📜 Rules

Have fun, experiment, and learn.

  1. Games must be created during the jam period
    All gameplay code and core mechanics must be developed during the official jam timeframe. Planning ideas beforehand is allowed, but implementation must happen during the jam.
  2. AI use is allowed and encouraged
    In addition to free Ziva usage during the jam period, participants are free to use any AI for development.
  3. Do not fully auto-generate your entire submission
    Ziva is a tool to assist development, not replace creativity. Participants should still make meaningful design and implementation decisions.
  4. No NSFW content
  5. Teams are allowed
    If you are working in a team, only one member needs to submit the game.
  6. Use only Ziva and the Godot game engine
    Games must be made during the jam using only Ziva and Godot.
  7. Use assets you have permission to use
    Please credit any third-party assets properly.
  8. Be respectful and appropriate
  9. No late submissions
    Submissions will not be accepted after the deadline has passed.

Build something new.

Make a game, try new ideas, and see how far you can go with Ziva in one weekend.
