WHAT IS MACRO JAM?

Macro Jam is a beginner friendly Game Jam that lasts 96-hours and is held on the first week of every month. In this Jam you have to create a game that follows the theme, which will be revealed once the Jam starts. The theme can be voted and suggested in the Discord Server.

During the submission window you can play and vote other peoples' games, and 3 days after, the rankings will be out. After the submission window closes you still have until the end of the voting period to submit a late submission, which you can do by messaging the staff in the Community Discord Server.

:THEME

The theme will be revealed once the Jam starts.

As of now, the theme can't be voted on, but this will very likely change in the future!

RATING:

When the submission window is over, there will be a 3 day voting period:

1. Use of theme - how well the theme is incorporated in your game

2. Enjoyment - how fun it was to play the game

3. Gameplay - how well the game feels to play (controls, smoothness, etc)

4. Presentation - how well the game is presented (visuals, audio, menu, etc)

:RULES

1. Keep the game content clean (no explicit, NSFW or disturbing graphics)

2. Keep the game in English (except for the title; it can be in any language)

3. Only make games in the 96-hour Jam period

4. If you aren't sure about the rules, ask in the Discord Server
