<h3>When?</h3><p>Every <a href='https://www.google.com/search?q=20%3A00+UTC' target='_BLANK'>Saturday at 20:00 UTC</a>. The time in your local time and a countdown-timer should be in the top of the site though.</p><h3>Where?</h3><p>Right here! <a href='https://discord.gg/J86uTu9' target='_BLANK'>Joining our Discord server</a> is however a good idea.</p><h3>Is there a theme?</h3><p>Yes! At the start of the hour, the theme is announced on the site and <a href='https://discord.gg/J86uTu9' target='_BLANK'>on Discord</a>. Themes are suggested and voted by the community on the <a href='?page=themes'>Theme Voting page</a>.</p><h3>How long do I have to finish?</h3><p>:D</p><h3>Do I have to submit within the hour?</h3><p>No. Keep working on your game until it's done, then submit.</p><h3>Can I use premade assets?</h3><p>You are free to use premade assets but it is recommended that you make at least one game from scratch. Some assets are provided on the <a href='?page=assets'>Assets page</a> but you do not have to use them.</p><h3>Do I have to host the games myself?</h3><p>Yes, you'll need to host the game and submit the links here. We host the thumbnail though. If you don't have a website yourself, use something like dropbox / google drive, or itch.io / newgrounds. Ask on Discord for more suggestions.</p><h3>What happens after the jam?</h3><p>About 30 minutes after the jam ends, we host a stream on Twitch where all submitted games are played. The stream usually lasts about 2 hours. It's not always the same people streaming though, so keep an eye on Discord to see who's streaming.</p><h3>What if I don't finish in time?</h3><p>If you finish and submit your game before the stream ends, we'll play it on stream, even if it took you more than an hour to finish.</p><h3>Can I participate after the jam has ended?</h3><p>If you come late you can still participate. If the stream is over, then your game won't be played on-stream, obviously, but we'll still keep it on the site!</p><h3>Copyright / licenses / future development / intellectual property / ...?</h3><p>You retain full ownership / copyright / yadda yadda. If you get a BAFTA make sure to mention us in your acceptance speech though :D</p><h3>Can I submit as a team?</h3><p>Team entries are allowed but currently not supported by the website. Please keep in mind that it can be challenging to manage a team within an hour.</p> |
