THEME: Ten Seconds, One Button, Right Person In The Wrong Game Genre

Uh, hi, College classmates.

This is the game jam thing that Cameron S has been talking to y'all about.

So here be the rules (there aren't many):

• The theme will be revealed on the day of the jam.
  • Please send theme ideas to Cameron S, the theme is gonna be a combination of three ideas chosen at random.
• Everything must be made during the jam.
  • You can use any software/hardware you want to make it, though. I don't expect you to make the things you'll use to make the things.
• Teams of between 1-4 people, please. Solo it or join up with a few other College folks, I don't care, but no more than 4 per team to keep it fair.
• Y'all can rate each others' entries once they're up.
  • Categories will be as follows:
    • Graphics
    • Gameplay
    • Theme
    • Coherence
      • Will explain this last one. Some of you will know that for the College game jam at the actual College, the game that won was just kind of a regular platformer with the amnesia theme slapped on top of it. This category is basically that - if the gameplay and theme don't blend well together, this would be a low rating. If they blend well together, high rating. Capiche?
  • Please actually rate/vote on stuff. Voting is open to everyone that enters or contributes to an entry.

The jam happens between the 29th of May and the 5th of June, so you have a solid week to figure your shit out.

Voting will be open until the very end of the 9th of June, so that gives you extra time to figure that shit out and play people's games.
