BEHOLD the 7th Vaultacular Game Jam!!
This month-long (and a bit) game development challenge is open to developers of all experience levels, with a special emphasis on beginners joining their very first jam. Whether you want to create a small visual novel or have enough time to flesh out a game idea that has been rattling around in your brain, this jam is perfect for you!

This is your chance to create, learn, and have fun while connecting with a fantastic community of artists, developers, and amazing people to  create something exciting.

Rules:

- Games must be developed within the Jams time frame: April 2nd - May 20th.

- Post-submission updates and bug fixes are allowed, BUT all changes must be clearly stated on your game's Itch page.

- Avoid NSFW content or excessive gore: this isn’t the vibe.

- Provide a web build if possible with your game engine; while not mandatory, it makes it easier for people to play and test your game.

- No AI art or AI auto-generated games.

- Original assets are encouraged! However, pre-made assets can be used as long as they are credited in the game’s description.

- Follow the theme and rules provided.

- Non-compliant games will be removed from the jam.

- Like last time team size cannot exceed 25 people: Ideally, 1-5 people on a team works best.
