This jam is a celebration of art, beauty, whimsy, and dreams! Nightmares sometimes happen, so including dark topics in your game is totally fine! There are some boundaries though, and these are in place for the sake of the vibe, and in some cases, to protect the wonderful thoughts and minds of viewers/participants. A good idea is to 馃Жkeep it light馃Ж! The last thing we want is for someone to be traumatized or extremely bothered by something we didn't intend to inflict upon them! So to prevent this from happening, here are some-
Things to avoid:
馃ЖExcessive Gore (some blood and mild gore is okay, if something brutal happens, consider having it "out of frame")
馃ЖSexual Themes (Keep in mind this jam is 13+, so please refrain from lewdness. If a story has something sexual happen, imply it with indirectness and wholesomeness, rather than direct confrontation)
Also, avoid:
馃ЖAI Art of Any Kind (It doesn't look, sound, or read well. Find an artist to collaborate with, or make simple designs in an easy art program! But please, do not ruin the spirit of the jam, or your own work by using AI art.)
馃ЖRelying heavily on purchased/premade assets (This can be considered unfair, but it also will not feel true to yourself if it gets to a certain point as well. One of the rating criteria will suffer heavily if your work is unable to shine through, in the midst of premade assets.) (This will not disqualify you, it just isn't encouraged!)
