⏳ Submission Deadline: Your game must be submitted within the given time limit. However, minor updates are allowed after submission, contact the hosts on discord for this.

🤖 AI: It is fine to use AI assets given that you explicitly mention that you have used them, games made completely using AI or games having a major chunk of their work done with generative AI are not allowed. This is to ensure participants can show off and develop their skills.

💻 Source Code: The source code for your game should be made available via GitHub and the link should be posted on the game's itch.io submission page, this is to ensure security and fairness.

⚙️ Engine and Platforms: The game should be made in a currently maintained version of the Godot engine. It should also be able to run in the browser (HTML5/Web game), this is mandatory for security reasons, however you can also publish the game for other platforms alongside the browser release.
