Note: If you are making a game RIGHT BEFORE the previous jam ands and this jam starts, you are allowed to submit to THIS jam even if you STARTED before the previous jam ended.
Aside from a few basic guidelines, this jam has NO rules! You can use any tools, in any way, at any time.
You can choose to give yourself a theme or not and/or use a theme generator like this one! (Not sponsored :P)
This jam runs for exactly one year, but that isn't so you can work on a game for a year straight!
This jam is meant to allow you to choose timing that works for YOU, as well as how strict you want to be... So whether it be working on a game for 48 hours straight, 72 hours over the course of the month, a prototype over the course of a week, giving yourself UNLIMITED time, or anything in between, you're the boss!
Obviously there have to be a FEW guidelines to keep this jam a safe environment for everyone.
No NSFW/Discriminative content.
If your game has violence, make it OBVIOUS to the player BEFORE they start the game. (AKA include a warning.)
This isn't REQUIRED, but consider adding a horror warning to scary games.
ONLY use assets you have the LEGAL rights to use.
Anyone, at any age, from anywhere, can join.
Be sure to check out last year's jam! It ends the day this jam starts!
