Rules:

  • Game must be playable with a recommended playtime of 10-20 min
  • Game must be able to be compiled to HTML
    • Most popular game engines today have the capability to do this; please ask the hosts if you're unsure if your engine does or not.
  • No generative AI art
  • Must be SFW (no 18+ art or themes)
  • Must be stream-friendly (no artwork or music that you do not own the rights to or that is not owned by Hololive/Cover)
  • All game content must adhere to the Cover Fan Works Guidelines
  • All game content must adhere to the itch.io Terms of Service
  • All game assets must be licensed freely for commercial use, custom made specific for your game, or provided by the game jam hosts

Note: Failure to abide by the above rules will result in your submission being disqualified from the jam. The hosts reserve the right to remove/disqualify any submission from the jam if deemed inappropriate according to their judgement.

Teams:

We have a spreadsheet going to help pair people with an idea for a game with people that are looking for a team. Please read the info tab and then fill out the relevant page with your info.

If you have an idea for a game, be sure to also put in a topic on the community page about your idea to help others that are interested in working on a team have an idea of what they may be getting into.


Other Notes

  • While the game jam mentions voting, there will not actually be voting on submissions for this jam. We're using the Ranked functionality for content moderation purposes. The jam will be converted to non-ranked after Kiara's birthday is over.
  • Working in teams is highly encouraged and recommended.
  • Highly recommended to create/fill out a Game Design Document before starting on your game to ensure you have a clear goal and direction of what you want your game to be.
  • The KFP Office Discord will be available for voice chat, and a few KFP Office Staff will be available to answer any questions about whether content for your game is acceptable or any other discussion related to the jam.
  • Game assets such as sprites and artwork can be prepared ahead of the jam.
  • If you or your team is new to game development, it is recommended to work with a 2D game and start with a very small concept and then build from there as time allows. Try not to get too caught up in building something big right away.

Disclaimer: While our hope is to put together a collection of fan-made games that Kiara could play on stream around her birthday, there is no guarantee that any of the games made will be played or mentioned on stream. Our promise is that we will provide the collection to Cover to review for a potential stream for Kiara. Anything more than that will be outside of the hands of the hosts of this jam.
