Can gamedevs of non-winning entries continue developing the game and publish it? (Without your assets obviously)
Absolutely! You can continue developing and publish your game without our assets if you don’t win. We encourage creativity and further development.
Gameplay Restrictions:
We’re quite flexible with the gameplay mechanics.
Here are some specifics:
2.1. Combat:
- Both real-time and turn-based combat are acceptable.
2.2. World:
- Menu-separated levels, hub world-separated levels, open world, procedural, or any mix of these are all acceptable.
2.3. More Action or Puzzles:
- Either more action-oriented or puzzle-heavy games are welcome.
2.4. Microtransactions:
- Microtransactions are generally discouraged for the game jam submissions.
2.5. Endless Game or Set Amount of Levels:
- Both endless games and games with a set number of levels are acceptable.
2.6. Story Heavy:
- Story-heavy games are definitely welcome.
2.7. RPG Elements, Character Customization, Progression, Leveling:
- These elements are all acceptable and can add great depth to your game.
2.8. Multiplayer: Online, Local, Coop, VS:
- Multiplayer in any form (online, local, co-op, vs) is perfectly fine.
There are no strict restrictions beyond these guidelines, and we want to see how creative you can get with the Zombeez assets. Feel free to experiment and bring your unique vision to life!
