Vandal Game Jam

Welcome to the Vandal Game Jam! This 48(ish)-hour event brings together students from the University of Idaho to create and submit games.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or a first-timer, this is a great opportunity to meet fellow creators, experiment, and have fun.

Theme

The theme for the jam will be announced at the opening ceremony, and will be updated here as well. Remember, theme is purely inspirational and it's not required that you incorporate it into your game. Feel free to interpret it however you want. 

AS DECIDED AT THE OPENING CEREMONY, THE THEME IS BREAD!

Submission Details

If your game isn't finished by the deadline, no worries! Late submissions are accepted throughout the jam's voting period.

Join the discord server if you have any questions or just want to hang out with fellow jammers.

Ratings

At the end of the Jam, there will be a voting period. Anyone who submits a game to the jam, as well as any team members that added as contributors to your game's project page can rate other games for the jam. Game will be rated on the following criteria:

• Enjoyment - How much you enjoyed your time with the game.
• Gameplay  - How interesting or unique the main functionality of the game was.
• Presentation  - How well executed the main focus of the game was.

Keep in mind that the theme is purely for inspiration, and you should not rate a game differently based on how well the theme was incorporated. 

Rules

Read the rules! Not reading the rules is not an excuse for breaking them.

• Keep game content clean. Any and all NSFW content, potentially offensive content, graphic content etc. will not be tolerated and will be removed from the game jam with no warning.

• Answer submission questions honestly You will be prompted to answer a few questions when submitting your game. Please answer them to the best of your ability. Giving vague answers is a great way to set off red flags.

Any games that do not follow the rules will be removed from the jam without warning.
