Who can participate?

Anybody who is currently an enrolled student at SAE (Sydney campus) can participate. You need to have a valid itch.io account and ID, and should sign up for the jam before it ends.

How many people can I have in my team?

You can have as many people in your team as you want! We do recommend keeping your team small, though - 3 to 5 members is ideal. Solo jammers are also welcome! If you're stuck for members, get in touch and we will be able to help get you a group!

Do I have to register in a team or as an individual?

At least one individual in your team needs to have joined the jam. However, it will be useful to have all team members registered on itch.io so you can add them to your submitted game as contributors!

Can I submit multiple entries to the game jam? 

Yes, you can submit as many entries to the jam as you want.

Can I use assets from asset stores, or code/other assets that I've created before?

Yes. You can use any of the following, provided you have acquired the appropriate permissions from the authors (check those licenses):

• Open source assets (including art, music, code, etc)
• Previously-created assets (including art, music, code, etc.)
• Assets from an asset store
• Anything else that you legally have the right to use to make a game for this jam

What is the latest date I can join the jam?

You should join by filling in the registration form before 5PM on 25th October 2019.

How can I keep in touch during the jam if I'm working remotely?

You will need to collaborate actively (and potentially remotely) with your team and the game jam admins, so we have created a unified Slack workspace for you to use! You can join it by using this link. You can participate physically (on-campus) or remotely.

We will get all of the fine details sorted after the registration closes.

Can you tell me some details about the location and schedule?

SAE will be hosting the game jam on-campus (and online via Slack) from 9AM on 29th October through to an estimated submission cut-off at 2PM on 30th October (the next day). This will be followed by an award ceremony and we expect the whole thing to wrap up by about 4PM.

This sounds awesome! How can I reach you?
