Rules/Guidelines

1. You're free to use any engine and resources that you have the right to use! Please consider crediting your tools and sources for assets/code in the submission page.

2. You can re-use stuff from previous projects as long as the intention is creating a new project for this jam.

2. No discriminatory or offensive content in relation to gender, religion, race, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, etc.

3. Be respectful to your teammates and your fellow jammers.

4. There are no restrictions on team size, but larger teams (6+ people) may be harder to manage during a game jam. We encourage you to welcome all skill levels and to meet someone new to make a game with!

5. No NSFW content. Most participants are university students, so some mature content is allowed, but please do not make your games excessively explicit. If in doubt, please consider using content warnings.
