Got a question about Anomaly Zone Game Jam?
Ask here! :)

Hello! This jam looks super fun, I'm a big fan of the Roadside Picnic/Stalker genre. I was wondering how judging works for this jam? Like the judging timeline, number of judges, etc.

Hi! Please, read:

https://itch.io/jam/anomaly-zone-game-jam/topic/5486121/dditional-themes

How long does the game have to be?

Host

At your discretion

Host

Update theme "GAME REQUIREMENTS". 

If we would like to submit a game as a team, do all team members need to join the jam or is 1 itch io account enough? :)

Host

One account is enough. :)

"One vote from the team.

The scores are set by the person from whose account the game was sent. 

We recommend that you consult with the team and decide what ratings you give to the games of other participants.

One vote from the team will help to avoid unfair play, when members of any team may intentionally give low marks to other games. This will negatively affect the overall assessment."

Host

Update toipic GAME REQUIREMENTS: We have a sponsor and a prize. And the rule "One vote from the team".

New topic Team registration.

Host

Prizes and voting- now separate topics.

New topic: Our Discord (organizers)

Additional themes:

1. Important cargo
2. He was here
3. Secure, Contain, Protect

At least one of the three must be used in your game. Along with the main theme - an anomaly zone.

Also, don't forget: the game must be in the post-apocalyptic genre. Additional genres are allowed: horror, steampunk, fantasy, etc. But the main genre is post-apocalyptic.
