Hey! It's a private game jam for us cool folks!

The RULES:

• Use any edition of RPG Maker available on Steam to make your game (2000, 2003, XP, VX, VX Ace, MV, MZ).
• Use only the graphics and sound effects that come bundled with RPG Maker (the "RTP").
• Scripting is okay. It's just writing after all. But don't  use other people's scripts/plugins.
  • MV comes with some bundled community plugins in the RTP. Those are okay.
• Make your game entirely within the time period.
  • Prep work like plot outlining, character ideas, etc. is okay, as is setting up your work environment (git repo, etc.).
  • Don't touch the actual game project in RPG Maker before the jam starts.
    • Don't try to be cute and make stuff in a different project and copy it over when the jam starts.
• Work alone.

The THEME:

Use any of these as a theme:

• Steak
• Past
• Alive
• Damn
• Sale

The JUDGING:
