This game jam is running from 12:00 AM November 1st UTC to 11:59 PM November 30th UTC. Voting
will end two weeks later at 11:59 PM December 14th UTC.
The Theme is... Atrophy!
Atrophy - Progressive degeneration or shrinkage. Some part of your game is wasting away, perhaps it's the character, perhaps the world, or perhaps it's the very mechanics of the game world falling apart.
Rules and Limitations
- Keep your submission SFW
- Malicious code will result in a ban
- Submissions must be compatible with Windows, Linux, or MacOS (So, no Temple OS games)
- You must have the license to any premade art, sound, and code assets that you use
- You may use code or assets from a tutorial, but the game as a whole must be yours
Otherwise, you may use any game engine, framework, library, or programming language you want.

I want to participate but I don't know what I should use!
Well, here are a some suggestions! This list is sorted, approximately, from the most popular to the least popular.
Simple Game Engines
These engines are designed for beginners who either don't know code at all or know very little. Most of them offer a drag-and-drop visual scripting method.
Advanced Game Engines
These game engines are more powerful, however, they are also more complex. They provide most of the components a game dev might need.
Game Frameworks
Game frameworks provide a thin layer on top of the OS's components and let the game developer do most of the work.
