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 ten days and aims to encourage the creation of more games within the furry community.

Theme

📶 SIGNAL

You may interpret this theme however you would like, but here are a few examples of how Signal may be understood:

• Mechanics around sending/receiving or interpreting signals (e.g.: exploring transmissions such as radio or encoded messages)
• Using subtle indicators to hint at hidden elements or upcoming events (signaling something)
• Expressing intent or meaning through actions, patterns, or environmental changes

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!

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

• Interpretation of the Theme
