Hardcore Punk Jam was started to build a sense of community in as much of anti-consumerist framework as humanly possible. At its crux, games are the communication of ideas through interaction and rules. This jam serves as a catalyst for the emphasis of politically challenging expression, a search for truth and the rejection of conventional culture. Push boundaries, break conventions and express yourself. If you have something that you're too afraid to say, this is the place to do it. No judgement, no egos, no bullshit. Anything goes!

Announced in our Discord server on Friday 10th September (5pm GMT)

10 diversifiers in addition to the theme will be also announced. 

The HCPJ diversifiers are voluntary and secondary to the theme. They aim to motivate more experienced game jammers towards creating a second layer of constraint in order to push developers in interesting creative directions.
