Theme(s)
When the game jam starts, 3 themes will be announced from which you can choose. If you are creative you may even combine more than one theme. Feel free to interpret the themes however you want, but please note that using at least one of the themes is mandatory and completely neglecting them will get you disqualified. You may write a small section on your game's page on how you implemented the selected theme(s) in order to make your interpretation more transparent to us.
The themes will be announced below once the game jam starts.
| Attraction and repulsion |
| Chain reactions |
| Take control |
Submitting your game
To submit a game, you first create a game page from your dashboard. There you fill in the needed information, do uploads, add a game description and images, etc. After that, you can submit your game to the Waltzing Game Jam from this page (by clicking "Submit a project") and selecting it from the drop-down field in the next prompt. On submit you are also asked to provide some additional information, e.g. how many people have contributed to your game and if you created all graphics and audio yourself.
Please note that depending on how much work you want to put into the presentation of your game's page, you should plan enough time for doing so.
Rating
The entries of this game jam are rated by a jury.
Rules
| • | There is no maximum number of contributors per game entry, but the total price value is fixed for each place. |
| • | You may use any code basis or game engine of your choice to start your game on. |
| • | We would like you to build your game at least for Windows - or ideally you could make a web build. WebGL builds are supported with most game engines and itch.io allows for embedding WebGL on your game's page very easily. |
| • | You are allowed to use graphics and audio from other sources but you have to tell us so by checking a corresponding field on the submission page. Please note that graphics and audio are part of the rating process and you will more likely get a higher score if graphics and audio are done by yourself. |
| • | Your game needs to be free. We will not buy your game to rate it! After the rating is done, you are free to change the pricing of your game. |
| • | Editing uploads on your game page is disabled during the rating period. Make sure to finish your game entry early enough. |
| • | Note that any form of racism, discrimination, hate speech, or alike will get you and your game disqualified immediately. |
