there isnt a maximum team size, but i would recommend to keep it small, as it wont be easy managing a 10 person team with 3 days
you can submit your game early, that’s fine by me, and if needed, you can submit late, just DM me on Discord if you need to submit late
there are no restrictions on game engine or build target, but it’s recommended to build it for web since anyone can easily run your game
if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
I’ve been learning an engine called Stride. It reminds me of if Unity & Visual Studio were mixed together. I haven’t done much with it, but so far I like it. I’m probably just going to use the documentation on their website to learn it though. If anyone wants a link, I’ll send it, but not unless someone’s interested.
Your game doesn’t qualify to be in the jam because it was made before the jam started and has no correlation to the theme of the game jam. There is an entire section dedicated to the theme, and just because the jam is meant to be around pixel art, doesn’t mean that that’s the theme. I’m sorry, but your game will be removed. You can still submit a game, as long as it follows the parameters on the page, but this game cannot be submitted.
Please don’t just spam your game as an entry to random jams, it doesn’t do much. If you want your game to succeed, you need to get a following, and that’s not the way to do it. Plus, doing that is giving you an unfair edge, especially since the other participants are actively working on their games.
If you want to argue why your game is supposed to be allowed, you can join the Discord and open a ticket in the bot commands channel, or DM on Discord @abyssaltheking.

So I was looking at the game engines page to see if there was something new I wanted to work with and I happened to click the TIC-80 link after being disappointed that BASIC8 wasn’t free and it turns out that the link was sold or something. I’m assuming it changed but you might want to look into that. I’ll update you if I find a link you can use.
Update: found a link you can use: https://tic80.com/
yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo about to spent a week on making a silly little game for sillie big jam lets gooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and im going to plan this time too LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOLO DEVS RISE UPPPPPPP
go ahead and download the game
you will love it if you like simple and complex machinery that looks very impressive while defending a base using turrets and yourself to capture a sector
its written in the same programming language as minecraft and still performs better, with only ~50 mb of memory being used on average (on my machine, results could vary)
I think it is a little challenging going from the tutorial to first level, as it took me a minute to figure out you could move rocks, and I ended up getting confused at the third stage because I didn't know how to do the flying enemy part, so maybe a little more communication to game mechanics would help but other than that its a good game.
