FAQ
- Can I submit a game I started before the jam?
No, Games submitted must have been made during the timeframe the Jam is active for. - Do you accept team entries?
Not this time round, we are only accepting solo entries for this Jam. In the past, we have allowed team entries and ended up with none. If we permitted team entries and only one team entered, they would automatically win a prize, which would be unfair for solo entries. If we have enough interest in team entries this time around, we will look at reintroducing team entries again for the next jam. - Can I include code, controllers, script etc in my project?
Car/Character controllers, scripts, code etc are allowed as long as the visual majority is Synty Assets. - Does my game have to use a specific engine or comply with any technical restrictions?
Nope! Your game can be developed using any engine, as long as your game can be played via the browser and/or on all desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux). - Can I submit a game that isn't finished to the jam?
No stress! Unfinished or buggy games are accepted. - Can I submit a game that includes adult, gory, or other offensive stuff in it?
We recommend keeping your submission within the PG13 / Mature rating guidelines. Submissions that would be considered rated 18+ will not be accepted. Example: Any nudity has to be nonsexual, and any swear words have to be used sparingly. For the Jam, we will allow blood and minor amounts of gore. Think about whether you'd want your 12-13 year old child seeing the content. - I found bugs or issues with my game after submissions ended. Can I change the submission?
Once submissions have ended, you will no longer be able to edit your submission. However, while the submission period is open, you are able to edit your submission. - Can I vote on the entries once voting is open?
No, this time around, the Synty Team will be conducting the votes.
