THEME

The theme this jam is: GRAND

The theme this jam will be GRAND. Something that is grand is large and impressive. It can describe big things, like the Grand Canyon for example. You can also use grand to mean wonderful. A grand is also slang for a thousand (dollars). The latin root is grandis, which means big, great, full, or abundant.

Lacking the tools to make your game? We've teamed up with Humble to bring you the Grand Game Dev Toolbox: a vast library of graphics, music, sfx, and software to make your indie project! Create isometric CRPGS with RPG Tools. Light up your sprites with SpriteIlluminator. Create striking pixel art with the Pixelmash editor. And explore a vast library of game making assets; including the entire Tiny Tales catalogue and character sprite generator! 

A grand collection of over $1,000 in game making tools for whatever you want to pay. Part of the proceeds also go to JDRF and their mission to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Pay what you want to get 14 items or a premium to get them all!
