This game jam is being hosted by the UW Tacoma Game Dev Club. Our club's activities include sharing game development knowledge, discussing our interests regarding the development industry and video games, networking with other fellow creators (and occasionally some industry veterans), and holding events just like this one!
We want to see how creative you get with this game jam, and we're eager to play your finished product!
This Game Jam is a little special. We are testing the limits of your creativity by letting you "Build-A-Theme"! This means you, the developer, will get to mix and match your own special theme by combining different theme snippets from a list provided by us, which you voted on!
The theme snippets are as follows:
As long as your project has one (or more) of these themes, you can make whatever you want!
Who can enter? Anyone, of any age, from anywhere, (this includes students of other schools). You can work alone or in teams.
When does the jam begin? The jam starts on December 1st at 1:00 PM and ends on December 31st at 11:59 PM.
What is the theme? The theme for this game jam is whatever you choose, so long as it is built using our curated list of snippets! Want to make a game about spacemen shooting soup at eldritch monsters?! Go ahead! The opportunities are limitless.
What can I make my game in? Anything, provided you can upload a file that runs on Windows or browsers. This includes (but not limited to), Unity, Game Maker Studios, Scratch, Unreal Engine, Godot, RPG Maker.
What assets can I use? The game should be developed during the jam, but you may use some pre-existing code and you can use whatever art and audio assets you have the legal right to use. (This includes those from marketplaces like the Unity Asset Store, or even freebies like those from Open Game Art!
Who will judge the games? Games will be judged by the public, mainly you, the creators. Don't want to be judged? No problem! Just let us know and you can be exempt from judging! Our goal is to make better developers, not to discourage those who are new!
What will the games be judged on? Games will be ranked against the following criteria: fun, on theme, and creativity, with a bonus theme... Most Theme Snippets! Who can make the game with the most theme snippets? Let's find out!
