Welcome to our third gamejam. We are so excited to see what you all create. We've put together a kick ass team to help organize CFNGamejam#3. In addition to this, we've secured some industry professionals to join us on the judging panel and help pick the winning entries. If you're still not sure whether to join or not, check out the prizes section below!

We've already built an established, active community of over 2500 members on Discord. We would love for you to join us there.

Rules

All games entered must work on a Windows PC with a 'normal' monitor, this means no VR exclusive.
There must be no sexual content.
Team sizes are a maximum of four members.
Your game must be created by you and your jam team, during the game jam itself.
You may use 3rd party libraries, artwork and music or assets you've previously created, but you must divulge which assets you've not created during the game jam. A score penalty may be applied at the judge's discretion.
Don't start with the creation of your game before the jam officially starts.
Although anyone can vote on the submissions, judges will have the final say on the official winners.
