Welcome to the GameDevHQ Community Game-Jam!
This community jam is an opportunity for people to develop a game in a short amount of time. It's a personal challenge where you will improve your skill and be able to show a finished product to friends and family.

As a bonus for this year's jam, every participant will get a one-month free trial to use Filebase for you to use when making your game! More information on that will come in the weeks before the jam is set to start.

The Prizes
Overall Winner: Lifetime access to Filebase
Category Winners: 1-year access to Filebase

Please note that although we allow people to form teams, only one team member will be able to claim the prizes.

The Theme
The theme for this year's jam is Running out of time!!

What tools am I allowed to use?
GameDevHQ's target focus is Unity and therefore the engine of choice is Unity. Apart from that, you may use any tools to create your art and sound assets for your project if you won't be using pre-made assets.

What assets am I allowed to use?
The majority of the work should be done during the jam, but you're allowed to use any assets you may need.

Rules

• Your game has to be made in the time frame given.
• You must use Unity as your game engine.
• You are allowed to update your game after it's submitted (granted for bug fixes).
• No NSFW, offensive content or excessive gore/violence is allowed.
• You are allowed to use pre-made assets.
• Your game must include the default Unity splash screen.

The most important thing throughout the jam is to have fun and enjoy your time. Don't feel pressured to deliver in a short time - it's the reason the jam is a week long. Game jams are meant to be a fun way to practice, experiment with new ideas and meet new people.
