Wheel Jam is back!

YOU ASKED FOR IT, AND WE'RE DELIVERING: WHEELJAM IS BACK, BABY, AND WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE. 


What is Wheel jam?

GOOD QUESTION, READ THIS: https://itch.io/jam/wheeljam

THIS YEAR WE'VE ADDED THE LOCKPICKING GAME TO OUR TEMPLATES. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO USE EITHER TEMPLATE, BOTH, OR NEITHER IN YOUR GAME.


Rules

YOUR GAME MUST HAVE EITHER THE LOCKPICKING MINIGAME OR PERSUASION WHEEL IN SOME CAPACITY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE BOTH, THOUGH YOU MAY.

THIS YEAR WE'RE DOING RANKED VOTING BECAUSE JUDGING ENTRIES SOLO LAST YEAR WAS EXHAUSTING. THERE FUNCTIONALLY WEREN'T PRIZES LAST YEAR SO THERE LITERALLY WON'T BE THIS YEAR. DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF THE WHEEL.

BE COOL, BE COURTEOUS, AND DON'T BE A JERK. IF YOU ARE A JERK, WE WILL BAN YOU FROM THE JAM. AS A GENERAL RULE, -ISMS AND -PHOBIAS THAT DEMEAN OTHERS ARE THE BASELINE FOR NOT BEING A JERK.



IF WE FIND OUT ANY PART OF YOUR SUBMISSION IS AUTHORED WITH GENERATIVE AI, YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE REMOVED, YOU'LL BE BANNED FROM THE DISCORD, BARRED FROM FUTURE JAMS HOSTED BY PEDALBOARD GAMES, AND PUBLICLY MADE FUN OF FOR BEING A DUMB DWEEB.
