This jam has ended. Next jam - FediJam2: A Handshake in October

Hi, Jammer!

This is the first gamejam i am hosting, after joining many and submitting to some.
I got a bit tired of jams that build their communities on Discord and marketing - on locked down platforms.
This one is aimed at a bit different people. It is for free and federated folks, and everyone else who is interested.
The main and hopefully the only compromise of this jam should be Itch itself.

This is the very first iteration of this jam. Yes, it is on a very short notice, but i felt like if i postpone it, I will never get to it.
After all, i have postponed it for around half a year already.

## WHAT IS FEDIVERSE?

An alternative decentralized social networking.
Make your own server, build your own community, set your rules, establish relations with other hubs.

...or find some people you like and move in with them.
One account can be heard across many servers - don't worry too much and find the most comfortable, no matter how small.

It is not only about blogging and facebook-like activity, there is videohosting and literally whatever, all opensource and all tied together.
Decentralized and more human moderation makes for a different atmosphere.

## RULES

•  The game should be made during the jam.
• Using premade assets (like sounds, models and textures) that you have a legal right to use is ok.
• Use a free and opensource engine. This one is not enforced, but some people won't play your game if you don't.
•  Publish your sourcecode and include a link on your game page.
• If your game has NSFW, mark it appropriately.
• Teams are up to 4 people
• For non-web (downloadable) games, Linux and Windows versions are required. Mac support is complicated, cannot be required, but encouraged.
  

## NOTES

After submission ends, I will make posts with source code links (or repost you if you do it yourself), so that people who do not want to touch Itch can still play the games submitted.
In the sources, try to provide instructions on how to compile (if needed) and run. You can add it after submission, it is just a recommendation so that more people can enjoy your wonderful game.
