Have any questions about the jam? Let us know here!
Q: If I have an object head character who isn't an object head all the time, is it still allowed?
A: As long as the story focuses on the concept of object heads, then yes! Do not show a character with an object head in one scene and never be brought up again, the characters and their object heads must play an active role in driving the story.
Q: What is and isn't considered an object head? Skeletons? Robots? Siren Head?
A: This is a difficult question to answer, due to how broad the category of object heads can be. Even though the rules state that the character must have a non-human head and humanoid body, we encourage you to be creative in your design. Admins may review submissions and will use their best judgment to determine if the character is an object head or not.
Q: Then what about anthro?
A: There is no reason for it to be disbarred as long as everything besides the head remains humanoid. For example, an anthropomorphic needle that looks mostly human but has pointy ends in place of hands or feet would be allowed while a sentient needle whose entire body and head consists of the inanimate object (E.g., the brooms from The Sorcerer's Apprentice) would not.
Q: Are submissions to other jams allowed?
A: Of course!
Q: What about characters wearing masks to appear like an object head or their head *is* a mask?
A: Same as the first question! If these characters have masks to resemble an object head, the masks must play an important role in the story. If their head is a mask, that's already an object head!
