Welcome everyone to the first ever United Game Jam!

What about the theme?
The theme will be announced in Our Discord Server when the jam starts, so that everyone will start brainstorming at the same time! No, we can't give any hints about the theme!
(For jam, Beginners are considered as people with 0 games uploaded on itch. As it is a Beginner Friendly Game Jam, the theme is chosen in such a way that hopefully no one will have any trouble creating a game on this)
Who can enter?
Anyone, from anywhere. You can work alone or in teams.
Make sure you have an itch.io account and press the big button on this page to join the jam! Don't worry, you are not forced to submit anything after you press the button so go ahead and press it even if you are not sure about being able to join!
At this point, all you can do is wait and get excited about the jam! Make sure you read the rules so you know what's allowed and what isn't! This way you can ask about stuff that's unclear before the jam starts!

Who will judge the games?
For starters, the participants. Then all our Content-creators alongside with our Organizers will play the top games, before showing a handful of favorites on their respective YouTube channels.
What will the games be judged on?
This is a design contest, so how the game acts is more important than how it looks. The criteria for judging will be "Design", "Relevance to the Theme" and "Innovation".

Rules:
Like most of the events, there are also some rules you have to follow during the jam.
- No NSFW games.
- You can use any asset (including fonts) from the internet as long as you have the correct license for it, but you need to link it in Description.
- In description, don't forget to mention whether you're a beginner or not, along with the game engine used and describe your game's relevance to the theme.
- The game should have either a Web build or a Windows build (.exe).
- Feel free to may make a VR game, but consider that only a few people will have the tech to actually judge your game and it's unlikely that you'll be ranked properly.
