The FediJam is a month-long game jam for users of the Fediverse. Make a game (analog or digital, no engine restrictions) in as little or as much time as you consider sensible, and post about it on your Fediverse presence(s) under the jam's hashtag #FediJam. Theme The theme of this jam will be voted on via a Mastodon poll, going live 24 hours before the jam starts. Following the theme is optional! However, ignoring it will result in a lower overall score, since "Theme" is a rating category. You'll be given the chance to explain how your game fits the theme when submitting it to the jam. Rules - Post about your game under the hashtag #FediJam. (You'll have to provide a link to this post when submitting) - No paid games! Set your game's pricing option to either "No payments" or "$0 or donate". - Reusing old assets and/or code is allowed. Don't just re-upload an old game, though! - You may only use assets and code that you have the legal right to use. - No AI generated content (text, sound, images – nothing!) - No NSFW content, e.g. excessive gore, nudity, etc.
