Goodbye Summer Game Jam

It's been an intense summer, so let's cool off with the Goodbye Summer Jam! Spend a week, or just 48 hours if you prefer, with a small team making a new game concept!

THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT ONLY! Sign up and submit your game on the [Goodbye Summer Jam event on itch.io](https://itch.io/jam/goodbye-summer-jam)! To stay in touch during the jam and find teammates, join our Discord server.

We will have an in-person workshop session on Saturday 9/17 for anyone who wants to find a team in person or just wants some space to get started on their game. See the event here on meetup.

The theme and its optional modifiers will be revealed at the designated start time. THEME VIDEO HERE!
This event is primarily meant for local creators in St. Louis, Missouri, but folks worldwide are welcome to participate!

On Saturday, September 24th, we will do a livestream on Twitch showcasing all submissions. Shortly after that, we will have a showcase video on the STL GameDev Co-op Youtube channel.

FAQ:

• Work in teams or solo? Both are okay.
• Can I work on my game in person? If you and your team want to work together in person somewhere and have a space, go ahead! We will not be providing any physical space to work though.
• Is this jam ranked? No, it is a casual event.
• Will there be a theme? Yes, it will be revealed on the itch.io event page (link above) at the start of the event.
• What engines may we build on? Any.
• Platforms the build must work on? We recommend browser-compatible uploads, or a Windows build otherwise.
• Is it okay to build a game that is played with a gamepad/controller? Yes, but keyboard controls should be a priority before that.
• May we use public domain or third-party assets? Yes, as long as you have legal permission to use them.
• May we use pre-existing code? Yes, as long as it's just small scripts for things like movement. Keep pre-existing code minimal.
• Any content restrictions? Your game may not contain mature content and extreme gore. Generally think T for Teen, or E for Everyone if possible. You can always expand those scopes of the game after the jam. Also note that: misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and other hate speech will not be tolerated.
