If you have any questions about my game jam, put them here!

hey, i see the jam itself runs for slightly longer than 4 days, how will you enforce the 60 minute game limit?

Host(+1)

The time for submissions is 4 days because people might join it late. But you are still expected to make a game in 60 minutes. And a way i can know is i can tell when the game came out. When they started the project etc. And if you want to be super honest you can do a video of your full time.

how'll you know if we really made the game within 60 minutes? do we need to upload a screenshot from project showing when we started and finished? or are we just going with pure heart-to-heart trust here? :)))

I can tell when the project was made, I can see when assets were made. And to be even more secure, most of the time half of the participants do a video on their full devtime. It is appreciated but not required though to make a video.

Hi! I have a few questions about the rules.

Are we allowed to use any pre existing assets or code for the jam? For example:
 - Using scripts and tools we've created before for our other projects(such as character controllers or manager scripts)
 - Using free or bought assets packs

Also, is it allowed to open the project and  prepare the environment and set up stuffs like git before the timer starts? Or does everything have to be made from scratch within the 60 mins?

Since the jam has such a short time period, even setting up a clean structure or importing assets(if allowed) can take significant chunk of time, so I just wanted to be sure what is allowed and what is not before start preparing.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the late reply. You are allowed to use scripts or assets but you must make the idea and design. You can prepare the environment before the jam starts but you can not work on the game, because you will not know what the theme is.  Thanks For Asking!
