Food jam.
Food Jam is a Jam where the overarching theme is, obviously, food.
every food jam has its own specific food for its theme, you must then take this food and make it into a game, regardless of genre.
be it an RPG, a cooking sim, a animal crossing-like, a fighting game, go ahead. have fun, so long as the food is a key-point of the jam.
the jam lasts almost exactly 2 weeks, from October 18th to November 1st. Voting will take place from November 1st to November 8th. I am allowing the Judges to submit their own projects for it, so long as they're sure not to judge their own Projects(for obvious reasons.)
This Jam is moderately un-serious, so please, stay as light-hearted(or heavy-hearted if you wish) as you please.
Any streamers, please, add the tag FoodJam2025 to your stream if you stream your development.
The official discord is at the bottom of this page, if you'd like to join.
