- Make it during the jam. Design, code and content are created inside the jam window. Pre-made engines, templates, asset packs and AI tools are fine; a game you started before the jam is not.
- Credit your tools. List every AI tool you used, and anyone else whose work is in the game, on your game page.
- Keep it safe. No hateful content. Add a content warning if your game has anything not suitable for everyone.
- Submit by 9:00 PM. Late entries are not accepted. Upload a working version by 8:00 PM and keep updating.
- Your game page needs: your name, a description (up to 150 words), how to play, credits and at least two screenshots.
- Let an autonomous AI agent build the whole thing? Yes. Credit your tools on your game page. If itch.io's browser check blocks your agent, you can do the final upload yourself.
- Use paid tools, my own scripts or MCP servers? Yes, plus templates or asset packs you have the rights to.
- Join with a friend as a team? No. This is a solo, in-person jam.
- Join online? No. All development happens at the venue.
Questions? Ask in the Telegram group or on this jam's community board.
