I'm not going to go too harsh on the rules, but please make sure to follow the following rules.

1. Make the core game within the time period, you can use scripts and assets you have created before but make the actual game within the time period allotted.

2. If you are going to use any public, or non original assets, please credit them properly.

3. Please do not make any NSFW or extremely inappropriate games.

4. You may work solo, or in a team.

5. Honestly rate other submissions. Don't just give everything a 1 star thinking it will increase your chances. I will be monitoring suspicious voting activity.

6. You may use any engine, or program to make your game

7. By submitting a game to this jam you are giving me permission to use footage of your game on my YouTube channel.

1. Manage your time well, you only will have 72 hours to make a game so focus on the core mechanics, and don't spend too long on one certain thing you may not even need.

2. Make sure to submit your game in time, it is recommended that you start to submit at least 15 minutes before the deadline, if not more.

3. If you are looking for a team you can head over to the discord server's #find-a-team channel.
