Hello fellow clown lovers. Me and a group of friends just so happen to be making a clown based dating game that we've almost finished. Just making sure it does not break any rules as it was made without knowing about this jam and we started development about 3 weeks ago. Is it still possible to join? Thank you.

Yes, your dating game is allowed under the jam rules! 

Here’s why: The rules say you can submit projects that were started before the jam (like your 3-week-old game), as long as they are new/unreleased and stick to the clown theme. Even if your game is almost done, it qualifies because it hasn’t been published before, and you could add a small twist for the jam (like a new clown character, scene, or joke) to fit the event’s spirit—though that’s not a strict requirement. 

You also meet the important rules: 

  1. Clowns are clearly the main focus in a dating game.
  2. Assets are original or properly licensed (assuming there’s no AI or stolen art).
  3. The game will be free during the jam .
