Rules

No NSFW Content!

No AI-generated Content!

Games MUST be uploaded to itch.io - no dropbox, google drive, etc.

You will NOT be given extra time to submit. You have 3 months to work on and then submit your game.

Your game MUST be playable on a Windows PC. Whether as an executable or as an HTML 5 file. It must also use either mouse/keyboard controls, an Xbox controller, or if a VR game, be usable using an Oculus Rift S (It's HIGHLY recommended to use OpenXR to ensure compatibility with all major VR headsets).

You CAN use pre-existing content, but you can NOT use pre-existing content created FOR this Jam. You MUST have the legal right to use ALL content within your game, this means you're welcome to use content within the Public Domain, or content that requires attribution (as long as you attribute within your games page)

Games CANNOT require extra software aside from what's required for running VR if your game is VR compatible.

Eligibility

You MUST be over the age of 16 to submit, otherwise get a parent or guardian to upload for you!

There is NO team member limit, however we recommend a max of 6 people.

Only ONE person needs an itch.io account, however you're welcome to add your team members as contributors/admins.

Your game cannot have been made for another game jam as this breaks the spirit of the game jam.
