Discord is our main hub, and winners must be members to claim prizes. Join before results day on Thursdays so you don't miss out.

 Why It Matters

• Prizes are claimed on Discord. This week's 1st place prize wins $50 USD, paid via PayPal. Winners must be in the server to claim within 2 days of results, or the prize is forfeited.
• Most updates and announcements take place there.

 Other Reasons

• Theme and limitation drops are always updated exactly on time there, whereas the jam page may fall behind.
• You can find teammates with people who also want to participate in the jam!
• Progress sharing in dedicated WIP channels. Submissions are automatically posted in our #shipped channel within 5 minutes of being posted!
• Receive feedback from other jammers in our dedicated #play-swap channel; you play their game, they play yours, and you give feedback to each other directly.

Beautiful work, great story!

Hi! I'm not sure that I fully understand your question. Are you asking entries from one-shot prompt games where you prompt AI "Make a game about [...]", and have the AI iterate and playtest itself, turning in whatever it outputs without any human intervention or direction after the first prompt? If so, I will make take the time to make the rules and process more clear today, as one-shot games aren't the intended point of this jam.

To clear it up in this moment before I get the chance to be more detailed in the jam description, what is meant by "entirely with AI", is AI creating the graphics, assets, code, and text, but still being directed and prompted iteratively by a human.

There are some AI that do okay with one-shot games, however, the idea of this jam is to push AI as far as you can to create a game that feels consistent in design, style, and gameplay. 

To address the question of prize payout, again thank you for pointing it out and I will add that to the description as well! Any monetary payouts available to winners will be done via PayPal in USD.

Thank you for your question!

Neat concept! Felt so bad for the little robot I just had to find parts for it. Frankenbot accomplished

This is a phenomenal incremental game. Kudos, great work, scratches an itch for sure! 10/10 would waste so much time on this game
