If you don't manage to submit your project to the game jam before the submission period ends, you can post a link to your game in this thread and I will give you a late submission link that will allow you to submit the game anyway.

You have time to do so until the rating period has ended.

You need to incorporate the Theme into your game in some way and before you submit it, you will need to write atleast 1 short sentence about how your game fits the Theme of the game jam. It's completely up to you how you interpret the theme. Feel free to be creative with it.

Theme: Spear of Destiny

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1) Chosen Wielder: There's a scene in the game where the protagonist is chosen by a legendary spear as its wielder.

2) Wise Mentor: The protagonist has a wise mentor figure guiding them throughout their adventure.

3) Fatal Weakness: There's a monster in the game that can only be damaged by targeting its weakspot or exploiting some other kind of weakness it has.

If you are using RPG Maker MV or MZ and want to include a Browser version of your game (which will ensure more people will play it), here's a quick guide on how to do that:

1) When you are deploying the game, choose the Web Browsers platform.

2) Locate your deployed game folder and once you have everything you need inside it, compress the folder into a .zip format (by default on Windows, you can right-click the folder, select Send to and choose Compressed (zipped) folder).

3) Create a Project page on itch.io or edit an existing one. Under Kind of Project, choose HTML (you will still be able to add downloadable versions for other platforms like Windows, so don't worry).

4) Upload the zipped folder of your deployed game to your Project page on itch.io.

5) Mark "This file will be played in a browser" for the uploaded .zip game folder.

6) Scroll down to "Embed options", under "Viewport dimension", enter the resolution of your game. The default resolution for both RPG Maker MV and MZ games is Width: 816 and Height: 624

7) Under Frame Options, mark whatever options you think will be useful for your game.

8) Save the changes, then go to your project page. Click Run Game. This will configure the Browser version of the game for the first time and make it playable. After some time, the game should load and from now on, it should be playable in browser.

2) Deadly Traps: The player character will face ingenious, deadly traps that take some skill and clever thinking to overcome.

3) Make Your Choice: There's a scene in the game where the player character has to choose which character lives and which one dies.

You can for this game jam.

Yes.

Cool take on the theme!

This game jam has started less than a week ago, but there's still plenty of time to join and make a game if you wish to participate!

You are free to stream your game and dev process.

Purchased premade assets can be used for the jam normally, just like free ones, so you don't have to worry about that. Just make sure to follow the Terms of Use of whatever external assets you are going to use.

Ah, alright :)

You will probably have more luck finding a team on the jam's discord server: DISCORD

Only programming/level design is limited by this, writing, art and music can be done before the jam.

If it's something basic, like camera or movement system or similar, then you can reuse the code as is. If it's something more elaborate, then it would be for the best to comply with the spirit of the jam by remaking it from scratch (which might lead to you improving on the original concept). Just make sure that you can honestly say that the majority of the work on the game was done during the jam period.

Good luck!

1) There are no prizes.

2) As on any itch jam, once the rating period starts, itch users will be able to rate the games and once rating period ends, a Results tab will appear on the jam page.
