Please ask any questions about Rule 1: Working & Planning

  1. You can only work on your project during the month of May.
  • Brainstorming, Plot Outlining, Sketching (that does not lead to direct production of assets), Team Building, Photo Taking & Creative-Commons/Licensed Asset Collecting before the jam starts is allowed.
    • In the COMMUNITY Tab there will be a space where artists will be able to offer special licenses on their art to be used in the Jam and available for use by ALL Jammers if said art is not already CC. This art can be made before May.
      • Anything licensed under the COMMUNITY Tab will not be given the same level of legal protection by the Administration as the Pre-Made Sprites.
  • You’re encouraged to learn and experiment with different skills and story/gameplay mechanics before May.
    • This includes Programming and Engine Building.

Can music be worked on before the jam starts?

Composing counts as art and cannot be worked on before May unless you plan on making the art/music Creative-Commons/Royalty Free for everyone to be able to use.
