Q. HOW MUCH WORK CAN I DO BEFORE SUBMISSION PERIOD?

A. THINKING ABOUT YOUR GAME AND DOING VERY LIGHT PLANNING BEFOREHAND IS FINE, HOWEVER YOUR GAME MUST BE DEVELOPED DURING THE SUBMISSION PERIOD.

Q. DOES MY GAME HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN ENGINE?

A. NOPE! WE WELCOME GAMES, USING ANY ENGINE. AS LONG AS YOU MAKE IT PLAYABLE IN BROWSER DURING SUBMISSIONS AND VOTING. (YOU CAN CHANGE IT AFTERWARD)

Q. DOES MY GAME HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN TYPE/THEME?

A. THE JAM HAS A  FOCUS ON HORROR-THEMED SUBMISSIONS. HOW YOU INTERPRET THAT IS UP TO YOU, AND WE DON'T REALLY POLICE IT! IN THE SPIRIT OF THE JAM, AS FOR THE THEME, IT'S COMPLETELY OPTIONAL!

Q. CAN I WORK ON MULTIPLE GAMES?

A. AS LONG AS THE GAME WAS STARTED DURING THE JAM PERIOD, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FINE! JUST DON'T OVER-WORK YOURSELF! :D

Q. DOES MY GAME HAVE TO BE FINISHED/POLISHED? CAN I WORK ON THE SUBMISSION AFTERWARDS?

A. NO STRESS! SUBMIT WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT. OF COURSE, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO KEEP WORKING ON THE GAME AFTER THE JAM HAS ENDED, HOWEVER THE JAM WILL BE CLOSED TO NEW UPLOADS UNTIL THE VOTING PERIOD IS OVER.
