KO!! 72-Hour Slam-Jam

Presented by the Knockout.chat community, a friendly and welcoming forums!

Date: Jan 13-16, 2023 / Midnight to Midnight EST

🥊Welcome to the first 'KO!! Slam-Jam'!

The Slam-Jam is a short and sweet, 72 hour, game dev jam hosted by the Knockout.chat community.
All devs are welcome to participate! You do not have to be a member of Knockout.chat to run in this event.
How to Slam Jam with the Triple Stack
Slam-Jams are a themed event so please build your game around an idea presented by one of the themes. You may use any number or combination of the themes to inspire your work. We suggest taking the (Spice Word) as an adjective/modifier for the theme that's put next to it. e.g. (Cute) Electronics is 'Electronics theme with a suggested 'cute' bend to it'. Spice Words (inspired by KO ratings) are completely optional and are up to your interpretation.

Prizes and Claiming your Crown
This is a prize-pool'd event and, if you win one of the community's two votes, you'll be able to pick one prize or donate a prize back to the community. (First come, first served!) There are no engine restrictions and you may use any third-party assets you have access to in this jam. We only ask that your game be playable on Windows. Voting will take place on Knockout.chat and the thread for it will be posted here once  the submission period ends. Once votes are tallied, you will be contacted through your Jam Entry with instructions on how to pick your prizes. Unclaimed prizes will be donated to the community ten (10) days after the jam's voting period ends.


Rules

1. Winners are determined by community vote. There are two categories: Best use of Theme and Players' Choice.

2. You may do concept work before the start of the jam in the form of notes, preparation, idea maps, and the like. 

3. Judging will occur on Knockout.chat. The judging period will begin the day after the jam ends and go for 1 week. At the end of that week, the winners will be announced.

4. Winners get one* pick from the prize pool each; the remaining prizes will go to the community via random selection. Winners may opt to donate any number of picks to the community. 

5. Your game must not feature bigoted content. The runners of the competition hold final say on what games are eligible for judging. 

6. This is a casual jam, so have fun! The objective is to come up with a crunchy, fun, and short game so don't stress too much about it. We recommend shooting for 5 to 20 minutes of play.
