Welcome!

Hello, one and all to the VGS 22’ Game Jam™! It is finally the moment for us after countless hours of sessions and hard work to show our labor of fruit! The VGS 22’ Game Jam™ focuses on bringing our community together through collaboration, innovation, and experimentation, with the goal to keep things very simple. So in essence you provide the game and we provide the jam!  

Theme

Starting our jam with the theme we must keep in mind that the theme is a special condition that your game must follow, and if you feel like the theme is limiting just know that limitation breeds creativity~ and as such is also open to interpretation! If you are unsure if your idea doesn't fit the theme,  just remember that everyone will interpret it differently.

The theme for the game jam is:

Memento Mori

SPACE

As you probably know the VGS 22’ Game Jam™ is going to be hosted on campus more specifically in *insert venue location* while it is encouraged to attend the event feel free to continue collabing online with your teammates online through WhatsApp groups or discord calls.

CODE OF JAM

While we do love to keep things simple to ensure a good jam for everyone requires us to adhere to certain rules so please read the rules. Not reading the code of jam is not an excuse for breaking it.

  • No sexism, racism, discrimination, or any kind of exclusion will be tolerated in association with the VGS 22’ Game Jam™ and we reserve the right to refuse and/or remove content based on our principles. We are vocal and active about these values. We encourage inclusive and welcoming environments in all our activities. We encourage a free and open activity where creativity should know no censorship and we hope all participants will exercise their creative freedoms. We take pride in our jammers and organizers, but the VGS 22’ Game Jam™. is not liable for anyone's specific views and opinions.

  • Keep game content clean. Any and all NSFW content, potentially offensive content, graphic content, political content, etc.

  • You may only submit projects made within the time frame. You may not submit a game that you have already made or have been working on.

  • While it is encouraged to build from scratch you may use assets and code that you already have from past jams, the sessions, or from sources that you have acquired the right to use on the rule that you mention in your submission.

  • Answer submission questions honestly. You will be prompted to answer a few questions when submitting your game. Please answer them to the best of your ability. Giving vague answers is a great way to set off red flags.
  • Mentors will be available in real and online spaces to provide guidance and technical support throughout the VGS 22’ Game Jam™, but do not expect help on the creative side whether it be with the theme or with the game design.
