Do you have an old game idea that's been collecting dust in your head, or need a kick in the pants to make your game idea into a reality? Or do you just have a shiny new idea you can't wait to work on? Whatever it is, come join us for the Dusty Old Game Jam!

This isn't a short jam where you crank out whatever you can in a week. You have a solid 6 months to put some polish on your ideas!

RULES

• Starts 01/13/24  - Ends 07/20/24 Midnight EST
• That's 6 months+1 week
• There is a week long voting period, starts on  07/20/24 midnight EST
• There is NO CONSTRAINT, just make your game, and put some polish to an old idea, or a new idea!
• But be WARNED, games submitted at the start of the jam will be heavily scrutinized and rated accordingly. Please don't be that person. This is largely just for fun, and to encourage your ideas to be worked on and polished. If you are just submitting your games everywhere, I reserve the right to remove them.

• Use any game engine you would like to use, some options if this is your first game jam

Unreal Engine (3D, and 2D)

Unity (3D, and 2D)

Godot (3D, and 2D)

pygame (library, primarily 2D)

GameMaker (Primariy 2D)

• All art should be your own, or you have the rights to it.

Judging Criteria

• Polished Mechanics
• Unexpected mechanics
• Visuals
• Sound
• Uniqueness
• Cohesiveness

• The winner of the jam will get a shiny jam winner name on the discord (if you're into that). Entries will be streamed on twitch. (Possibly all, or only some, see note at end) Time of the stream will be announced after the jam voting period is over.

There is a #find-a-team channel on my discord. When the jam period roles around. It's probably the easiest place to find people to work with for the jam. (If that's your thing)

As usual, feel free to join the discord server. StoreBoughtRocketGames. I will make announcements in both places. But, we do have a lot of fun in the discord, and I and others in the discord enjoy seeing peoples progress as they make their games.

Mortician of Faith will stream games entered into the game jam on his twitch channel. If there are too many games entered into the jam, it may be split into multiple weeks, or we may choose to have only the top 3-5 jam submissions streamed. All dependent on how long games are, and what is feasible. That also means the rating period could be extended a week given the length of games submitted.
