Information/Rules:

- Your overall creation MUST be created in the jam time frame. If your work was clearly created before the jam, it will be removed.

- You are allowed to use outside code and outside resources. Make sure to acknowledge what was not created in the time of the jam in your description. Credit people you used resources from please.

- No NSFW works will be accepted

- You are NOT required to follow the themes at all. If you just want to create and submit something, that's fine. This will most likely affect your rating though. 

- You can work solo or in teams of any size. I would personally recommend keeping teams under 5 people for a jam. The larger the team, the harder it will be to coordinate... 

- If your submission is late, reach out to me, and we can sort it out. 

- If there has been any evidence of cheating (results are corrupted), the vote for top submissions will be put to a judges vote.
