  2.  Make sure to pay attention to the #announcements channel for important information about the jam, including events, deadlines, etc.
  3. Teams can be either formed unofficially outside of the jam if jammers have teams already in mind. Otherwise, we have a form where jammers can sign up to be teamed with other jammers. Teams will be made at the start of the jam, but will finalized by submitting a form by midnight on Wednesday, July 31st.

After you complete all 3 steps, you’re all set!

Rules

1. If you use any third party assets (Music, SFX, Art, etc) they must be free-to-use and properly credited in your game.

2. Your game must uphold the U of M and MSU standards of inclusivity, tact, and general all around positive-feeling! Use common sense, and avoid depicting offensive material. If we determine that your game grossly violates U of M and/or MSU values, you will be disqualified. 

3. Have fun, be kind! Let the officers know if you have any questions or concerns!

Judging

Games will be voted on by the participants, and the top three games will be announced!

Games will also be judged by the 5 categories below:

  • Use of Theme
  • Gameplay, Mechanics
  • Style, Polish, Aesthetic
  • Music, SFX, Audio
  • Most Innovative

Each game will be ranked for each category, and each category holds equal weight.
