wonderjam is a 10-day game jam. Use these 10 days to make the game you want from start to finish, or maybe experiment with some new ideas. wonderjam is here to help bring your dreams into reality.

Created by the hosts of "The Jam Raft" (LOWREZJAM, JamCraft, Jamulator) to consolidate all the different things we host into a single thing that easier to manage and better suited to new ideas and concepts. LOWREZJAM will remain it's own thing, but the concepts of our other jams will be merged into wonderjam!

If you decide to take part in wonderjam, remember to come over to the wonderful community on our Discord!

CONCEPT

wonderjam starts with a required limitation and two optional themes.

The limitation is something your game has to follow. It is the key challenge to meet and it will be rated on.

The two themes are optional. But you can use one or both of them as an added challenge for yourself, or to give you a headstart on ideas.

Both the limitation and the themes are open to interpretation. During submission you will be able to elaborate on how you implemented them. Just in case your interpretation is so clever that no one gets it!

LIMITATION & THEMES

The limitation is BUILDING, your game is required to use this.

The 2 optional themes are: Decay & Light

HOW TO ENTER

Hit "Join Jam" at the top, and wait for the jam to start.

Once the jam has started, make your game!

Submit it before the jam ends.

• You are not required to follow the themes, which are optional.
• Game assets, unless freely available to anybody, must be created during the jam.
