This Jam is for the hardcore gamers who still walk [or sit] among us. It's committed to the concept, as articulated by the Gaming Brit, that Challenge is the core of what makes Games a captivating Art Form. If you are not sweating, bleeding, struggling, or grinding for it, is it even worth it? No.

The challenge is, therefore, not for Developers to put more effort in so that the players have to put less effort in. The more you work, the more your player has to work. Go crazy with designing your mechanics so that we have to GO HARD to reach the finish line.

• Submissions may belong to ANY GENRE, using any format for developing intense mechanics.
• This Event includes a SHOWCASE and a COMPETITION.
  • Games submitted to the SHOWCASE may have been developed PRIOR to the JAM but won't be qualified for VOTING.
  • Games submitted to the COMPETITION must all be developed DURING the JAM Period of August 21st to the 4th of September.
• Winning games may be streamed by the hosts.
• The THEME [has been revealed] is OPTIONAL but HELPFUL to INCLUDE.

Live for the Grind; die by the Grind.
