Voting takes place in three rounds, and will conclude just before the jam begins on October 9th.

Voting is now open! Go cast for your votes for a spooky theme:
Round one voting.

Round three voting. Final Round!

Voting closed. Theme will be announced at game jam launch!

• The number one rule is have fun! What's the point if it's not fun?!
• Do not make any game that includes hate speech or NSFW content. It will be removed. Please don't make us have to remove your game - we want everyone to have fun!
• Respect the other participants! Everybody here deserves some respect. For some it might be their very first game or game jam entry, and that's ok! When reviewing the work of others just try to be positive and respectful.
• If you use pre-made assets, code libraries, sprites, 3d models, or otherwise, please give proper credit to the creator in your submission.
• Please stay within the timeframe. We know people get excited, but please wait until the jam starts to start working on assets and code! It's not fair to the other participants if you jump the gun.

• Is there a team member limit? There is no limit to the number of collaborators in a group, but we recommend 1-4 people
• How long is the jam? 7 days!
• What game engines can I use? Any engine is fine; Unity, UE4, Godot, or whatever else you want!
• Can I enter if I've never made a game? Yes! All skill levels are welcome. We absolutely encourage people new to game dev to join up and give it a try!
• Where can I find team members? You can try the community tab here on the jam's itch page. Or better yet, join our discord which is full of people who want to team up with you - head over to the #game-jams channel and type "!teamup".

Entries to this jam will be voted on by the public; anyone is welcome to vote!

Submissions will be judged on five criteria: art style, gameplay, creativity, audio, and how well it fits the theme. So give it your all!

Prizes are:

• First place gets bragging rights to all their friends that they won THE Kindred Community Jam
