Hello, Ghouls and Ghosts!

Let's get spooky and make some terrifying games in a short amount of time. Huzzah!!

The theme will be announced the day the jam begins, and will be randomly chosen from a list Madolah and dosmaen put together.

The Rules:

• Use what you feel comfortable with

Whether it's X86 assembly, Unity, HTML5, or GB Studio, all are welcome. It's encouraged to use a tool that can export out to as many platforms as possible.

• Work as a team or go solo

If you're really good at one area of game development but need help in others feel free to reach out and partner up. You can find partners on our discord, irc, forums, or on the community page on here.

• Try to make assets within the time frame

You're welcome to reuse small things from other projects, but try to make most of the art sound and music during the time frame.

• Stick to the the theme / limitation

Games are scored based on how well they stick to the theme / limitation. So try to keep them as part of your design.

• Content warning

Anything that's NSFW or overly violent in nature must be fully disclosed beforehand. We don't want people to walk into anything too brain shattering please.

Contest Winners: 

• Contest voting will declare the 'BEST OVERALL GAME' , and 'MOST CLEVER IDEA/CONCEPT'  and 'PRETTIEST VISUALS' 

•  BEST OVERALL GAME winner, will be the proud owner of some clout, BUT WAIT THERS MORE! The Winner also gets a <$20USD game of their choice off of Itch.io  or their Steam Wishlist. 

• MOST CLEVER CONCEPT and PRETTIEST VISUALS both get Clout, They also can contribute a Theme idea to bypass top of the list of replacements, and instead pick one of the current theme-wheel choices to replace for Next SWGJ's Theme Wheel!
