Indie Jam
A relaxed, creativity‑first game jam focused on making something small, fun, and personal. Whether you’re experimenting with a new engine, trying out a weird mechanic, or just making your first game, this jam is meant to give you space to create without pressure.
The theme can be interpreted however you like. You’re encouraged to think creatively, twist the idea, or take it in an unexpected direction.
🎮 Basic Rules
- Make a game that fits the theme.
- You can work solo or in a team.
- Any engine or tool is allowed except AI‑generated content (see below).
- You may start brainstorming early, but all final game content must be created during the jam period.
- Reusing your own code snippets, libraries, or frameworks is allowed.
- Keep your submission appropriate for all audiences.
- Be kind and respectful to other participants.
🚫 No AI Content Rule
To keep the jam focused on human creativity:
- No AI‑generated art, sprites, textures, models, music, sound effects, writing, or code.
- AI tools may not be used to generate assets, story content, or gameplay logic.
- You may use AI for non‑creative tasks like project organization or debugging explanations, but nothing produced by AI can appear in the final game.
