Welcome to Walking Sim Jam. This Game Jam is all about storytelling. Videogames are an amazing medium for communicating ideas, experiences or anything else to an audience by literally putting them in that situation. You have the power to create all sorts of narrative though visuals and sound, so go and use it!

Theme:

The theme will be announced at the start of the Game Jam. - Theme: 'Flow'

The theme will be determined by me.

Voting:

The voting categories will be: 

  • Fun  -  How much did you enjoy the game?
  • Visuals - How good does the game look?
  • Audio - How good is the sound design?
  • Creativity - How original is the idea?
  • Polish - Is the game coherent and bug-free?
  • Theme adherence - How well does the game follow theme? 

Rules:

  • No generative AI during the creative process (idea, artwork, audio, ect.) AI coding is allowed but obviously discouraged
  • Use any game engine you like
  • Use any platform you like (keep in mind that some people might not be able to play your game depending on their platform)
  • You are allowed to work in teams of any size if you want to. Solo developers are also welcome
  • Your game must adhere to the theme
