Rules

These are the main rules of the DINOJAM:

1. You must use the main theme "dinosaurs" in your game in any form you'd like

2. An optional theme will be provided on day one. It is optional so you don't have to use it if you don't want to, but we highly recommend it since the optional theme is part of the creativity criteria for ranking

3. You can work solo or in a team. If you're looking for teammates you can post in the jam community forum or use the #find-a-team channel on our Discord server

4. Your entry must be created during the jam duration. You can use general purpose code created before the jam (like character controls, menus, project templates, AI librairies, etc).

5. You can use free available assets (including paid ones) like art, music, sound, general-purpose source code, but please remember to credit all assets used including your own work. You can credits people on your game page or even better in-game.
