This jam is now over. It ran from 2023-05-22 16:00:00 to 2023-06-22 16:00:00. View results

In this crazy world there’s a lot of lies, misinformation, and just plain evil being spread. From the media hiding or censoring events that don’t fit their narrative, to perverted groups trying to hurt innocent children. It’s up to us to fight back against this evil and spread the truth!

This jam is all about creating fun videogames that are about truth and all things good. 

Theme: TRUTH

As you may have gathered by reading the above, the theme of the jam is Truth. You can represent this in any way you want!

Definition of truth: "the quality or state of being true"

⚠️ Rules: 

  • Nothing NSFW. Namely no realistic graphic violence, sexual content, nudity, or excessive profanity
  • No propaganda! The goal of this jam is to spread truth, not misinformation or evil ideologies. Things excluded include but are not limited to: LGBTQ+ content, racism towards any group (YES that includes white people) or insulting religions (Christians, Jewish, Muslims, etc.). This does not mean you aren’t allowed to respectfully debate or question these things but they should not be presented as good (unless it makes sense in the narrative; e.g. an authoritarian regime encourages racism against whites) or be insulting. If there’s any questions about this rule then post in the community and I’ll do my best to answer.
  • You obviously do not have to be Christian or conservative to participate, it’s open to anybody who’s willing to follow the rules. However, you should know that all the rules are based on Christian and conservative principles. If that offends you then you can leave, this jam isn’t for you :)
  • Pre-made assets or purchases assets are allowed as long as you properly credit.

F.A.Q. 🗣️

Q: Why don’t you allow LGBTQ content?
A: As stated in the rules, the jam rules are based on Christian and conservative principles. LGBTQ is considered sinful to conservative Christians which is why it’s not allowed in a jam about truth and good things. It’s not meant to exclude or insult any group of people whatsoever, but I’m not going to compromise my values or force anyone else to so people can feel better about doing bad things.

Q: Why did you start this?
A: I’ve seen a lot of game jams and bundles on itch that are supporting lies and evil things and I wanted conservative Christians to have the opportunity to compete in jams that they can agree with.

Q: Are teams allowed?
A: Yes! Teams are allowed, any size is fine. If you’re looking for a team you can make a post in the community.

Q: Are there prizes?
A: Yes there are! Let’s talk about what you can win:
