Hello again, creators, and welcome to the second rendition of RPG Mania!

RPGs like Final Fantasy, Earthbound and Chrono Trigger have stood the test of time. With sprawling worlds, unique characters and epic tales of world-ending cataclysm, this genre has always opened up so many possibilities for fantastic story-telling and intuitive gameplay.

My challenge once again to all of you is to find a team (bring your friends, the more the merrier!) and create an RPG during the jam period. You can use any game engine that you have at your disposal (Unity, Unreal, Godot, RPG Maker, etc.) and the style can be whatever you choose, be it 2D, pixel art, 3D - the world is yours to design.

This time around, the jam time is being doubled - going from August 15th all the way to October 15th when voting will commence! The voting period as well will last for a full two weeks after.

Rules:
- Any original assets must be created during the jam period, but you can do as much pre-production and concepting as you want prior to the start of the jam. You can also use any assets that are available to the public or that you have proper licensing for.
- Submissions must be done specifically for this jam. You can participate in more than one game for this jam if you wish, but if you submit your game to multiple jams it will be disqualified/removed.
- All game submissions must be free to download and play until after the voting period is over. After the voting period is finished, you are free to do what you want with your game.
- Final submissions will ideally feature an introduction to the main characters of the game and a general idea of the game's direction, but by no means do they need to be complete.

You can make a game with a battle system as robust or limited as you wish, or solely focus on narrative. The choice is yours!

Join our Discord server and find a team today! The optional theme for this jam is MAGIC VS. TECHNOLOGY. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Good luck!

Edit: The submission period was extended up until October 29th! This means voting will go for the two weeks following this and end November 12th.
