FAQ
Q: What game engines can I use? A: You can use any engine to make your game (but please see the next question).
Q: What platforms should I release the game on? A: To allow more people to play your game, you should release it on as many platforms as you can build for. We recommend Web, Windows, Mac and Linux. Your game must be free and playable on at least one of these platforms without requiring any additional software download.
Q: Can I work with a team? A: Yes! Visit our Discord or our jam community forum to find someone to team up with!
Q: What if I’ve never made a game before? A: This is a beginner-friendly jam. Feel free to ask for help on our Discord server or the jam community forum.
Q: Can I submit more than one game? A: You can submit as many games as you like but if you do, please ensure that they follow the rules and are made to a reasonable standard. Flooding the jam with very low effort entries risks having them removed.
Q: Can I submit an unfinished game? A: Yes but please submit it near the end of the jam. Do not submit non-functional games.
