Welcome to the SHU Game Development Societies March Game Jam!

 This Jam will be running from the morning of Saturday the 2nd of March to Midnight on Sunday the 32st of March. 

The theme for the Jam is the prompt: "BLANK meets BLANK? What an unusual matchup!"

Your games should try to draw their inspiration from two pre-existing IPs which wouldn't go together at first glance. This doesn't have to be two games, it could be any other type of media/ themes so long as you think you can make a game out of it. For some examples think of Palworld being Pokemon meets Guns (or Ark maybe, I've not played it),  or Choo Choo Charles being Thomas the Tank Engine meets Survival Horror. 

Please bear in mind this theme does not mean you shouldn't bear copyright in mind, try not completely rip off anyone else game or use any copyrighted materials, especially if you think you want to publish it online after.  I'd rather this jam go completely off the radars of any corporate lawyers.

Other rules/notes:

• No offensive content. Not only will your submission be discarded from the Jam and it may have affect your relationship with this society and possibly the wider university. If you want to include something in your game but are not sure, contact me (Society Secretary) and I will discuss it with other members of the committee/student union if necessary, and get back to you on if it is appropriate.
• Don't ruin your degree. If you feel you don't have time to make your dream game or participate due to studies, or other life commitments, then don't. Your degree/ mental health is more important. If you really want to participate but are limited on time, consider making something simple, often it is the simpler games which are the most fun anyway.
• All Engines are allowed. But obviously not any you shouldn't have access to (pointing that out just in case).

Of course the most important thing is to have fun, as that is what games are all about.

Good Luck!
