"Atvērtās Spēļistrādes Komūna" or "Open Gamedev Community Latvia" welcomes everyone to dig up an unpopular open source game engine and make a game!
Theme is: CHEATING
The rules are:
- Use any OPEN SOURCE game engine or game framework that is available on GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket/any other publicly available source;
- The less popular the engine or framework, the more points you will get;
- Implement the theme as loosely or literally as you want in the game, but it has to be in it;
- You can only use open source or your own created asset;
- The code for the game must be published as open source on GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket/any other publicly available source;
- 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;
- You have about a week to submit a game, but you can update the entry after the submission period, if you want to!
