What is a Game Jam?

A Game Jam is when several developers come together over a short period to create a game project. Generally, game jams have restrictions or specific direction (themes) to help guide the design and inspire the developers.

Furry Game Jam will last nine days and aims to encourage the creation of more games within the furry community.

Theme

BLOCKED

You can interpret this theme however you may like for your submission, but as a few ideas;

• Blocked can be interpreted as a visual style, blocking out scenes, blocky visuals, voxel art, etc!
• The player is BLOCKED somehow and has to find a way to break through or persevere.
• Blocked in the more social aspect of the word

Setup

All communications will be done via the FurryGameJam Discord server, and a space will be provided to join or create a team. You can also participate solo, but teaming up is highly recommended!

Here, you can find resources to guide you through making a game, even if this is your first time!

Voting

The public will be able to vote on submissions based on five categories, those being:

• Interpretation of the Theme
• Art Direction
• Audio (Music and Sound)
• Narrative
• Gameplay
