Luckythespacecat Studios is a indie game development studio.
We have participated in several game jams and created several games. This game is a celebration of Luckythespacecat Week, a Fun eventful week that happens once a year to celebrate the awesome community we have. Our game jam is an event that will encourage other game developers to show their creativity. You can join our awesome community right here.
The Game Jams theme will be announced at the beginning of the jam...
Rules
1. Your game must be uploaded to either play in the browser or be able run on a Windows OS. Feel free to also have exports for other devices. Extra Points if your game has mobile controls, works on mobile or is adjusted to also work on mobile!
2. No NSFW content, Inappropriate content is not allowed. Aside from minimal gore, but nothing to graphic. Restrain from curse words, It is allowed but don't make it excessive.
3. Games submitted MUST be made within the week long time range. From the 17th to the 24th. Please do not upload a game made before hand or completely unrelated.
4. Teams are allowed up to 10 people, Prizes will be given to whoever uploads the game, it's up to the main member to use it or share with the team.
5. Follow the Game Jams theme, You will not have a very good chance of winning if your game is not at all related to the theme. Although make sure to specify how you used the theme in the description of your game, to insure we understand. You can interpret the theme however you like, in whatever way possible (as long as it follows the rules of course).
6. DO NOT steal peoples art, if you use any assets that are not yours you MUST properly credit them. If you do not have permission to use the assets Don't use them. I have always been a fan of seeing people do art themselves. If your team or you individually create all the assets in your game you will be awarded extra points. Regardless of not if your games art looks polished or not you will be judged on the game itself and your creativity with the theme.
The winners will be voted on by the judges. Here are some things to keep in mind when creating your game.
- Making your game ALSO compatible for mobile will give you extra points.
- If your team creates all the Assets on your own you will also receive points, weather the assets are good or not plays no effect into how you will be judged.
- Knowing your audience is a very important thing not just in this jam, but in making games overall. If you develop games in the way you know the judges or community will enjoy there is no doubt it may have an advantage.
