The Super Nintendo (SNES) was a beloved console for many kids in the 90s. For many of us, it was our first console. The charming pixel art, and 16 bit graphics have a distinct character that we just keep coming back too.

That's why we are doing a Super Nintendo Style Graphics Jam! (But, also the winner of the jam will get a 50 dollar gift card!)

Additional Constraint: You are not the main character

Some Resources

• SNES Development Design Guide
• SNES System Specification

Use any game engine you would like to use, some options if this is your first game jam

• Unreal Engine (3D and 2D) (I don't recommend using Unreal Engine 5 for 2D, but it can be done)
• Unity (3D, and 2D)
• Godot (3D, and 2D)
• pygame (library, primarily 2D)
• GameMaker (Primarily 2D)

• The CONSTRAINT will be announced at the start of the jam! (You can vote on it in the discord!)
• Do I have to follow the additional constraint/theme?
  • Yes, the constraint is required. This is intended to keep people from making a game before the game jam period. 
• If you don't the SNES gods will probably curse you and any future born children with a terrible art curse forever. And if you're game is really that against the spirit of the jam, I may just remove it.

• Use any game engine you would like to use
• NO NSFW content, i.e. adult themes
• All art should be your own, or you have the rights to it.
• The winner of the jam will get a 50 dollar gift card!
• Up to teams of 5 may participate. If you work in teams I will split the winnings amongst the team members.

There is a #find-a-team channel on my discord. When the jam period roles around. It's probably the easiest place to find people to work with for the jam. 

As usual, feel free to join the discord server. StoreBoughtRocketGames. I will make announcements in both places. But, we do have a lot of fun in the discord.

Mortician of Faith will stream any games entered into the game jam on his twitch channel.
