About

You might be asking “what’s so special about the GEJ?” Well it’s just a traditional game jam, but the biggest twist is that you are not allowed to use a Game Engine! What we define as a game engine is a program that simplifies game development by putting the majority of the work into the interface. Without an engine, you would have to program all this into place. On the bright side, you are allowed to work with Frameworks and libraries, but we will come back to that. The purpose behind this is to challenge ourselves to make games that are more resource friendly, or make it easier to make a specific type of game!

FOOD!!!

Jam Rules

1. The game must not be made in a game engine (Unity, Game Maker, Unreal Engine, etc.). This means you will need to program it with something like C++, JavaScript, etc.

    1a. Frameworks are allowed as long as they don’t give a graphical interface (Love2D, Pygame, etc.)

    1b. Libraries are also allowed too (p5.js, etc.), but you must mention that you used a library in your game

2. Both solo and Teams are allowed. We recommend not making too big of a team though lol

3. No NSFW content AT ALL!!!

4. Your game must have a source code for proof of honesty that you did not use a game engine

4. Have Fun! Don’t worry too much!

5. Read the Rules \:P

We have a discord server too!
