What is a GameJam?

A game jam is an event where participants develop games within a limited time frame (in our case, over 3 days). The main goal is to create a prototype or a full-fledged game based on a specific theme or set of conditions.

Indie Jam is a gaming event for indie developers, artists, musicians, screenwriters, and so on. At this event, people can try their hand at creating games, meet people, and just drop in and play games.

Rules

• Deadlines:
  All submissions must be made within the set timeframe of the jam. Late submissions will not be accepted. 
•  Originality: The game must be created from scratch within the duration of the jam. Using pre-made assets and libraries is allowed, but the core game must be developed during the event. 
•  Theme Adherence: The game must follow the theme announced for the jam. The theme can be either specific or abstract, and its interpretation is typically left to the discretion of the developer. 
•  Code of Conduct: Participants must adhere to standards of respectful communication and behavior. Any form of aggression, discrimination, or toxic behavior is strictly prohibited. 
•  Game Rating: After the jam concludes, there will be a voting period. Participants can evaluate each other's games based on various criteria such as gameplay, adherence to the theme, creativity, visuals, and sound. 
•  Use of External Resources: The use of publicly available assets (graphics, sounds, music) is permitted. 
•  Multi-platform Compatibility: Games must be accessible for testing. This generally means that the game should be playable on at least one popular platform (e.g., Windows, macOS, or a web browser). 
•  Cheating and Plagiarism: Any form of cheating, including plagiarism, is prohibited. The game must be unique and original, created during the jam. 
•  Attribution: If you are working in a team, make sure to list all team members on the game's submission page.
