Game Jam

[DiamondFire Events]

Hey everyone!

This is the Game Jam nexus news thread. All new information will be sent here in edits or new posts below.

Theme
For the theme, it is "the game is not your friend". Essentially, the game is your enemy. The way you plan this out is up to you!

Starting times
The DiamondFire Game Jam already started Friday, at 3:00 PM Eastern, or 12:00 PM PST. It ended the following Sunday at the same time.

What is a game jam?
In a game jam, you can either work alone or work with a team of up to 3 other players. Your goal is to construct a game within a set period of time while also following a theme. There will also be winners; prizes will be split between the top winners. If you work alone, the prize level increases. After players hit the plot jam deadline, we will wait a bit and schedule a good time to vote. Voting will be on the forums.

What are the rules

You can only work with up to three people (so 4 in a team in total). Code templates are allowed (e.g for music), but game-creator templates that sort of make games out of the box are disallowed.

Wait where is the submission category

Are we allowed to let people test our game jam plot as we're making it?

Is there a separate deadline for submitting your plot, or is when the game jam ends?

 

[EmeralDev]

Can you work on the plot after submission but before the game jam ends?

You can, yeah. But once it ends, ya can't edit.

When the game jam ends.
