Lorky Jam is a 72 hour video game jam held every month on Itch.io.
The theme of the jam is announced around the day the jam is published and is visible in the title. In the time before the jam starts you can come up with an idea and concept for your game, BUT you can only start development after the jam has started. The main thing to remember is that you must be creative, it is very welcome. Also you can deviate a little from the jam idea and use your own, but in the same branch. The theme of this jam is VHS.
Don't worry that you won't be able to post exactly in the development period, you can post your game during the voting period which is 7 days after the development period.
LIMINATION
The limitation is a special condition that your game must follow, but is open to interpretation. If you are unsure if your idea doesn't fit the limitation, just remember that everyone will interpret it differently.
The limitation will be announced when the jam starts. You can vote for, and suggest new limitations in our Discord Channel

RULES
Rules:
Read the rules. Not reading the rules is not an excuse for breaking them.
Keep game content clean. Any and all NSFW content, potentially offensive content, graphic content etc. must be clearly telegraphed with a content warning at the start of the game as well as in it's description or cover.
Answer submission questions honestly. You will be prompted to answer a few questions when submitting your game. Please answer them to the best of your ability. Giving vague answers is a great way to set off red flags.
Any games that do not follow the rules will be removed from the jam without warning.
OUR WORDS
So, before the jam starts and during the jam process, the whole Lorky team, or rather one me - Ivan, would like to wish all participants good luck and thank you for your support this jam!
