May the Force be with You

Many of us grew up on fantastic tales of space battles, powers with in us, and fighting against the odds. We loved the feisty princess in buns who took no nonsense. We flew through space adventuring to new galaxies, finding new discoveries and trying to find our way home. Though we loved these stories we often had to see them through the lenses of others so know its time to add our own to them.

PS - Don't forget to join us on our fabulous Rainbow Jam discord server for some good old community building and fun times. I'll be looking for admins and working on revitalizing that as well as I can. Or grab the Rainbow Jam Google Calendar to keep up with all the jamming happening!

Theme : Final Frontier

Its time to adventure where no man has gone before. Lets dive head first into exploration of the unknown and get lost in space. Through caution to the stars and rocket into stories told from us, for us.

Rules of Rainbow Jam

So therefore there are only two rules to Rainbow Jams :

1) Your game must focus on Queer and/or minorities OR the experiences of those groups.

2) All games submitted have to be created during the current Rainbow Jam. You can do prep work leading up to it, in fact, I encourage it. Prep away! HOWEVER you may not start work on the actual design or the game itself until the jam starts.

You don't have to finish the game to submit it. Unfinished works or demos are allowed, encouraged, and accepted! Completing the work for the jam isn't a requirement just creating one is.

What are Rainbow Jams?

Well that's a fair question. Rainbow Jams are my answer to being annoyed at not hearing Queer and minority stories. Its my answer to wanting to see more games created by those same people. We do exist out there even if people whisper about our mythical and magical unicorn powers. And I'd like to see more of us reflected in games, and as game creators. So from now on I will be hosting a Rainbow Jam a month to help fuel that avalanche of creation through games that better reflect our community. Its time for some games #ByUs4Us !
