THEME: What Can Go Wrong, Will

Hello and welcome to GADIG's game jam event: JAMfest! JAMfest is a celebration of any and all creative expression! It's like a hackathon, but for anything creative. Got a game idea you want to make really fast? Cool! Want to make a character design and draw it, make a dance routine, come up with a cool outfit, make a story, or write music? All of those are great, too. Let's make something cool this JAMfest!

We also have a 36 hour long live stream running during the event where we play games, run gameshows, and host other fun activities to support Extra Life. At the end of the event we will be playing your submissions live to show them off.

Rules

1. Anything (code, art, sound, choreography) you create for this jam must be created during the Jam Period.
2. For games, you may use asset packs if you want! If you do, please be sure to credit the source of the asset pack with its name and the name of its creator.
3. AI-generated code is strongly discouraged. If you aren't able to code very well, form a team! Teamwork is a valuable experience. AI can be used to help organize your code, but you'll need to be able to proofread it. AI does get things wrong!
4. AI-generated art and Sound are entirely banned. We have people who can make these things, and if you can't find a team, give it your best shot! If you're new to art or sound, check out the resources in the next section for help. Let's learn together <3
5. Keep it PG-13. We're all adults here, but we're also playing submissions on a charity stream that raises money for a children's hospital!
6. Take breaks and get water when you need it. :)
