What is a GameJam? A Game Jam is a short event where you and others work together to create a small game. Most Jams have some kind of restriction on theme or style to get you thinking about games in a new way. Game Jams are a great way to test ideas, build on your skills, and meet other awesome creative people. Do them. Future you will thank you for it. Pirate Software runs Game Jams two times a year and all of our jams have prizes! Can I make a game? Yes you can. Theme To Be Determined This is generally announced on the day of the Jam. The community is given 10 different themes and then votes on the one they like the most. Don't stress about this too much as it's meant to be a fun barricade that spurs on new ideas more than anything else. Setup Join our official Discord ! Form up into teams or decide on running solo. Come up with a team name and get ready to jam! Rules This is not an exhaustive list. Don't be a dumbass. 👺 You must follow the Itch.io TOS. No teams of more than 5 people. Your submission must include a Game Design Document . If you do need to leave let your team know in advance. Do not attempt to sabotage other teams. No AI-Generated Content of any kind. No Pornographic Content or Nudity. No Illicit Drug References. You can only use assets you have the commercial license for. Some asset packs only allow non-commercial use. Make sure you know the licensing limits for anything you use. The intention is for you to build your own stuff and learn from it. Don't over…
