Moving on, the reason I created this Jam is to expose the "niche" genre to more people. But also an excuse to make Bullet hell.
"I want too join but I can't code, draw, etc ." Hey. It's okay; I understand. Here's a guide. Download the "NO-CODE" engine Gdevelop. It'll take less then a day to understand the UI and Visual Coding. Next, specifically focus on your talents. Only talented at art and don't have time to study. Go ahead and make a simple Danmaku. and focus on the art direction. This goes for anything, Be like ZUN and just make an album with a free game included. And sorry to assume, but don't be stressed out about FOMO, make a game, have fun.
THEME: Pinball
You know those pinball machines from Little Caesars? Yeah imagine that, but as a bullet hell.
Browser games
Highly suggested to have a ready-to-play browser version of your game. Increases the chance of people playing your Danmaku and not fear a virus has just been installed.
Rules
i No discrimination.
ii Lewdness is allowed, such as having more exposed skin. But don't make full on porn.
iii You have to make a Danmaku / Bullet Hell. "But I only know how to make stardew-valley clones." Alright? Make a stardew-valley inspired game and include hypnotic bullet patterns.
iv AI usage, Challenge yourself! You got this, it may get uncomfortable but we only improve through sorrow. And yes I know ZUN himself used AI, but let's exclude that as a justification.
v You have to create the game during the submission window.
