Theme
The theme of this jam will be voted on via a Mastodon poll, going live 24 hours before the jam starts.
Following the theme is optional! However, ignoring it will result in a lower overall score, since "Theme" is a rating category. You'll be given the chance to explain how your game fits the theme when submitting it to the jam.
Rules
- Post about your game under the hashtag #FediJam. (You'll have to provide a link to this post when submitting)
- No paid games! Set your game's pricing option to either "No payments" or "$0 or donate".
- Reusing old assets and/or code is allowed. Don't just re-upload an old game, though!
- You may only use assets and code that you have the legal right to use.
- No AI generated content (text, sound, images – nothing!)
- No NSFW content, e.g. excessive gore, nudity, etc.
- Monstrous Desires - a horror jam for monsters!
