Welcome

This year, too, you can participate in the M.D.C. Game Jam. It is designed for Godot developers and beginners who want to learn how to make computer games using the Godot game engine. Anyone who makes games as non-violent using the Godot game engine will be considered for voting and rewards. It is also important that the game be aligned with the platformer theme. There will be three periods:
- learning through free video materials
- making games and setting them up
- voting period
The learning period will last until the submission of games (маrch 2020). Games making period is almost three months (ends in June 2020).

Game Jam information (making and setting period)

When submitting video games, the following must be observed:
- the game should be made using Godot game engine
- it needs to be non-violent, the player can solve different tasks, but the fight can only be with time or result
- the game should be educational so that the player has something to learn, that is, to have a story
- game creation can be started before Game Jam
- the content of the game should be within the platformer theme
- it should have at least three screenshots and good page at itch
- the game should have an introduction that describes how the game is played and what controls are used in the game
- should have a minimum of three levels and a game-play longer than nine minutes for someone who is playing it for the first time
- max number of games submitted is three per creator

How can your game be meaningful? (good game content)

Ask yourself what the player will learn from it? How does your game help players? Your game might help in solving real-life problems. Maybe they could do something that makes it easier to organize a business or simulate certain processes. Think about whether you wish you were the main character in the game you're making. Also, think about what kind of game you would like to play and what you could make of it?
