👋 WELCOME

This VR Jam is a month-long game jam focused on VR games and is open to all skill levels.

This jam is for fun and to increase your skill level in developing VR games! If you need help making your game, want to find teammates, or need to show off your project, do a post in the Skool community (https://skool.com/vrcreatoracademy)!

We'll be doing ratings, but that's mainly for the purposes of getting feedback on your game, not to see who is the "winner". To this end, there won't be prizes for this particular jam.

🎨 THEME: GRAVITY

The theme is totally optional and something to use as inspiration if you're using this jam to start a new project. It's loose and open to interpretation.

💯 RATING

At the end of the Jam, a rating period will last seven days. Voting is open to all submitters and contributors. Your game will be rated on:

Enjoyment - How much you enjoyed playing this game? 
Concept - How exciting or unique the game is. 
Presentation - How well executed the game is. 

🏆 PRIZES

No prizes for this jam, but every submission will be reviewed by Justin and he'll be giving a video analysis of each one!

📏 RULES/FAQ

Rules:

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

Keep game content clean. No NSFW content, offensive content, or excessive gore/violence.

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.

FAQ:

Can I submit more than one game?  Yes, but I would advise against it.

Can I submit a game I already made?  Yes! This is supposed to be a chill jam, mainly for the purposes of pushing yourself and getting feedback on projects.

Can I make changes during the rating period? Yes, again, a chill jam.

What engine can I use? You can use any engine or framework you like. You can even make your own if you want.

Can I join my team? Yes! There is no limit on team size. Find a team in the Skool community if you want!

Do I have to follow the theme? Well, technically.... no, but your rating will suffer. Working with limitations helps your creativity, so try to run with it!

I have code and assets from other Jams I wish to use, are these allowed? Yes! If you have the right to use it, anything that wasn't explicitly made for this particular jam is allowed. This jam, in particular, isn't strict on the "build it from scratch" ruling. All assets must be noted when submitting your game.

Help! I couldn't submit it on time; what do I do? There will be an announcement on the Skool community page about how to submit late if you missed the deadline.

🏁 STARTER PROJECT

Feel free to use Valem's project to get started. It contains a basic menu with Scene Transition, Audio Manager, and a main scene with some preconfigured interactable. https://github.com/ValemVR/VR-Game-Jam-Template Of course, using this starter project is optional, but it can save you some precious time during the jam.  💪
