WELCOME!
Vetelino's Summer Jam is a 48-hour-long video game development jam that occurs every month this summer. This June, July, and August.
The focus is not on winning a contest, the purpose of this game jam is to have fun! Make a game alone, with a friend, or more. Just try to have fun and flex your skills in art, programming, composing, and more. Just try and have fun, and please read everything below to make sure you know everything you need for this jam!
THEME:
"Look at all them Balls" is the Theme for June 2022. If your game contains balls in any sort of ways, such as obstacles, characters, collectibles, and much more, your game is eligible for the Jam. The Theme is very open so be creative here, and most importantly, have fun!
Eligibility
Anyone is welcome to join. Team sizes can be as big as you want. No limit on how many there are, so grab a bunch of friends and start developing a great game.
Acceptable for Submission
Anything is acceptable to submit, it only needs to be a game, and it tries to fit the theme. This jam is supposed to be open and casual, so there are no big criteria for submitting.
You can use whatever engine you want, like Godot, GameMaker, Unreal, Unity. Just use the one you feel most comfortable with. You can also make your assets and art in whatever program you want, like Photoshop, Aseprite, Blender, Maya, Zbrush, and more.
Most of the game should be developed from scratch for this jam, but the use of older code or assets is allowed. You are allowed to use other assets as long as you have the right to use them. Make sure to properly credit the stuff inside your game! During submission, please indicate the external assets you've used in the designated field.
You own everything you make, and there's no requirement to include source code or to make your project open-source, though of course you are encouraged to share as much as you're comfortable.
No worries if you can't finish your game on time, you can submit it late at any time during the jam's voting period. Though they might get less time to get rated.
Voting
There will be a voting period after the deadline for submissions has ended. The voting can be done by everyone, regardless if they submitted or not. The games will be voted by these categories:
| Did it fit the Theme? | Did the game reflect the theme in some way? If that were by gameplay, visuals, music, or other. Did the game in its entirety fit the theme of the jam? |
| Gameplay | Was the gameplay innovative? Did the developer(s) make something unique and fun way to play the game? |
| Art | Were the visuals stunning? Was it unique? If the art, 3D models, or anything else related to the visuals looks good and deserves some credit, then rate it here. |
| Animation | Were the animations of the game well made? Did they feel fluent, beautiful, or even unique? Then rate this here! |
| Music | Did the music make the game better? Did the music fit well with the game? Did the music sound good? Rate that here! |
| Sound Effects | Were the sound effects in the game responsive? Did they feel suitable, did they sound good? Then rate SFXs here! |
| Fun | Did you enjoy the game? Was playing the game a fun experience. Did it have a funny narrative/story, or did the gameplay and visuals make it a joy to play? |
There is no prize, though there might be announced a winner at the end of the voting period. I will play all the entries when the voting period ends, and I'll stream it on my Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/vetelinotv I hope that all who join can deliver their games. I want you all to have a good time and a good summer!!
