You can submit any amount of projects. Is it doable? That's up to you or the team.
2. What are the allowed build/export platforms?
Desktop (Windows, Mac or (and) Linux) and WebGL/HTML5 games. Preferably go with a platform like WebGL for better accessibility and more visibility. No APKs please. (nobody will install them).
3. Can I use ready-made assets and scripts?
Of course, you can. Whatever makes it easier for you. Both paid and free tools are allowed.
4. What's the theme for the Lost Relic Game Jam?
It's not yet revealed. It should be revealed approximately 24hrs before the start of the Game Jam.
5. How can I find partners to collaborate?
We have a dedicated channel on the discord for finding Jam collaborations!
6. What is the max allowed team size for the Jam?
In order to avoid unnecessary disadvantages between entries, teams can be up to 5 members. That includes all the roles (for example; 2 devs, 2 artists, 1 sound designer).

It is expected that submissions are freshly made for this jam. Yes you can incorporate previously built systems and art. But they should be used in a new / fresh way.
