Welcome to Team 2485's game jam for 2024! This weeklong event offers an ideal opportunity to embark on a substantial project, allowing for creative depth without the need to abandon your work at hand. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned game developer, this jam provides the perfect platform to showcase your abilities. In addition, during the week, we will host virtual sessions to aid you all in the developing process! 

Theme: Will be announced at Start Time

Dates/Times (in PST):

• November 8, 8:00 AM - November 15, 8:00 AM
• Results/Voting End at 8PM on November 18th 

Ranking Criteria:

• Theme relevance
  • Does your game fit the theme?
• Presentation:
  • Is the game well put?
  • Do the developers strive to use individual assets?
• Interpretation/Creativity
  • How creative and imaginative is your interpretation of our theme?

Rules:

• No AI generative tools for assets.
  • Considering that these tools learn off of art they may not have permission to use, we've decided that their usage may indirectly result in unauthorized use of artwork or assets by people not associated with the jam.
  • Feel free to use free assets provided from marketplaces or obtained for free (with permission)! We encourage you to push for original assets, but we understand that is sometimes not possible.
• No monetization of games submitted during the submission or voting period.
  • Everyone needs to be able to play your game to a reasonable extent. If you want to charge money for it after, go ahead. If you want to charge money for an updated / overhauled / expanded version, go ahead.
• No NSFW submissions.
• One submission per team.
  • If you have members of a team who'd like to submit their own projects but still be part of the team, that's okay. The same exact group of people (or individual person) may not submit more than one game.
  • Only one member of a team should register. They will submit the project for the whole group and must credit other authors or co-developers.
