This is the itch.io page for our final game jam of the school year, the grand finale!!! You can upload your awesome project here😎

The start date was the beginning of March and the jam ends on April 5th at 5:00pm (right before the next meet) ! 

This month's theme is...

☠️Try to Die☠️

This was the theme voted upon as a group at our second meet of the winter semester! 

In most games, the goal is to try to survive... but this experimental theme turns the head on its wheels !

Like last time, you are open to interpret the theme in whatever way you'd like! The only requirement is that it has to relate to 'Try to Die' in one way or another.

Rules:

• General:
  • The game must have been developed during the time window of this game jam and not be a continuation of a pre-existing project
  • Submissions are due by April 5th, 2024 @ 5:00pm . Essentially, they must be in before our meet later that day at 6:00pm ! 

• Format:
  • Must be a video game (and not a board game, card game, book, etc.)
  • Any software or format is acceptable -  Ideally, ensure that your game is  playable on browser or on Windows
• Content:
  • The game must somehow relate to the theme of Try to Die
  • Please avoid excessive NSFW material in your game (gore, sexual themes, etc.)
  • If your game contains any NSFW or violent content or flashing lights, please include a warning in the description of your submission
• Assets:
  • You may use publicly available assets as long you properly credit the original creators
  • When you make your submission, you will be required to clearly identify which parts of your game were original (for example, if you got your music or models online, you must state this). Original content will be what's considered when ranking games
    • Assets that were created by members of your team before the jam period also count as non-original for this purpose and must be declared
    • You are allowed to generate assets and ideas with AI, but AI-generated assets also count as non-original and you must declare which assets are AI-generated when you submit your game
• Teams:
  • Teams of up to 4-5 people are allowed! You are also allowed to compete individually (but we encourage teams of 3-5 so that you meet new people and more members can participate)
  • Please have only one person submit the project . When submitting, in the submission description please provide the full names and discord names of each team member
  • If you are looking for a team, please reach out in the #build-your-team channel on our discord server (https://discord.gg/JhvfDtt4ZE)

• Most importantly, remember to have fun! The games can be as simple or detailed as you'd like, there is no expected level of time commitment! Also, everyone will be at different levels in terms of experience. This is a judgement free environment :) 

There is really no way of telling how games will interpret the theme of Try to Die, but we're dying to find out!
