***This is an engine-specific game jam and access to Hology Engine will be provided to all incoming participants in the Discord Server with links to tutorials and documentation.


Rules

  • This is an exclusive engine jam, which means only submissions created using the Hology Engine will be allowed.
  • We encourage you to create as many assets and code as you can during the game jam, but reusing existing code and assets is allowed to an extent.
  • No re-skinning of games made outside of the jam.
  • You can use code from open-source projects or tutorials such as the ones in the rolling ball tutorial, character movement, and code written outside of the jam as long as it is publicly available for others to use. 
  • You may use public copyright-free assets, but please link the copyright-free asset (that you did not create) source onto the Excel team sheet. 
  • No AI-generated work. This includes no using AI tools to create assets for your game as well as using AI tools to program your game. We are not partnered with AI companies for this game jam.
  • Entries made to both this jam and others prior will be removed unless otherwise allowed by the organizers.
  • Please see the Links below on how to upload your game to itch.io. In place of submitting to itch.io, using Github Pages will work also but need to submit the link with the team Excel document. 
  • We will not tolerate racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination and NSFW when it comes to participation in the jam or submissions made.
  • No new content may be uploaded after the submission deadline (no music, no polish, no tweaks). The only approved changes are GAME BREAKING bug fixes. Please include other bugs (e.g. doesn’t play in full-screen, etc.) as information on your entry’s page.
  • Submissions may be removed at the discretion of the organizers.
  • Complete rules document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LTgnkQjCO2y3NmEH05rrWpQmcHgsI5dZreswEC4e1rg/...
  • Have fun and let us know if you need any help!


FAQ

  • Do I have to create everything myself? No, that's okay if you want to use public-domain art/sounds (No AI art/sounds). We do though encourage participants to team up and create together.


  • Can I use stuff I've already made? To an extent with assets. The spirit of the jam is that you make something new, not reuse an existing game to fit the criteria.


  • Can I update the game after submission? No, unless it is a serious game-breaking bug. Please contact the organizers on Discord if your game has a bug, they will review it on a case-by-case basis. Please playtest your game both in the engine and as an export on your itch.io game page! 


  •   How do I find teammates if I do not have a team yet? Come to our Discord server and we have a looking for team channel for Game Jam Participants.
