So do I have to pick one of the 4 themes or can I pick more than 1?

For example, can I pick “Running out of Space” + “However vast the darkness”?

Can I completely opt out of the main theme? Or if I pick a modifier does this necessarily mean I’m picking both the main theme + an additional modifier?

Do we have to apply for category modifiers? For example, do I have to say on the submission form that I’m applying or aiming for the Army of One category modifier? I do NOT want to mess this up. :grin:

I tried the form and you have to select one or more modifiers, yes.

@SkyeEden I’d like to make a couch coop game, and I’m wondering how to set up the controls to make them accessible for the playtesting.

What is your usual setup to playtest the games?

Can I expect you to have 2x controllers? Any preferred input mapping from past game jams?

When you submit it shows you several checkboxes with each category modifier for you to choose.

If i buy a custom voice-over from a seller on Fiverr, does that make him/she a team member ???

As long as you can list what input is required we are able to meet those requirements, as the judges have access to various typical hardware, whether VR, mobile or controller input.

Thanks! but could i get an answer to this, please ?

Heya!

If assets are purchased or were acquired in the past and are utilized in the jam, they should be categorized as sourced assets, which can include voice assets or files (providing the former is true). However, if commissions are made that actively contribute to the jam within the jam timeframe, regardless of the contribution size, those commissioned individuals will be recognized as team members. It’s crucial to avoid misclassification, as it could lead to either loss of points or disqualification.

“Submissions must be packaged for Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS (development build)—no full, unpackaged projects.”

Clarified question:
Does this mean that for PC submissions, we should upload a development build rather than a fully built, packaged project, or can we upload a standard full build?

Can we upload a shipping build or does it HAVE to be a development build?
