"Atvērtās Spēļistrādes Komūna" or "Open Gamedev Community Latvia" welcomes everyone to dig up an unpopular open source game engine and make a game!

Theme: "Particle of Life"

The rules are as follows:

  1. Use any OPEN SOURCE game engine or game framework that is available on GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket/any other publicly available source;
  2. The less popular the engine or framework, the more points you will get;
  3. Implement the theme as loosely or literally as you want in the game, but it has to be in it;
  4. Submit the game with a link to a DevLog about your experience using the game engine.
    For example, what went great, what went bad and whether you'd recommend using it for other projects? This can be in a video format on youtube, a text DevLog here on itch.io game page or link to your blog post.. etc..  - it's up to you;
  5. You can only use open source or your own created asset;
  6. The code for the game must be published as open source on GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket/any other publicly available source;
  7. You can participate in other jams with the entry you submit here, but if we suspect it’s a “spam” game (submitted to many random jams), we will disqualify you;
  8. You have about a week to submit a game, but you can update the entry after the submission period, if you want to!
