Rules, rules, rules!
In general, I would say that this Jam is Too Cool for Rules, but there are a few.
- Submission must be related to Adventure Time in some way. This is really vague for a reason. It's up to you! Whether it contains the cast of the Adventure Time characters, takes place in the land of Ooo, or something else bizarre, it's all acceptable.
- If you're going to form teams - 3 people per team, maximum. Just to keep it small, fun and friendly.
- You will have 12 hours after the end of the jam to package up your game and submit it.
- A secret, surprise rule to be revealed at the start of the jam.
A small but fun and important part of this jam is that all jam games created on-site in Austin will be part of a special Adventure Time themed Arcade Cabinet. THREE not-on-site global submissions will be selected to included in the Arcade Cabinet.
The three chosen games will be: an audience favorite, Celebrity Judge favorite, and Fantastic Arcade Crew pick.
In order to qualify as a cabinet winner, the game must simply be an .exe. So that means Game Maker games, Unity games, Flash games with an .exe project or compiled with AIR to an .exe, or anything else that compiles to an EXE.
If you need help with any of that process (compiling and distributing as an exe), totally, totally let us know. I'd be more than happy to help out with that.
All games submitted that are Flash and Unity player based will be playable on the site. This means that you DO NOT need to worry about hosting the files elsewhere. I am working on a system to embed HTMl5/JS games as well, but if that will be ready in time, we will just have to way and see.
Also, just a little guidance for submissions:
Oh, my Glob, you guys. Adventure Time is a lumping TV-PG show. So don't turn in anything GROSS, because, ew.
