Hello again, creators, and welcome to another 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.

Hopefully by the time this jam rolls around, most of you will have used the concept jam to do some pre-production for your game. You are free to work alone or find a team (bring your friends, the more the merrier!) and create an RPG during this 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.

Rules: RPG Mania is fluid between iterations, so you may use any assets that have been created for this or any previous iteration of RPG Mania for your game! So whether you want to start fresh or polish up what you have, shoot for the stars! 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 RPG Mania. You can participate in more than one game for this jam if you wish, but if you also submit your game to a jam other than RPG Mania 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.

- As a guideline, final submissions should ideally feature an introduction to the main characters of the game and a general idea of the game's direction, but by no means does your submission 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! If you're unsure if your jam entry would qualify, you can message an admin in Discord and we will be glad to clarify.

The optional theme for RPGM VI is: Reincarnation. We look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with! Don't forget to join the Discord server if you're looking for a team!
