Welcome to the 2021 Winter VN Jam! A game jam for visual novel and story-focused developers.
Continuing from last year's Winter VN Jam, I thought it would be a lot of fun to see more VNs that focus on the winter season. This is what this game jam is all about.
This jam's theme is: Winter. You can interpret that how you like.
Whether it's a story about a character settling down with a nice mug of hot cocoa and some gingerbread cookies, or an adaptation of The Snow Queen, your winter tales are welcome here.
Submission Guidelines:
- You can use the jam to complete a project you've already begun working on, so long as it fits with the jam's theme of winter.
- The video game submission must be a visual novel or be story-focused.
- There's no official judging. Anyone who reaches their goal during the jam has completed it.
- This jam will not accept submissions that depict sex or gore.
- Collaborations and solo projects welcome.
- Submitting demos and works-in-progress are fine!
So have fun, gain experience, and go make a game!
