It is a two-week Game Jam where anyone can participate, and there are no specific engine or language requirements. You can use any game engine, or you can even create your game without one.

if you can't finish your game on time, you can submit late at anytime during the jam's voting period. Just DM any admin or Mod on our Discord Server.

Q6. Are Mobile or WEB Games Allowed?

A. Yes they are allowed but we do not encourage you to make HCGs or rather any Clones for Mobile (or even other Platforms). on the other hand. We encourage you to make a WEBGL Build aswell so Others can easily get to play your Game.

Q7. What about the Theme and what is Limitations?

A. Theme will be announced when the Jam starts. at exact 12 AM on 9th June. and for the limitations it will be the same. We can not reveal it soon since thats not how Jam works. Thank you for Co-operating and Understanding.

Q8. Can i take audio from other Sources?

A. Yes you can. as long as they are Non-Copyrighted and for Commercial use.

The theme is what you must follow for this Game Jam. If it's your first time participating and you don't know what the theme actually means, you can think of it as a requirement where everyone must follow the same thing and create a game based on it. For example, in GMTK's last year game jam, the theme was "Roll of the Dice," and everyone had to incorporate that specific theme into their games. You could either implement a dice in your game to match the theme or create a game like Ludo.

We might add a small Limitation with the theme as well. Limitation is basically what it means. any random limitation could be implemented with the theme and you have to be in those limits to create the game. (Note this is just a MAYBE, so There might not be any limitation at all. We will Reveal it when Jam Starts)

Now let's talk about your favorite section. We are not giving Money as a prize and we were not even planning to. this was going to be a game jam without any prizes and stuff. But we got some sweet sponsors and they are willing to provide you with some cool benefits.
