-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How To Take Part

Sign Up *Here*

Reserve your team's place on our Luma page. Only the team leader signs up, on behalf of the team. 

Build Your Game 

Make a playable game during the jam. Existing engines, assets and AI tools are allowed, as long as you credit them. 

Submit 

Your team lead submits the team name, contact details, GitHub repository and itch.io page.


Prizes $$$

Prizes are chosen to open doors beyond the jam, not just to reward the games itself.

- Base 2 Office Space, 3 months free: a real desk to keep building after the jam ends.

- ENCOM Conference Pass & DLD Munich 27 Conference Pass: face time with the people who decide what ships next.

- ELO Mentorship: direct access to mentors who can open doors.


Rules §§§

Platform & Build 

  • PC, Windows only. 
  • Keyboard and mouse. The game must be fully playable with a keyboard and mouse. 
  • Any engine or development platform is allowed. 
  • You submit a playable build, not a prototype description or a video. 
  • Keep it within the spirit of the jam: no hateful, discriminatory or illegal content.

Made During the Jam

  • The game itself must be created during the jam, by your team. Do not bring a game you built beforehand. 
  • Do not submit someone else's work as your own.

Tools, Assets & AI 

  • Teams can use existing engines, libraries, plugins, templates, assets and AI tools.
  • Credit and mark everything external. Any external asset (art, music, sound, fonts, code, templates, plugins) and any use of AI must be credited and clearly marked, on your itch.io page and in your repository.
  • For AI, say which tool you used and what it produced (for example code, art, music, text). 
  • Only use assets you have the right to use.
  • You remain responsible for everything in your submission, including AI-generated material.
