Welcome to my game jam specifically made for the 2024 alumni UQAT students! In this jam, you will have 2 weeks to produce a project linked to one of the themes listed below!
The point of the jam is to allow you to create a small project, using some creative juices to maybe add something to your portfolio and make something that you can be proud of!
It is recommended that you work in a team but working alone is possible too. Just make sure to have an Itch.Io account so you can publish the game for the jam.
It is recommended to keep track of the time used to produce the project, a game produced in two days and a game that used the whole two weeks will not be evaluated on the same standards.
----
Here are the “mechanics” used as themes, some are harder than others, they can be interpreted in any way you want for your project, either narrative or gameplay:
- Hiding
- Crafting or Building
- Bouncing
- Possession
- Unusual gravity
- Different or Dual perspectives
- Size change
- Looping
----
Rules:
- You can only start working on the actual game project after the submission period starts, but you can start planning and creating/gathering assets and other resources before that time.
- There's no restriction on the Engine, Libraries or Framework you can use to develop your game. Feel free to use Godot, Unity, Unreal Engine, Game Maker Studio, Construct, Adventure Game Studio, RPG Maker or anything else you want.
- You can use premade assets, so long as you have the rights/license to use them, abide by their Terms of Use and give credit.
- Your game must incorporate the Theme in some way.
- Abide by itch.Io’s Terms of Service.
- Provide content warnings for your game if needed. This includes marking the game as Adult Content if it's necessary.
