In this sprint, take 2 days (or any amount of time) out of the time given to work on an existing project. 

You will also fill out and submit two documents using templates that I provide: 

The Preliminary Document will outline the scope of what you plan to improve or change during the sprint.
Download the document, fill it out and submit it before starting. Upload it with a build of your game / project to your itch submission at the beginning of the sprint.

The Post Document will be a reflection on the entire experience.
Download the document, fill it out and submit it after finishing. Upload it with a build of your game / project to your itch submission at the end of the sprint.

I will review it and give you feedback on stream!

STEP BY STEP SPRINT GUIDE:

1) Pick a project to work on and allocate your sprint time.

2) If your project does not have an itch page, create one for it, publish it, and submit it to the jam.

3) Upload a build of your game / project in its current state to your submission

4) Fill out the Preliminary Document and upload it to your submission

5) Start your sprint: Follow the plan you set and attempt to complete your tasks within the time you allocated for yourself / your team.

6) When the sprint is done, upload another build of your game / project to your submission (do not delete the preliminary build, we will be reviewing both)

7) Fill out the Post Document and upload it to your submission

8) You're done! Your submission will be reviewed on stream after the Curdle Sprint timer is up.

FAQs 

Q: Can I start a new project using the sprint?
A: Absolutely! You might want to check this out, though: Curdle Jam #19

Q: Am I allowed to submit the same game to more than one sprint?
A: Yes, in fact, its encouraged. 

Q: Do I have to use 2 days?
A: No, you can use more, allocate whatever time matches your scope. However, I will ask that you use at minimum 1 full day (you can split it up if you like, but the point is to see progress)

Q: Does my project have to be a game / application?
A: No. The focus of this sprint is Game Development, but as long as it can properly be reviewed and fits the format, it will fit just fine. If you're not sure, you can always shoot me a discord DM and ask :)

Q: How often will you be hosting these?
A: Every month, around the middle of the month. Curdle Jam will be at the end of each month, so they offset nicely.

Q: Why are you hosting the sprint?
A: I got inspired by a fan game project that my community made for me for my birthday. It made me think: "Stop making excuses for old unfinished projects, stop complaining that you don't have time to do what you want to do and make the time to do it." That thought helped me come up with this sprint format. 

Q: How do you benefit from this format?
A: If each month, I use this sprint to force myself to allocate time to projects that I want to finish, eventually I will finish them. The documenting will also help me improve my task management and time management. In combination with the monthly Curdle Jams, I feel that this will be a good regular exercise and keep me game dev-ing the best that I can.
