Attention: To make this Jam more FUN be sure to tell your friends to participate by creating a game and or voting. The more participants the better the outcome of The Spectre Game Jam.

Interested in the Jam but do not know how to make games, that's fine. You can still participate by voting. Hopefully these Jams will inspire you to learn to make games and participate in Jams to come.

Games need to be submitted for either the Windows, Linux, and or Mac platform. I use Linux (Ubuntu) so if you want your game personally reviewed by me make sure its capable to work for Linux. Otherwise ratings will be based on other peoples reviews and description of the game, so if you do not use Linux try to post videos and pictures of your game too. It is recommended to make the game in Java so it is multi-platform based. Also when making your game teams are allowed.

The Spectre Game Jam is a brand new game Jam that is going to be hosted the first seven days of each month. At the end of each Jam participants and viewers are going to be able to vote for their favourite games for next two weeks. After that the voting has ended the top 10 games will be shown on the home page. The other games will be on a side page.

At the beginning of the Jam a theme will be posted and the gaming developing can begin. Each day a new theme will be posted, these themes will be subthemes. These subthemes will not be required, but the more subthemes used then the higher the game is on the list on the voting page, so more likely it will be seen and voted.

There will be winners for each subtheme, the theme, and some other usual topics in games. For now their are no awards for winning other than feeling good, being on the home page, and did I forget to mention that the winner of the theme award gets to choose a subtheme for the next Spectre Game Jam.

DUE to this being the first Spectre Game Jam some of the rules on voting and ratings could be changed since I am not sure exactly how it works. If this Jam does good and progresses, I may get a site for this jam where the voting and rating system will be controlled by me. So if if the rating and voting is different then what is said above this is why.
