17th RPG Maker Horror Game Jam
31st of March - 1st of May
RPG Maker is well known for its horror games and now it's time to make more of them! Whether you are starting out with RPG Maker or are already experienced with the engine, you are welcome to participate in this game jam. Whether you plan a serious, dark horror masterpiece, a B-movie style game about typical horror movie protagonists going into spooky places where no sane man would ever dare to tread or even just a silly game about Reid being chased around an abandoned mansion by ferocious Tiger Bunnies, this game jam is for you! Hopefully, at the end of the game jam you will have something playable you can be proud of!
Theme: Depths of the Earth
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 - Cave-in: At one point in the game the way forward suddenly becomes blocked by falling rocks/rubble.
2 - Prepare for the Descent: At the start of the game, the player is able to choose one of several useful items to take with them.
3 - Maze Puzzle: There's a part in the game where you need to go through a maze to a particular destination.
