Bevy Spooky Jam is a casual game jam to create a game in the Bevy Engine over the month of October. If there's enough interest, I will turn this format into a monthly jam.
The jam starts on the first Friday of October (01/04), and runs for 23 days (three weeks plus a weekend). This is designed so that we can have a week at the end of the month dedicated to relaxing and playing each other's games.
Theme: Eldritch
The voting was contentious but "Eldritch" won out.
Make something maddening, or cosmic, or incomprehensible. It can inspire horror, confoundment, or just make you feel small.
Rating
This jam is judged by the participants. During the rating period (the week following the submission deadline), please take the time to rate and comment on the other entries. We are all here to hone our craft, so feedback and critiques are welcome as long as they are constructive. Please communicate compassionately.
Community
This jam is pretty impromptu, and we do not have a dedicated discord yet. For the time being, we are using the #jam and #jam-find-a-team channels on the official Bevy Discord.
Rules
Prizes:
This is all sort of last minute, but I'll buy a steam copy of Tiny Glade for the first place winner (sent to the submitting email).
Update: @ThierryBerger has graciously offered to contribute a deck of their physical Bevy-Themed Cards as an additional prize. They are finalizing the production of this deck as part of the jam, and you will receive a free copy from the first printing run. As such, we will offer a ranked choice of prizes for the top N winners, where N is the size of the prize pool.
Note: I (the organizer) plan on participating in this jam. In the interest of fairness, my submission will be disqualified from any awards or prizes.
