Joining the Discord allows you to suggest theme ideas, discuss the jam, and add music to our SPOOKY JAM Spotify playlist π΅
This jam takes place over the weekend of 20th-22nd October, starting and ending at 6pm BST (1pm ET / 10am PST). Voting will run until the weekend before Halloween, with the results revealed at 4pm on Saturday 28th October!
The previous 2D Jams (Spooky 2D Jam 2020 | Spring 2D Jam 2021 | Spooky 2D Jam 2021 | Spring 2D Jam 2022 | Spring 2D Jam 2023) have been great successes, with over 300 games made by hundreds of jammers and a fantastic community spirit. Let's make this one even bigger and better!
π‘ THEME:
The theme will be revealed when the jam starts. Theme ideas will be suggested by the jammers on the Discord server, and the most popular themes will be put into a vote. Voting closes and the theme is revealed at 6pm (BST) on Friday 20th, when the jam begins. Feel free to interpret the theme however you want - be creative! You can also ignore the theme altogether if you want. We're not too strict here.
π PRIZE:
The 1st/2nd/3rd place submissions will win gift cards for a platform of the winner's choosing (e.g Steam, Itch.io) - $20, $15, and $10 in that order! If the winning submission is made by a team, each member will get an equal split of the prize. I'll contact the submitter of the winning project shortly after the results are revealed to sort out the prize.
π RULES:
The rules are as follows;
- Your game should be 2D. You can use any engine or tools you want as long as the final game is 2D. ("2.5D" is also allowed but other jammers might have a different definition of "2.5D" and vote your game down for it.)
- Try to make your game relevant to the theme, and relevant to halloween/spookiness in general.
- You cannot submit a game that you made or started making before the jam began. The game must be specifically for this jam. Also, it is preferred that all assets are created during the 48 hour jam time. You can use premade assets, but you MUST declare them (this includes AI art or code)!
- You can work solo or as part of a team of any size.
- No excessive/offensive gore or horror. Try and make something suitable for all ages!
- No NSFW content or any content that could be considered racist/sexist/homophobic etc.
- Please keep any discussion with fellow jammers respectful, and just be nice in general!
π³οΈ RATING CRITERIA:
Rating will be open for 6 days after the jam closes, closing on Saturday 28th October at 6pm BST (1pm ET / 10am PST). The rating criteria is as follows (with equal weight for each criteria):
- Gameplay / Fun πΉοΈ
- Graphics / Visuals π¨
- Audio π΅
- How much do you like the game overall? π
- Is it spooky and does it follow the theme? π»
