Hey everyone, use this thread if you're looking for a team or members for your own team! 

Hey! Currently we're not allowing updates after submissions have closed as it would be counter-intuitive and not necessarily in the spirit of a game jam because it would make having a jam period meaningless since the point is to do the best you can within those 2 weeks. It'd be possible for submissions to be continually worked on even after submissions have ended, and we feel this would be unfair to everyone, especially if favoritism is shown for specific cases. Apologies but this is a limitation that we want to respect.

Heya! The idea behind our rule "Only use assets that you have either created yourself (or team) within the jam period" isn't to force devs to create an entirely new game engine/architecture or framework that is already built-in or should be. The main purpose is to prohibit and discourage entrants from using pre-built projects and assets. For the stock images, I would still provide credit unless you're sure, beyond a reasonable doubt, you wouldn't need to.

Also, the analogue in "analogue-horror" is more or less optional for your entry. The main focus is primarily horror and the entities or anomalies you can think up. It could be something as mundane as a glass of water that never changes and only stays lukewarm, or as silly as a sasquatch that hunts people from a dumpster behind a grocery store. Just try to make it a horror game, even if you don't really know how or if your game counts as horror. We ask entrants to keep in mind this is a horror jam for horror games, but your game doesn't need to fit in perfectly. We certainly encourage you guys to try out something new and experiment with new concepts and ideas. Hope that answers your question and helps to clear up the confusion. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and apologize for the delay! 

Hey there,

1. Yes external assets are fine to use but we ask you have the proper rights to them and credit them on your entry.  

2. You can source textures and pre-made assets, write an outline and such, however, we ask you do not include your own models, levels, code, etc before the jam period.

3. We discourage just submitting a game or complete parts of a game you worked on in the past, and we certainly encourage you to make your assets during the jam period, however, we understand that many solo devs make use of texture libraries, and other free or bought assets.

In the future we'll try and be more specific regarding certain rules. Apologies for any confusion, and if you have any more questions please let us know!

Use this thread to look for teammates for your project!
