Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to your final challenge of this year: the VGS '25 Game Jam! It's finally time, after countless hours of sessions and hard work, to show the BATEE5 of our labour! The VGS '25 Game Jam focuses on bringing our community together through collaboration, innovation, and experimentation. So in essence you provide the game and we provide the jam!
The jam starts on July 4th 11:59PM Egypt time, and ends July 6th 11:59PM Egypt time.
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:
ELEVATOR
CODE OF JAM
While we do love to keep things simple, some rules must be made clear to ensure a good jam for everyone. 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 '25 Game Jam. The VGS '25 Game Jam is not liable for anyone's views and opinions.
- Keep game content clean. Any and all NSFW content, potentially offensive content, graphic content, political content, etc. is not allowed
- The use of AI-generated art or music/sfx is strictly prohibited.
- Anything you make during the VGS '25 Game Jam is your property. VGS claims no rights or ownership of your game.
- Any game submitted to the VGS '25 Game Jam may be presented on the VGS website or during future sessions without your express permission.
- 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 it in your submission.
- Mentors will be available to provide guidance and technical support throughout the VGS '25 Game Jam, but do not expect help on the creative side, whether it be with the theme or the game design.
