WELCOME

This is the very first Uncrowned Game Jam, a jam where within 1 week you must create a game that in one or another way has to do with the game jams theme. Said theme is "Far Far Away".

For more information on the theme, join our Discord server.

There will be one winner, chosen by a selection of judges. The prizes for the winner include $5 on steam, a special role on our discord and the winner will get their game posted so everyone on the server sees it.

RATING

I will rate the submitted games by four different aspects. You do not have to perfect all of them, but I recommend you to work on all of them to achieve an overall good score. The rated aspects are:

Originality. Your game should be somewhat unique, presenting new gameplay mechanics or an interesting story. You do not have to outright revolutionize the gaming industry, but try to not simply copying other games.
Use of the theme. This might just be the most important point. It is crucial that your game represents the theme in some way. The theme is open to your interpretation, but even that has its limits. Providing an explanation for your use of the theme is recommended when submitting ones game.
Entertainment. This should be pretty self-explanatory. The more I enjoy playing your game, the better.
Playability. It is important that your game is not full of bugs and glitches. You don't need to perfectly polish it, but the gameplay should be somewhat smooth.

RULES

Rules are part of every competition. The following are the rules I would like you to obey. Submissions that break these rules might be removed.

Games must be playable on Windows 10. I would like to be able to test your games on my Window 10 laptop. It is recommended that you make a version playable in a browser so Mac users can play it aswell. But a build for Windows is just as good.
Keep your game SFW. No NSFW (18+) content, offensive content, gore. This game jam should stay SFW.
Used assets must be credited. You are allowed to use pre-made assets, but if you decide to do so, you must properly credit the creators somewhere in the game.
No harassement. No racist, sextist or offensive content.
You may work in teams or solo. It's up to you.
