This jam is now over. It ran from 2023-11-13 05:00:00 to 2023-11-30 05:00:00.

--CI Gamers Club Fall 2023 Game Submissions--

The games being made this semester must be uploaded by November 27th, 2023, regardless of progress (it’s okay if it’s still a prototype!). However, this jam will be open until November 30th to allow for last-minute changes or touches. Remember you can always update the game later, so it is best to upload early and make changes later on.

How To Upload

To do this, at least one person in your team must have an itch.io account (Just click on the register button on the top right of the main itch.io page). Before submitting to this jam, that person will need to upload the game to itch.io first with their account (You can see more information on how to do that here). Once that's done, click the "Join Jam" button on this page. You will be prompted to choose an existing project to upload to this jam. Fill out any other details on the submit form as needed and hit "Submit" to post the game onto the jam.

Before You Submit

Make sure your game has these things on its settings:

  • The game's title
  • Tags: Please add the ci-gamers-club-uky tag to your game so that it can be easily found by those wanting to see games made in the CI Gamers Club.
  • Screenshots: Upload 3-5 of the game’s gameplay for best results.
  • Classification: Whatever your game’s state is (Prototype, In Development, Release, etc).
  • Kind of Project: Usually a downloadable or HTML5.
  • Payment: No Pricing (per Club Policy).
  • Details (Description): Make sure to include credits to team members and assets used (if license requires credit)
