Q: What do I need to do to join? A: Hit the join button on this jam page (if applicable, your team members also need to hit that button). Lastly, join our Discord server here -> [ discord.gg/phDaQ2ambJ ] to keep up to date on the latest game jam and club news!

Q: How many team members can I have in a team? A: The maximum amount of members you can have on a team is five!

Q: I have little to no experience in making games, can I still join? A: Yes everyone is welcome to join! But we strongly encourage you to look through our list of resources on game development in our #resources channel, or ask for help in #development or #general. There are many great resources on YouTube as well!

Q: How and when will our submission be judge? A: Submissions will be judged by our three panelists: Will Waltz, Chris Onorati and an alumni of HGD, Nikhil! You will be presenting your games live to our judges (or you can pre-record a demo of your game) and feedback will be given right after. Submissions will be ranked by each criteria and voted by the judges. There will be additional awards from voting by the audience/participants of the jam.

 Q: How do I properly credit my game? A: It's important that you credit anyone who worked on your game, or has made assets that were implemented. Crediting means providing the name of whoever else was a developer for your game in your credit scene or itch.io submissions page. This also includes citing sources for imported assets, such as assets used from the Unity assets store or from online. If you're not sure if it should be credited, it never hurts to do so regardless, but you can also always ask our officers in the #help channel on our discord. An exception would be assets that specifically state they don't need to be cited, however we encourage you to cite them regardless so we can be accurate with our feedback.
