It's back, with a whole week this time! A joint game jam between the Game Developers Clubs of UMD, AACC, and UMBC!

This is a very lax, non-competitive game Jam.  Whether it may be your first time ever at developing a game, or you're a game dev supreme master, this Jam is open to competitors of all experience levels.

For more information, and questions you might have, please join the official jam Discord server! https://discord.gg/pTSSyK6

[--RULES--]

  1. You may work by yourself or as a group
    1. Note: Please limit your teams to 8 people MAXIMUM
  2. You may use whatever free assets or templates you may own for this jam.  However, please put more effort into your game than just "reskinning" assets (you must show to some degree that your team designed the game). You got a whole week this time, so no excuses.
  3. Please submit your build as a Windows build by 7 PM ET on Friday, February 19.
  4. Please list your school (UMBC, UMD, AACC) on your submissions.
  5. Have fun!

If you are new to game Jams, it is recommended looking here to take a look at free resources that are available.

[--GUIDELINES--]

Your game does not need to lie within the bounds of the Theme.  It can be about any topic you want.  Unlike other game Jams, the theme is just there to give you an idea. The theme does not affect your score.

Many of you we know may be making your first game.  For those who are not quite that familiar with how to do so, don't fret too much about how far you go.  We know time limits can be super stressful, and you're already students with enough on your plate after all.

It is always ok to borrow ideas, assets, or anything from outside resources.  You do not need to make everything from the ground up.

Don't be afraid to ask others for help.  We want to see you succeed!

[--CRITERIA--]

The Jam is judged based on the following:

  • Creativity
  • Mechanics/Game Design
  • Visual/Audio Design
  • Completeness
