Welcome to the second NAG Jam, brought to you by NAG and Intel South Africa!
Participants have from 7pm on Thursday 3rd March until 7pm on Sunday 6th March to create the best game they can based on the theme of "HA DID YOU REALLY THINK WE'D REVEAL THE THEME EARLY?".
The ACTUAL theme will officially be revealed via our Twitter feed at 7pm on March 3rd.
For more information, please visit our website. As you work on your game, keep in mind these rules:
- The NAG Jam is a 72-hour jam, which will begin at 7pm on Thursday March 3rd and end on Sunday March 6th. The reason we're doing 72 hours and not 48 is to give people as much time as possible to polish their game and fancy it up for the massive rAge audience.
- The theme for the jam will be announced at 7pm on Thursday March 3rd. It'll be announced via our Twitter feed, so be sure to follow us to find out the theme as soon as it's revealed.
- We don't have an official venue for the jam. You'll have to collaborate remotely with your development chums, or spend the weekend together at a location of your choosing. We officially approve of "under the bridge by my mom's house" as a jam venue.
- All games must include a reset function that resets the state of the game.
- All games must feature a rudimentary instructions screen that explains how the game is played.
- Entries must be submitted no later than 7pm on Sunday, 6 March.
- Devs are free to work in teams using any game engine or tools they choose, and draw from any existing asset/code bases to which they have access (again, this is to maximise the quality of the games we receive).
- Games can be PC or Android (x86 (not ARM))-based. Keyboard, mouse and/or gamepad is supported on PC. Touchscreen is supported on Android.
- Exact specs of the PCs and tablets will be provided closer to the time.
- Prize pool of R15,000; more prizes may be confirmed closer to the time.
- Submitted games will be judged by a panel of experts. Well… "experts". But we're all quite nice anyway, and sometimes we play video games. The top 4-8 games will be selected to be played at rAge. Judging criteria will be confirmed closer to the time.
- Jammers needn't be able to attend rAge to be eligible for the prize money or to have their game placed on public display.
- Only entries from within the SADC (Southern African Development Community) region will be accepted.
- All content must be original and must not violate any existing copyright laws.
