THEME FOR THE ROCKET JAM IS CROSS.
We are GAZİ DOTT — Gazi University's Digital Game Design Community!
Our goal is to foster a vibrant game development ecosystem through hands-on training, events, and game jams. After our previous adventure, Rakun Jam, we're launching Rocket Jam to bring game developers together once again!
1. Keep it Fresh: Your game must be created entirely within the jam timeframe. Pre-existing assets (music, 3D models, sound effects) are allowed, provided you have the rights to use them and credit the original creators.
2. Team Up or Solo: You can participate completely solo or in teams of any size.
3. Engine Choice: Use any engine, framework, or tool you like (Unity, Unreal, Godot, Construct, WebGL, etc.).
4. Platform: Please ensure your game is playable on Windows or directly in the browser (HTML5) so as many people can judge it as possible.
5. Keep it Respectful: No NSFW, hate speech, offensive, or discriminatory content. Games containing such content will be removed immediately.
After the submission deadline passes, a 7 day voting period will begin! Everyone who submitted a game can vote on other entries based on the following criteria:
🎮 Gameplay
🎨 Art & Visuals
🎵 Audio & Music
💡 Theme Interpretation
Don't launch alone! Connect with other jammers, share your progress, and get feedback in our community space:
Q: Can I submit a game I made before?
A: No, the core code and game design must be done during the jam period.
Q: Can I update my game after the deadline?
A: You cannot update the game build during the voting phase unless it's a critical bug fix that prevents people from playing.
Q: Are AI-generated assets allowed?
A: No, we encourage hand-crafted assets!
Fuel up, start your engines, and let's build something out of this world! Good luck! 🚀
