Theme: Learn from Your Enemies

Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/zTvaKNhS

This game jam, a continuation of our practice series, is a non-competitive jam that is meant to help encourage developers to practice their game-making skills.  Sometimes having an external deadline can help motivate us to practice and take action.  Consider this jam your opportunity to sharpen your game development skills, with no pressure.

If you want to join the competitive, ranked version, here's the link:https://itch.io/jam/ranked-practice-jam-6

Here is a good article to learn more about what a jam is and how to participate: https://intogames.org/news/game-jams-101-core-games/

The theme will be announced at the start date.  Feel free to use any development tool you would like. 

If you are going to submit a game, please keep it safe for work.

Anti-Spam Rules

To prevent people spamming games that were not made for this game, your game must meet the following guidelines:

1. You must only submit them to this current practice jam (you can still submit to both ranked and unranked).  

2. You must include in your game description a sentence or two explaining how your game implements the game jam theme.  I was hoping that players would be able to figure out from playing how the theme fits in, because I think that's part of the fun of creativity, but unfortunately, due to this low-effort spamming, I think this is a necessary step at this time.  Players are still free to NOT look at that part, if they want to determine the theme fit for themselves.


I think one of the problems aspiring developers face, especially if they have been doing a bunch of tutorials, is that they never actually put what they've learned to use.  My goal is to help provide an opportunity to practice the skills that you've learned.  All skill levels are welcome. It's ok if you don't finish your game, or even if you don't feel comfortable sharing your game with us here on Itch.io.  You can still follow along with the themes and work on a project on your own.  Although, at some point it is good to share and get feedback from others on your game. Feel free to join in if you'd like!
