Do I have to use a specific engine or tool?
Feel free to flex your creative muscles. No limits on the tools you use - pick any game engine, art software, or audio recorder (DAW) that sparks your genius. [NOTE: Make sure that when you submit to the jam the game is player in either .exe or on a web browser]
Do I have to make everything myself?
You may use game assets that you have rights to use (Purchased, Free, Original assets), This goes for Art and Music. Using free assets or getting a coding assist is A-OK. [PLEASE do not submit a game you've already started earlier or even finished for other projects! ] NO AI Generated ART/Music/Code, you can use AI to help assist but it must not make the bulk of your code/art/music or be reliant on it.
Is there a maximum team size?
Nope! But we recommend keeping your team somewhat small to help keep communication simple. The suggested Team Size is 5 or less, but there is no limit to team size.
Can We Work on multiple projects?
As long as they were all started during the jam period! It's HIGHLY recommend spending your time working and polishing one game instead of trying to make multiple games
