The Flaming Hot Jam is a game jam aimed at video game development beginners. The jam lasts two months in order to allow teams that have not worked on any game before to participate, and to allow teams that are not feeling their current project to change directions . For more challenge, you may set your own timing restrictions to make the jam trickier. 

THE FOLLOWING THEME MUST BE FOLLOWED: "What was lost"

Why call it the Flaming Hot Jam? Well, for each submitted and playable entry to the game jam I will give 10$ of my own money towards clean energy research -- up to a maximum of 300$, because in the off chance this becomes really popular I'm not planning to go bankrupt. Donations on participants' end are appreciated, but not necessary. Likewise, the games do not have to be themed around climate change in any way.

The rules:

- All entries to the Flaming Hot Jam must be entirely free (that means no in-game purchases)
- Entries may not include copyrighted content. Copyrighted music, assets and characters are a no-go.
- Games must at least be playable on Windows or in a web browser. You may also target other platforms on top. 
- Be nice. Entries may be disqualified for discriminatory or mean-spirited content.
- All participants must be over 18 of age if they drink beer while coding.

Teams of all sizes are accepted. Games of all genres and all lengths are accepted.

I have a Twitter account! Announcements will be there and in the Community tab of this game jam.
