Welcome to Sharadiya Game Jam 2020. 

The purpose of this Community only Game Jam is to encourage and support creators of Kolkata Game Developers Group. The Jam lasts two weeks from September 26 to October 10 after which the games will be judged by a small panel of judges. 

Game Jam?? 

A game jam is a hackathon-ish event where programmers, artists, and enthusiasts, gather to make video games over one week, following a theme provided during the event. This event is not exclusive to professionals, everyone is welcome! If you're a programmer, artist, animator, musician, storyteller, game designer, or just want to get involved in making video games in one way or another, this is the event you should be looking for!

Theme : 

There are two themes in this Jam. You can make games based on any of the themes.

Theme 1: Science-Fiction (Popular Choice)

Theme 2: Supernatural (Sponsor Choice)

Rules :

• Creators are free to use any tools or assets they have the right to use. This includes tools and assets they have created prior to the start of the jam, tools, and assets that are free for anyone to use and tools and assets they have purchased a license to use. You can also source your assets from freelancers. Proper credit must be given if required by the licenses for the tools and assets.
• Creators of all skill levels are encouraged to join. The games will be primarily judged on game design, puzzle design, and writing. The flashy professional looking game with amazing graphics is by no means guaranteed to win. We're looking for fun, well-written, well-designed games here, even if they have some flaws. Of course, if your game is so buggy that it's not fun to play, that's a problem.
• The game must be in English. You will not be judged on your English ability, but it must be understandable.
• The game must be playable on Windows. Other platforms are optional.
• A team can consist of any number of members.
• At the sole discretion of the judges, any entry can be disqualified for the prize if it is deemed to be in violation of any of these rules.

Prizes!!

The creator ( or team) of the game the judges deem to be the best will be given a brand new  XP-Pen Graphics Drawing Tablet as the prize (one for the entire team). This prize is meant to inspire digital drawing, designing, animation, aid online teaching & online video conferencing.

The Winner of the Jam will be announced on 15th October 2020.

(The prize is sponsored by Flying Robot Studios)
