    **-------- PARTICIPATING TEAMS ****--------
    **
    In order to streamline the playing, judging, recording, and winners announcement process, we're requesting that teams participating in the jam let us know beforehand in order to prepare appropriately for the event. We'll update the list with links to the games afterwards, too, so can find your title without having to scroll through the whole thread :) Pre-registration is not required for entry, and we know people will come in later, but it will greatly aid us in turning everything around quickly. We appreciate your help in making this event awesome :cool:

   *Please send [myself](https://forums.unrealengine.com/member.php?8--) a PM with your team name and number of team members and we'll get you added to the list!*

We could use an 3D artist or someone with BP knowledge, if you’re interested, send me a PM

Let’s see if I can join this Jam. Was heavily busy and tied with the last jam that i could not make it. Here’s to hoping I can get somewhere with this one. Just wish it was a little more than 3 days.

Fu_g · May 4, 2016, 6:22am

We are looking for a talented 3D artist to partner up with ^^.

Looking to join a team

I’ve had experience in 2 previous jams. My focus is level design and 3D art. I have some knowledge of blueprints and using the matinee tool.

Check out my website: www.artbypaine.com

anonymous_user_3b7561f0 · May 7, 2016, 11:33pm

The entire time that I’ve been learning how to make stuff in Unreal, I’ve held participating in one of the monthly game jam that you guys run as my goal.

Derzo · May 8, 2016, 9:20am

This time I think I’ll focus more on the art :rolleyes:

TriNityGER · May 8, 2016, 4:56pm

PerseusSmith · May 9, 2016, 1:55am

+3 for our team, piandpower.com

Benergy · May 9, 2016, 8:00am

During the last jam there was a discussion about the rules, concerning the definition of sourced/3rd-party assets. Was this clarified yet?

VRLtqq · May 9, 2016, 11:20am

There are many games that use premade resources on every jam, I don’t remember any of them being disqualified. So I’d say it is pretty much anything goes, the rules are pretty lax or at least their enforcement is. Does it affect winners selection is a completely different question and it seems to me that the answer is yes. I may be wrong but I think the winning games are usually those using original resources.
