The Jam formally
starts on June 29th, and will
conclude on 23:59 August 23th GMT. To register, open a thread on this board with your proposal at any time (even before the jam starts), and post a link to the final submission before the deadline. It's okay to reserve a thread even if you have no idea what you want to make yet.
Contestants may work individually, or in teams. Team size is unlimited (you can have strangers contribute), third-party assets you can legally use are fair play, as long as the game itself is original. Using third party platforms such as itch.io to upload your game is allowed, as long as the rules are followed.
Create a thread for your (planned, completed) game here, make sure to use a tripcode and remember it. You are encouraged to engage with some or all of the boards above for discussion / organization / play-testing. You can use whatever for internal communication, including this board, which will be heavily moderated.
DO:- Create and publish an original work, or a sequel / spinoff of your existing IP
- Pick ideas that resonate with you and your group, country, or whatever makes you
you.
- Blend and combine them thoroughly
- Be as open as you are want, don't sabotage others
- Deviate from social and group norms without offending them
- Break game clichés and forms, break out of the computer
- Make sure an English-speaking human can enjoy it
- Agree to the terms of submission. Add the following to wherever you host your game: "I agree to the terms of submission of the USAGI Game Jam as of [DATE]."
Terms of submission:
