[ THERE IS A BUG WE ARE AWARE OF RE: THE RATING QUEUE NOT APPEARING. WE'VE REACHED OUT TO ITCHIO AND ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK -- FEEL FREE TO VOTE FREELY IN THE MEANTIME. ]

- ABOUT -

Velox Fabula (or "Quick Story") is a ranked jam about making a complete visual novel in 10 days based on a community-determined theme. The theme is revealed at the start of the jam.

This jam is heavily inspired by Ludum Dare, a global game jam about making a game from scratch based on a certain theme in a short amount of time. We highly encourage participants in this jam to check out that jam as well!

Take a look at some VN examples from their last jam!

- THEME - 

After 6 rounds of voting, the community-determined theme is: 

[ UNRELIABLE NARRATOR ]

- VOTING - 

Voting will be held for 2 weeks after the jam submission window closes. Your rank in each category is determined based on votes from your fellow participants. 

You will be assigned a random set of games to play and rate. After you play and rate 5 entries, you will be free to play and rate the rest of the entries. This is to ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to receive votes. If we do not receive more than 10 entries, we will only announce 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in all categories.

Categories include: 

• Overall
• Theme Incorporation 
• Creativity 
• Writing/Narrative
• Art/Visual Design
• Music/Sound Design
• Voice Acting
