Hey! I'm Manisha and I run a little game dev channel called Wannibe Manisha where I share devlogs about the games I make. Join us for a friendly game jam this summer and show everyone what you've got!! :)


Timeline

This is a 9-day game jam spanning from August 15th to August 24th. Please note the timestamps above -this is when the jam will start at your local time.  After the jam period, there will be a one-week voting period where you can play everyone's games and rank them.

Eligibility & Rules

This game jam is open to everyone of all ages and all team sizes. Use this opportunity to meet new people, collaborate with friends on a cool project, or work on that solo project you've been daydreaming about! You can use any game engine to make your game. Free assets and assets obtained legally are allowed to be used in your submission.  

We encourage you not to use artifical intelligence and/or generative AI in your game submissions. However, we are only able to monitor the use of AI generated images, graphics and audio assets. The game jam exists to encourage collaboration and refining our game dev skills.

Theme

The theme will be announced the morning of Day 1! Stay tuned.

Voting Criteria

Voting criteria are a good reminder of what to focus on for your submission. Voting is open to the public. Here are the categories that all participants will be able to vote and be ranked on:

  • Fun: How much did you enjoy playing the game?
  • Art/Graphics: How good does the game looks visually? Simplicity and charm count! 
  • Audio: How good are the music and sound effects? Was it complementary to the game?
  • Theme: How well was the theme added into the game?
  • Originality: Was there something unique about the game? 

Sponsorships

This jam is proudly sponsored by CraftPix (https://craftpix.net/), offering 2D/3D game assets for indie developers. The top 5 winners will receive 1-year CraftPix memberships.
