Welcome to the Thirdspace Jam! This is a 48-hour jam both on-site and remote.

Join our discord at https://discord.gg/zpWxKbsH.

Participant Mixer:

Prior to the beginning of the jam, there will be a mixer in-person and on discord for anyone who wants to meet some of the other participants. On-site, there will also be refreshments provided.

Game Jam:

The jam will begin with the announcement of the theme at 6:00p.m. central time. Teams can self-organize however they would like to. Any work on your games should start after the theme is announced. You can set up a repository or other file structures/pipelines ahead-of-time, as long as they are blank canvases.

While the game jam period is 48 hours long, you are not expected to work for this entire stretch of time, nor should you. Take breaks, avoid burnout, and have fun!

A final, playable build of your game must be submitted by 6:00p.m. central time on June 23rd. We recommend finishing all work by 5:00p.m. to ensure that you have enough time to comfortably build, upload, and fill in metadata on the itch page.

Game Presentations:

After the submission window has closed, we will download as many builds as possible, and have a presentation of all games both in-person and streamed over discord. If you would like to present your own game, then either be on-site or be prepared to take over screen sharing on discord. If you do not want to present your own game, then we can play it on-site, or you can request that it not be played.

Judgement and Prizes:

Judging the games will take time, so results will be made public on June 30th, 2024 @ 6:00p.m. The prize structure is as follows:

1st place: $30

2nd place: $20

3rd place: $15

These prizes can be delivered physically or digitally.

Rules:

• Any assets in your game must be created during the jam, or otherwise noted (such as packages, or creative commons assets)
• Hate or prejudice will not be tolerated
• You must have the rights to use anything that is present in your game
• You will retain full ownership of your game
• Have fun!
