CASH PRIZES!!!

The Theme for this year is:

[CREATURE FEATURE]

Welcome to my second Game Jam! This year for the theme we're going for one of my favorite types of horror: The Creature Feature. There's nothing that quite encapsulates humanity's frailty as the fact it is no longer the apex predator. It's a fairly simple premise, and completely open ended for you, the game devs, to play around with! So let's get to the details.

RULES

1. Your Game MUST utilize some form of creature or monster as the antagonist (or even protagonist if you pull it off correctly). This is a Creature Feature after all ;) Anything that is NOT human counts as a 'creature'
2. Your game can be made with any engine, and use any assets. However, please do NOT use any ripped game sprites, or copy-written music. PC GAMES ONLY, PLEASE
3. The length of the game must be at least 15 minutes, but no more than 75. If your game is longer, I will stop live streaming it at around the 75 minute mark.
4. All entries MUST be made during the submission period. Previously made games will be disqualified and removed from the jam
5. Lewd & Adult games are allowed! ;) However, they will NOT be streamed on Twitch unless a Twitch appropriate version is supplied (can be done any time after submission, and given directly to HawkZombie through Discord)
6. Teams are allowed! However, only one member of the team will be awarded the prizes, and it is up to the team to decide how to split the winnings

JUDGING CRITERIA

All submissions will be open to public vote, and while that will influence things slightly, the main winners will be decided by myself during a special live stream on my Twitch channel on November 1st

1. The Creature
2. The Story
3. The Atmosphere of the Game
4. The Gameplay
