It needs to involve a vehicle! Some parts can exclude the vehicle, but it needs to be there.

Bye.

No.

You can use plugins

as stated in the faq, yes

if it allows you to post the game on itchio, yes

you can submit the game to as many jams as you want as long as it fits the theme and follows the rules

As explained in the rules, the game has to be new to be submitted to the jam.

yeah

you could submit it to this jam if you want

we love kinetic VNs, they are very welcome! 🤝🏼

read the jam’s page

As previously answered in this thread, we’re not giving anyone any minimums as that could limit possible creativity.

Might be a better idea to leave a note on your game’s page/create a thread there.

Yeah, that’s concerning… I appreciate your transparency

Perhaps it might be a good idea to look into other ways to build your game, like with a different engine or providing a web version, as I really doubt Microsoft will be able to whitelist your application anytime soon, unfortunately :(

That’s perfect. Don’t worry about it

1. A road trip in a tank might be pushing the concept a bit too much, unless you can depict the experiences of a road trip very well. Focus on the road trip aspect.

2. Sure, but watch out for copyright issues

It doesn’t fit the road trip theme, so we can’t accept it.

Yes! Fantasy and historical modes of transportation are allowed

That should be ok, but try to include road trip experiences so it’s not plainly a delivery service simulator!

As stated in the FAQ, fantasy or historical vehicles are ok.

We’ll allow it as it’s very similiar to what we already allow in IFs and tabletop games =)

A road trip needs to have an actual trip in it to be a road trip.

i don’t know actually, that’s a good question

They have to be doing the road trippin’

Could you give more info on what you mean by analog CYOA?

It’s working for me

I won’t say it has to as I don’t want to limit potentially creative ideas, but you need to make sure the game is about a road trip and not a driving simulator if you do that. It needs the experiences of a road trip.

No

does it allow you to publish the game here on itchio? if not, then no.

It can.

The deadline is clearly visible on the jam’s page.

Yes to both

Your project needs to be playable on itchio, either by download or hosted on web, to be accepted into the game jam.

yes to both

Yeah, roblox is a no.

This has been answered in this thread before.

EDIT: And in the FAQ.

Any kind of graphics is ok. I don’t get what you mean with the harpoon question, sorry.

Sorry for the late response, I’m graduating today and had to check with my co-host lol

If the bus drive has the experiences of a road trip, it should be ok. E.g: stopping for meals and gas, staying at hotels, sightseeing, etc. I think the difference between a road trip and a regular bus travel in your case would be more important.

1. They don’t have to know each other from the get-go. Getting to know (or hate) strangers during the trip is ok.

2. The interactions don’t have to be positive. If you want everyone in the vehicle to hate each other’s guts/ actively plan for their murders/not care about each other, that’s okay. The social aspect can be as negative as you want, not all road trips are fun times for everyone.

3. Minibus and van are ok, my own game has a van as it vehicle.
