets and using them for your game will not be accepted for the game jam. 

Do I have to create the music? Since this game jam is more relaxed music will not be rated. Feel free to make your own or download some!

What platform can I develop for? Windows/Mac/Linux are supported, I personally will be judging games using a windows 10 machine. Web games are also supported. 

How big can a team be? You can make a team of any size, an individual can enter or a team can enter. I suggest only working with a maximum of three people as it can be hard to manage bigger teams in game jam events.  

When does the rating end? The rating ends on the 24th, the winners will be announced on  31 May 2019.

Getting in the show reel: To get in the show reel upload a 10 - 20 second video showing off your game on the itch.io thread at the end of the jam. I'll download this video and add it into the video. If you do not post a video your game will not be in the show reel. Make sure to use something like obs as videos with watermarks will not be added in.  Can't find an answer?
