If you want to know more about this three pillars go check out this awesome extra credits video (we actually got some info for the descriptions from there <3). 

Here you can find (when they're out) the optional theme cards to put inside of your game:

Members of the Discord Server (and the admins because we are few) will be able to submit theme ideas to our #theme-vote channel and after that the admins will discuss and see what the actual theme will be. 

LOCKED IN: might be too close to home since we all have lots of personal experience this past year. But could be mental, emotional, literal/physical – squirrelf 2021.

They’re like the Godot Wild Jam wildcards, you can use them if you want but you don’t have to. Not having them won’t affect the score of your game. 

These optional themes are revealed at the same time as the theme. Please include the one you used somewhere (examples: splash/main screen or scaling the graphic down and placing it in a visible but unobtrusive way). The images of these cards will be available in the google drive. 

VOICE UR CHARACTER: give your characters a voice, you might not be a voice actor but (most likely) have a voice. And in the case that you are in fact a voice actor this is your chance to shine!

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE: make your game understood by anyone who speaks any language. Try using body language, music and images to convey your ideas.

JOKER: include a character that can’t stop making jokes. They might not be that funny but hey! At least one has to make someone laugh, right? Right...? 

1. No NSFW games (slightly suggestive or violent games are ok, just don’t go overboard). 
2. Submissions may be removed at the sole discretion of the organizers.
3. Follow the theme. 
4. Pls don’t overwork yourself too much and don’t forget to eat and sleep. 

Can I edit my game after the submission time is due? The files are going to be locked but you can change your page design and content. 

Can I submit after the submission time is due? No, so try to manage your time well.  

What game engines are allowed? All of them, there’s no limitation on that regard. 

Can I work in more than one game? Yep! Don’t overwork yourself tho. 

Can I use online assets? If they’re free yes, read the terms of use and if you have to credit do so. 

What about paid assets? As long as paid assets comply to the terms of use you're good. 

Can I use stuff I’ve already made? You can, but the spirit of a jam is to make new stuff so have that in mind. 

Can I submit my game to other jam as well? Yep, as long as the other jam is ok with it and the game fits both themes. 

Semi professionnals or professionnals are allowed? There's no limitation in that regard. 

At the end of the Jam, there will be a rating period of 5 days. Your game will be rated on:

Theme: How well your game uses the theme.

Enjoyment: How much you enjoyed your time with the game. 

Concept: How interesting or unique the main focus of the game was.

Story: Is it good? Well written? Good characters or/and good world building? If neither hows da plot? 

Graphics: Does it look good? 

Audio: Do you like the music? Does it fit the game? What about the sound effects?
