There is simply one thing that matters. 

TIME

You will have three hours to make a game following the criteria listed. There are just a few rules. 

• Content promoting our glorifying bigotry will not be approved. 
• Failure to adhere to the theme and any content requirements will result in denying submissions. (Content requirements will be announced 15 mins before the jam)
• Submissions that do not run will be denied. 
• Submissions that are submitted as a project file but require paid software will be denied. (i.e. RPG Maker and the like) 
• Troll submissions will be denied. (Troll submissions will be determined at Judge discretion but roughly includes any submissions that lack any kind of gameplay or could be deemed as Malware or Spyware)
• Submissions must be submitted in a Windows compatible format. 
• Anything else that the Judges deem with deliberation to be a submission that does not adhere to the spirit of the Jam. (i.e. submitting previously worked on projects, or stolen work) 
• Any submission that is under consideration for denial will have its creator contacted if possible to remedy the issue and resubmit (at judge discretion).
