Welcome to the third edition of the Flame Game Jam! 🔥
Closing stream:
Check the following link if you have problems creating a web build for your Itch submission:

Main theme (everyone has this): Hot & Cold

The game jam will focus on the Flame game engine, which is built on top of Flutter, a cross-platform framework that allows developers to create native applications for multiple platforms like Android, iOS, Web, and Desktop.
This game jam will allow us to gather feedback from our community while also giving something back in the form of prizes. The game jam will have a theme that will constrain the teams in how they can create their game. We will announce the theme at the start of the game jam period in a live stream on our YouTube Channel.

Rules
- Teams: You can join in as a team (being solo or up to 5 people), but you can only join a single team.
- Game submission: The game must be submitted on the Jam's Itch.io page. The entry must include a Web Build embedded on Itch.io (Preferable) or an Android build (APK). The submission page must also include instructions on how to play the game and preferably some screenshots of the game.
- Jam dynamics: All the work on the game’s development must be done within the given Jam period and only by members of the team; any work done outside that period will result in disqualification.
- Assets: You can use assets not made by you or your team as long as those assets are free or were legally purchased and their licenses allow their use in open source projects, and are credited in-game. It is also allowed to use AI generated assets as long as the model only has been trained on free/open assets.
- Packages: The game must be made in Flutter with the latest Flame version (v1.11.0 or v1.12.0), any other packages/libraries are also allowed to be used as long as they have an open source license.
- Code access: All entries must be open source and the submission must include a link to the game source code.
- Friendly content: None of the following content is allowed in the games:
- Extreme NSFW, sexual content, or excessive and extreme use of gore/violence.
- Hateful content, including violence, threats, and discrimination against other people (For example discrimination based on ethnicity, nation, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religion, age, disability, or diseases).
- Flame's code of conduct can't be breached.
Theme
The theme will be announced on the opening stream.
Rating
Judging of the entries will be done by the core Flame team. Below, you can find the criteria and how they will be judged. Each criterion will receive a rating from 0 to 5 and the final score of the entry will be an arithmetic average of all the criteria.
- Graphics: How good the game looks visually. It doesn't matter which art style is chosen, as long as it's appealing and consistent across the game. If the team hasn't made the art from scratch during the Jam, this criterion has a top score of 3. It is also allowed to use AI generated assets as long as the model only has been trained on free/open assets, and the top score for this category then also has a max of 3.
- Audio: How good the game sounds, both in sound effects and music. If the team hasn't composed the audio themselves from scratch during the Jam, this criterion has a top score of 3.
- Game Design: How well the game mechanics work and how good the gameplay is. For example: Are the controls good and easy to understand? Are the rules of the game clear? And most importantly, is the game fun?
- Theme: How well the theme and the limitations were used in the game. For example: can the theme be identified? Was it used in a clever way? It is important to mention that the theme doesn't need to be interpreted literally; a creative interpretation may grant a good score on this criterion.
Prizes
We are offering cash prizes for the top winners, i.e., for the teams with the highest ratings. The prizes will be transferred via PayPal (or other similar services if, for some reason, PayPal cannot be used). There will also be 20 Dash plushies up for grabs! 😍
If a tie happens, the untying criteria will be the date and time of the entry submission; the entry that was submitted first will be chosen as the winner. The prize will be transferred to one of the members of the team (chosen by the team) and the team will be responsible for the division of the prize among its members.
1st place: $300 + $300 worth of snackboxes (max 6)
2nd place: $150 + $150 worth of snackboxes (max 3)
3rd place: $50 + $50 snackbox (only one)
The prize values are what we send to the winners, the received monetary value may not be the full prize due to fees from the service used.
There will also be some really nice gift cards for the top teams, provided by Invertase. 💙
The judges (Flame team) are of course not eligible to participate in the ranking or receive prizes.
