Fun Fact: This jam starts on Kindred's birthday and ends on Janna's birthday!

• The number one rule is have fun! What's the point if it's not fun?!
• Do not make any game that includes hate speech or NSFW content. It will be removed. Please don't make us have to remove your game, we want everyone to have fun!
• Respect the other participants! Everybody here deserves some respect. For some it might be their very first game or game jam entry, and that's okay! When reviewing the work of others just try to be positive and respectful.
• If you use pre-made assets, code libraries, sprites, 3d models, or otherwise please give proper credit to the creator in your submission.
• Please stay within the timeframe. We know people get excited, but please wait until the jam starts to start working on assets and code! It's not fair to the other participants if you jump the gun.

• Is there a team member limit? There is no limit to the number of collaborators in a group, but we recommend 1-4 people
• How long is the jam? 7 days!
• What game engines can I use? UE4, Unity, Godot, Stencyl, Scratch or whatever else you want!
• Can I enter if I've never made a game? Yes! All skill levels are welcome! We absolutely encourage people new to game development to join up and give it a try!
• Where can I find team members? You can try the Jam's community tab or join our discord which is full of people who want to team up with you!

This jam will be voted on by the public; anyone is welcome to vote! Voting will start at the end of the jam and be open through April 17th, 11:59pm PST.
