ABOUT

Hello everyone! Here we are at the THIRD Run & Jump GameJam! If you don't know what that it is, it's an event to celebrate the anniversary of  Lone & Vita's development! Just like before, we're running the jam from 6pm EST on the 1st of August to 6pm EST on the 8th of August. (HOLD IT! We have extended the jam to 6pm EST on the 11th of August. This is the only extension we will make but I think it was needed, huh?). 

We're removing the restriction from last year. This time, you can enter with a full team size (however, we feel anything more than 6-7 is a bit too much and we're expecting teams of 1-5 on average). So go ahead and join with your fully-powered team! Make us marvel at what you can do! Whether that is solo or not!

RULES

• Keep it PG, no NSFW. Please understand that your entry will be played live on noblelemon's Twitch, so it must correspond with Twitch's guidelines and be something you are comfortable sharing with others.
  
• Teams are allowed but make sure to credit everyone involved. Be sure to credit all external assets that are used, i.e. assets you did not make yourself.
• This is a fun, casual sort of jam. It will not be ranked in any way. Please make sure to leave friendly, encouraging comments on other submissions! We want to promote a cooperative atmosphere, not put one another down, be friendly!
  
• Please do not use pre-existing content or characters (for example, don't make a Lone & Vita game). Original content only, the goal is to make something new! To add to that, a game jam is for you to explore your creativity and push yourself to your limits. You must make your game. No AI.
• Although we are celebrating Lone & Vita's development, we are not asking for a Lone and Vita game. Create something of your own, something original!
• Browser-based submissions only. Submissions must be worked on exclusively during the timeframe of the jam. No uploads allowed after the submission deadline.
  
• Your submission should be for this jam only! We're only interested in unique games tailored to our specific theme and vibe!
• Have fun!
