Hello Jammers! We are only TWO DAYS away from the start of Chill Jam. and I wanted to just take a moment to answer a couple of F.A.Qs that have popped up. 

1. We have implemented an "Additional Theme" this is 100% optional  but makes for a fun challenge. When you submit your game for the jam you can select if you used the additional theme or not. (Note there will be no point or rating deductions for this at all) When the jam starts at 10am on Saturday the additional theme will be shown both on the Itch.IO Jam page as well as THE DISCORD.

2. You are allowed to work Solo! or as part of a team (Teams must not be more than 4 people) If you would like to team up you can use either the community page here on the Jam page or in the discord (linked above) 

3. Don't stress too much, this jam is intended to just be a fun escape or a fun challenge. We can work with those who miss the deadline by a short while but all submissions are due at the due date (may 18th) During the rating period you are able to push game breaking bug fixes but can not add more content until after the week long rating is done. After rating is done you can update it to your hearts content!
