Rules

• Must use at least two of the October 2024 “Free for the Month” asset packs on the Epic Store*. Extra points will be given for use of three or more of the asset packs.
• Game must be made and submitted within the timeline. Late submissions will not be accepted.
• You must have a valid license for any assets used in your game (including fonts). Any pre-made asset may be used as long as the game itself is made within the timeline.
• Teams are limited to three participants.
• No AI created content is permitted. This is hard to enforce, so I am requesting that participants are honest. Entries won't be disqualified for using AI unless it is egregious.
• No NSFW content. This includes, but is not limited to: nudity or sexual content, profanity, use of drugs or alcohol. Violence and gore should be reasonable.
