Here’s a short video explaining how it works if you don’t feel like reading the page. </p> <h1><div class="text-center"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VBUwfDqt4Jk" allowfullscreen="" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0"><span></span></span></iframe></div></h1> <p class="text-center"><img src="https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzc4MjUxNDQucG5n/original/ihd8Ef.png" loading="lazy"></p> <p><img src="https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzU1MDYyNDQuZ2lm/original/LnWp4%2F.gif" loading="lazy"></p> <h2><img src="https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzc4MjUyMDAuZ2lm/original/FDMSKK.gif" loading="lazy"></h2> <p>The rules are simple: try your best to make the game in 3 hours, <strong>but even if you can’t</strong> - still submit it, you are allowed to go overtime! The time only counts for building your game, that is, any coding, making sound effects/music, art, and other assets. Writing a design doc, coming up with ideas, compiling your game, or making the itch.io page for it does not! </p> <p>You can split your time into however many chunks you want, too - work on it for 3 hours straight, or for one hour each session, or any other way you may prefer! </p> <p>Have a team? Great! Everyone on your team gets their own 3 hours! One person may focus on one part, another on another, and so on. There are no restrictions on team sizes, so invite your friends! </p> <p>Using pre-made assets is no problem, just make sure that you have the necessary rights to use them, and attribute them in your game’s description properly. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Also, if possible, prefer web/HTML5 builds of your games so more people can play them! </em></strong></p> <h2><img src="https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzU1MDY0NjcuZ2lm/original/jMUw3C.gif" loading="lazy"></h2> <p>Every week, the community (that’s you!) votes on the theme for the jam out of 5 themes we arbitrarily choose. We sometimes take theme suggestions too! Join our Discord (see below) to take part in that. You are free to interpret every theme in any way. </p> <p>The theme gets announced every Friday, along with the next jam’s page on our Discord. </p> <p>The jam takes place every weekend from Friday 9 AM UTC - Monday 10 PM UTC, so there is plenty of time for you to take part! </p> <p>After the jam is over, the voting period starts and ends on Wednesday 7 PM UTC. </p> <p>The games are rated in a 5 star system in the following categories: </p> <p><img src="https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzc4MjUyMjQucG5n/original/Z%2F5rEf.png" loading="lazy"><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>You can vote however you like, as long as your votes are consistent across all games. Whether 4/5 for graphics means “it’s nice” or “it’s not that nice” to you, make sure to apply that to all games equally! Thanks! </p> <h1><img src="https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzc4MjUxOTcuZ2lm/original/2CcEO0.gif" loading="lazy"></h1> <p>Every week after the jam has ended, we have two streamers who will play your games and give feedback.
