Rules and Regulations

Please treat your teammates with respect and compassion. This event is intended to be a fun opportunity to a new project with your fellow students. Please celebrate of the joys and pains of game development together, rather than being against each other, especially when things go wrong.

For a more comprehensive policy, we will defer to the student handbook to govern and guide any decisions surrounding conflicts or issues that occur during the game jam.

Team Requirements

Due to drastic differences between the size of the Game Programming student body compared to other departments, Game Programmers are rare. Game Design students are encouraged to flex to cover some of these roles.

Guidelines for Success

Your only objective is to make games and have fun during the process. Throw process and structure to the wind (mostly) and do whatever it takes to work together on something fun together!

To help you have fun, considering adhering to these tips:

• "Finish" the game early to leave time for polish!
• Collaborate on the game idea; make sure to share the creative process with everyone on the team.
• Start and small and build off of it. Don't try to build everything at once!

Last Year's Game Jam

We also ran this game jam just before Minor Production last year as well. To see what our current 2nd Year students were capable of as 1st Year students (like yourselves), check out their entries.
