Welcome to the Australia Jam!

Theme: Australia

Goal: Create anything (game, music, audio, art, models) Australia related.

No rankings, no judgement, just create and share your stuff. 

Submit as many things as you want!

The jam ends one week before Christmas.

This jam is designed for Australian developers and artists to come out of the woodwork and show their stuff. The jam is open to anyone around the world, just stick to the theme.

A horror game about drop bears? Yes! A music track of you playing the didgeridoo? Yes please! Rigged 3d kangaroo model? Yes! An animation of prawns on a barbie? Sounds awesome! Show us your skill!

FAQ:

Can I use AI? Only if you justify it's use, plant trees to offset the environmental damage and pay the artists it copied from (with proof.) So maybe don't.

I'm not in Australia or an Australian, can I still join? Yes, please do!

Do I have to stick to the theme? Yes please.

Is this ranked? No, there is no pressure.

Why is it so long? Why not just make it endless? You can submit more than one thing, or one big thing, deadlines are important.

Can I start working on my projects before the jam starts? Yes! Start now! Maybe you've already started something you want to continue.

Is this jam open to solo? teams? Beginners? Yes! Open to all skill levels and all make ups of teams or one man armies.

Can I submit projects from other jams? If it fits the theme, yes!

Where can I look for teams? Get help? Talk with Aussies? Go to the community page tab for this jam.

Can my project be NSFW? No, keep it clean. Horror games are fine but no hate, harmful or sexual content is allowed. 

Can my content be paid? If you feel you have worked hard enough and the quality is good enough then it's up to you. Making things free contributes to the community and gets more eyes though.

Join now and show off your skills, learn and grow, get more Australia into the world!
