WELCOME TO CALLUM UPTON'S GAME JAM

THEME: HORROR

You can still join the jam after it started.

Due to the amount of new users experiencing a jam for the first time, we decided to go with a more open theme than the original, but if this jam is successful, we plan to host BEGINNER jams for open themes and RESTRICTIVE themes for challenging jams to provide a jam for beginners and professionals.


Callum Upton's Discord & the Game Jam Community Discord: https://discord.gg/callumupton
This jam is hosted by the Community Managers of Callum Upton and approved by Callum Upton himself.

DISCLAIMER: This game jam has no connection  to Callum Upton's project Nightmare World, this jam is for the community's enjoyment & entertainment.

HEALTH WARNING: Do not over scope! DIVIDE your days to plan, build, and polish. ALWAYS have time for polish.

PHASES

DEVELOPMENT-SUBMISSION TIME: 8 days | VOTING TIME: 8 days

How to enter

Click join and make a project that follows the THEME. Don't forget to join our Discord.

BEGINNERS AND PROFESSIONALS ALLOWED: This is a beginner's game jam for our community. Everyone should have enough time to find a game engine they want to use, learn some basics, and to then begin their project when the THEME is revealed. Anyone from nonexperience and professional all have an EQUAL start.

REWARD?

Winners will have their submissions shown LIVE on Twitch and a Discord role will be given.

RANKING:

I feel game jam projects should be ranked on creativity of the developer and entertainment for the player. The basic 3 are to make sure it follows the THEME, it is FUN for the user, and to check if the GAME DESIGN fits well with together.

- THEME: If the project follows the theme and how well it follows it.

- FUN: Is the project fun to play for the user.

- GAME DESIGN: Does the design of the project make sense together.
