HOW TO JOIN IN:

  • This jam is hosted on Itch and open to anyone, but we will be talking and sharing progress / tips etc on on our level design discord here: https://discord.gg/geFkdZW5vp
  • The discord is a private server that you can access by supporting the Patreon (supporting at any tier will instantly grant you lifetime access): https://www.patreon.com/stevelee_gamedev 
  • Discussion, progress sharing, playtesting and postmortem feedback will all happen on the Discord server!

THE THEMES:

  • The two optional themes for this jam are ESCAPE and ILLUSION
  • They're both genuinely optional - you can choose to work with one or both, it's up to you
  • Feel free to interpret the themes as simply or creatively as you like, and in a way that helps you make something cool, instead of making things hard for yourself
  • (And if the themes really don't suit you, then don't worry about it too much and make whatever you like. Also, feel free to return to an old project, and just spend the jam making it better!)

OTHER STUFF:

  • Any submissions that don't look like they were made for this jam will be removed - consider mentioning the jam on your Itch project page if it's not obvious
  • Here's a link to a free blog post on the Patreon with 10 tips for these jams, based on how our previous ones have went: https://www.patreon.com/posts/129750297

Have fun x
