What is Medieval Mayhem?

An October-long, silly medieval & fantasy jam. Make games full of bungling bards, overworked wizards, and chickens with suspiciously important side-quests. Newcomers welcome!

Medieval Mayhem is a friendly, lighthearted, silly jam where you are invited to make something small, complete, and whimsical! 

Theme: Anything medieval, renaissance, fantasy, or otherwise anachronistic. 

Rules: 

Friendly, fair, and fun:

1. Make it during the jam. Pre-existing code/libs are fine; core content/gameplay should be new. Use any engine or any framework you like. 

2. Assets: You may use third-party or pre-made assets with proper licenses & credits.

3. AI usage: Don't use AI generated art, this goes against the spirit of encouraging creativity. Only use assets/code you have the rights to. Don’t submit autogenerated shovelware; creative intent must be yours.

4. Content: Keep it PG-13. No hate speech, harassment, or adult content.

5. Originality & legality: No unlicensed copyrighted/trademarked material.

6. Team size: Any. List teammates on your page.

7. Be kind.
