NOTICE! I held a vote in the Jam server and it was unanimously decided that the jam should be extended until the end of September.
The contents of the Jam page have been left unchanged for preservation reasons, however keep in mind that the time frame listed below is now incorrect.

Hiya! I'm Strawberry Fox, and welcome to the second annual Lewdie Jam!

This is a jam where those who enter are tasked to make a horny game during August!

Psst! If you're joining the jam, consider joining the Discord! https://discord.gg/Y3mmVzhnvt

Also, I'd like to thank Craft Rabbit for doing the illustrations on the jam page!!

Theme

As already stated, the theme of the jam is "Horny", so that means anything that's at least somewhat sexual/kinky in nature.

I know a lot of big Game Jams like to introduce a theme as a restriction, but I don't want developers to be limited! However, if you're struggling to think of something, try this!
Also "horny" can be whatever you want it to be!
Do you have an idea for a game that you could probably get away with playing on the bus? Great!
Do you just wanna make the horniest, raunchiest smut you can? Great!

Rules

Okay, before you all get too excited, I think I should lay out a few rules!

I will dish out a warning if you break these rules.

• Please mark your submission as having sensitive content. (Depending on the game's contents, it might not be necessary to label it as having sensitive content. I'll determine whether submissions need to be on a case-by-case basis.)

Your entry will be removed if you break any of the following rules.

• Don't submit games that are off topic. (Submissions that appear to be spam or otherwise out of place.)
• I don't mind if you start a few days early, but don't submit something that you started months ago or finished before the jam.
• Don't submit AI generated content.

If you break one of the following rules, you will be permanently blacklisted!

• We have zero tolerance for minors in this jam. No minors making games for the jam and no minors in the games themselves.
  
• Don't spam your game into a bunch of game jams.
  
• Don't break Itch T.O.S.

These lists aren't exhaustive. I will expand them if I feel pressured to do so.

Voting

Yeah, that's right! Entries are voted on and ranked! Everything's low-stakes and the only prizes amount to nothing more than bragging rights.

There are several categories that entries will be ranked on;

• Horniness! Does the game make you feel like you need to slip away for a moment? Can you at least understand how someone else could possibly find it horny?
• Fun! Is the game actually fun to play, or would you rather file your taxes?
• Game Feel! Is the game juicy or does it feel like a piece of bread that's been left on the counter overnight?
• Uniqueness! Is the game pushing adult media to new amazing heights, or do you feel like you've already played it before?

All of these categories will be used to calculate an overall score!
You can try to get the overall highest score or min-max a specific category if you'd like! Hell, it's not even a requirement to score high! It's your game~ Go nuts!

As for the prize, I will be giving out Discord roles!
There's a role for each category and one for the dev whose submission gets the highest overall score!

Also, it's worth noting that only the latest category winners will have the shiny cool role, past winners get a role that indicates that they've previously won a category.

A few things to consider when making/submitting your game;

• If you only publish a Windows build, then it's unlikely that you'll get votes from Linux/Mac users.
  If you can, you should submit Windows, Mac and Linux builds.
• VR games and physical games will likely get less votes due to how inaccessible they can be, however not all games can work in a regular desktop setup, so do what feels right.
• Only submitters and contributors can vote, so if your entry was made by a team, make sure to add the other members as contributors.

Game Engines

There are no restrictions on what engine you can use!
Unreal, Gamemaker, Godot, Clickteam Fusion, Construct, Twine, Bitsy, GB Studio, Ren'py, RPG Maker, Pico-8!
HELL, you could even make a horny mod for a game!

You can use anything you want or even your own hand-crafted engine if you're a masochist. (Maybe you're into that?)
