Be sure to check out last year's jam (https://itch.io/jam/flexible-2024)!
Note: If you are making a game RIGHT BEFORE the previous jam ands and this jam starts, you are allowed to submit to THIS jam even if you STARTED before the previous jam ended.
Aside from a few basic guidelines, this jam has NO rules! You can use any tools, in any way, at any time.
You can choose to give yourself a theme or not and/or use a theme generator likethis one! (https://letsmakeagame.net/game-jam-theme-generator/)
This jam runs for exactly one year, but that isn't so you can work on a game for a year straight!
This jam is meant to allow you to choose timing that works for YOU, as well as how strict you want to be...So whether it be working on a game for 48 hours straight, 72 hours over the course of the month, a prototype over the course of a week, giving yourself UNLIMITED time, or anything in between, you're the boss!
Obviously there have to be a FEW guidelines to keep this jam a safe environment for everyone.
No NSFW/Discriminative content.
If your game has violence, make it OBVIOUS to the player BEFORE they start the game. (AKA include a warning.)
This isn't REQUIRED, but consider adding a horror warning to scary games.
Anyone, at any age, from anywhere, can join.
