CURDLE JAM - EXTENDED RULES AND SUBMISSION INFO

CURDLE JAM - EXTENDED RULES AND SUBMISSION INFO
===============================================

- Ensure that each member has joined the game jam with their itch.io account (Click "Join Jam" on the jam page)

- Fill the submission forms completely and accurately when submitting. You can click the "Submit" button right after the jam starts to check out the forms that need to be filled

- You will be required to explain how your game fits the theme during submission forms

- Upload a web build. Whatever engine you use is fine as long it is playable on a web browser and runs from your itch game page. I understand that a number of engines do not support web builds. Sorry about that, in the past we used to play any game, but it was just too messy for me.

- Be sure to link the other developers to the submission as well, so that all the collaborator names are visible on your game submission.

 - Only web builds will be played on stream, and your game will also need to meet audio criteria to be heard on stream

****

 - Don't submit previously made games. You're welcome to join the jam discord while working on your own projects, but submissions to this jam are only for games made within the jam period

 - Please keep your games SFW, violence and mild swearing are fine, just no hateful content or sexual content (that means no nudity, no racism, etc.)

- Absolutely no flashing lights and colors, no extremely loud noise spikes, no shocking jump-scare equivalents of any kind

- No highly contentious political topics, no nationalist or culturally divisive themes, any or any content that can harm others or ruin the vibe of the jam stream

- Do not use AI generated assets / content / workflow in your game, this includes direct use of generated graphics, audio, and scripts. We can *all* tell, and we are only not saying how bad it looks and plays out of pity and cringe.

- No slandering or any content directed at another person. This includes your game, and your behavior in the discord. If someone is really misbehaving, just play it cool and privately alert a moderator and they will take care of it

- If you choose to put a Curdle cameo in your game, please do so respectfully. That goes for including any likenesses/avatars of other community members. Do not attempt to bully, antagonize, make any inappropriate representations of others, or make explicit graphic depictions of them.

- No depictions of real-life celebrities, politicians, copyrighted characters, or any intellectual property that isn't your own. Spoofs/Parodies are fine, just make them tasteful, and make sure they deviate enough from the source material.

- If your game breaks any of these rules, the moderators will remove your game from the submissions and it will not be played on stream. Depending on the nature of the offense, you may also be banned from the community as well.

Here are the Submission Form Info Fields you will need to fill out when submitting your game. Leave yourself time to answer these before the submission deadline:

 - Team Members --> Format: Name of Handle - Development Role - Itch URL

- Other Assets Used --> State which things weren't made by the team during the jam, credit assets used appropriately by finding links / source names wherever possible. If everything was made during the jam, simply state that (this includes music, sound effects, code, models, sprites, asset packs, textures, skybox, etc)

- Is your game a web build that runs from your itch page (web build)? --> It needs to be to qualify to be played on stream.

- Does your game have fully implemented sound effects and music? --> Only answer Yes if your game has sound effects in every appropriate place and background music that is mixed to match.

- Theme Usage --> How does your game fit the theme? (if you cannot provide a good answer for this, or it looks like your game was not made for this jam, your submission will be removed)

- Additional Notes (optional) --> Any specific information about your game submission that you think I should know, write it here.
