This is a Femme Game Jam event in collaboration with the WICS (Women In Computer Science) club. The kickoff event will take place during the weekend of April 5th, 2024 at 5:30 in the Fishbowl Lounge in D.H. Hill Library. During the kickoff, we’ll go over game jam rules, voting, and prizes. At the end, we’ll announce the theme and start team forming. This event is open to women, non-binary, and femme students. All skill levels are welcome!

Rules:

1. Try to stick to the theme
   1. We highly encourage each team to incorporate the theme in their game in one way or another. This is highly interpretive so there are many unique ways to do this with almost any core game idea.
2. Keep the games T for Teen at most.
   1. If you wouldn't submit your game to your professor then don't submit it to us. Thanks.
3. Submissions will be ranked out of five stars based on votes by participants in the following categories:
   1. Game Design / Game idea
      1. Was the game well designed? Was the idea exciting and cool?
   2. Art
      1. How good did the game look? Were the visual assets made for the game-high quality? Did it have a cohesive art style?
   3. Music
      1. How good did the music sound? Did it fit the game's feel or vibe well?
   4. Mechanics
      1. Were there any parts of the gameplay that were really cool?
