Welcome!
The DSS Almost Winter Jam - SoSe26 brings students together across all semesters for a collaborative challenge.
The theme of the jam will be: CHAOS
Team Setup:
- 20 min. idea finding and documenting on a sheet of paper
- 20 min. all ideas are pitched
- 20 min. team finding (You don't have to stick to your own idea!)
- Teams will consist of members from every semester
- Try to avoid joining a team with members of your semester project.
- Collaboration across experience levels is the point — mix skills, share knowledge, and learn from each other!
Rules:
- No use of generative AI!
- The reuse of code and assets is allowed! It is not necessary to create everything from scratch.
- You can use everything you’re legally allowed to use. Give appropriate credits where required. Don't use any resources you don't have the rights to!
- No mature or disturbing content. Keep it USK 16 and below.
- Your game must be submitted via the Itch.io page of the jam.
- The submitted game must have been created entirely during the jam period.
- Your game must be playable as a WebGL build.
Voting & Criteria
On the final day, the rating period will start at 15:00 where everyone can play each other’s games and vote. Games will be rated in five categories:
- Creativity
- Artwork
- Audio
- Narrative
- Enjoyment
- Theme
There is no overall combined score — so don’t stress about being “perfect” in every area. This jam is about collaboration, experimentation and pushing boundaries while having fun doing it.
