A neon soaked, blast from the past, 80's inspired retro game jam! This jam is one week long and is centered around 80's aesthetic and culture.

Theme:

The theme is based around 80's aesthetics, get creative with it! If your unsure what constitutes an,  "80's" theme, then here are a few examples to get you inspired! 

• Cyberpunk
• Synthwave
• Retrofuturism 
• Arcade Games
• r/outrun (a subreddit devoted to all things 80's)
• GUNSHIP (a personal synthwave favorite of mine)
• The Last Night (a game that fits perfectly into the cyberpunk theme)

Rules:

• Be civil and act respectful towards others
• Keep the games PG-13ish (violence and gore are allowed, sex and nudity are not)
• Teams are allowed (try to keep it to 3-4 members max, managing a large team during a game jam can become a nightmare!)
• Only use assets and code you have the right to use
• Planning and mockups are allowed before the jam but all code and assets must be made during the jam 
• All game engines are allowed 
• Have fun!

Voting:

Although this is a competition, make sure to have fun above all else! Getting feedback from a broad range of people is a great way to learn and improve in the future. Voting will take place after the jam has ended and will run for one week. Here are the voting categories:

• Fun
• Visuals
• Music
• Story
• Theme
