FAQ

• What is this? It's a game jam for StarCraft maps and art. Make some art, write a story, make a map!
• When do I start making stuff? When the game jam begins, but feel free to plan beforehand.
• Can I work in a team? Yes, as many people as you like.
• How big does my project have to be? It can be an entire campaign, or a single map - whatever you feel like you have the time for.
• Can I use someone else's assets? Yes, as long as they are not under copyright protection.
• What tools can I use? The StarCraft 2 Map Editor and SCMDraft 2 are a good place to start. However, feel free to use any other tools in addition to those.

Rules

1. Submissions can be StarCraft Remastered (*.scm/*.scx) or StarCraft 2 (*.sc2map) maps, piece of artwork, fan fiction, videos - pretty much anything StarCraft related.
2. Map submissions can be Melee maps, Custom Game modes, or modded so heavily they don't resemble StarCraft anymore.
3. Keep you shirt on, Sparky. No NSFW stuff, keep it rated T for Teen.
