Rating Queue enabled!

All levels of dev experience are encouraged to participate!
Feel free to mock up ideas prior to the official Start but the real work should occur during the Jam.
Enter early to receive valuable Feedback which all are encouraged to provide to assist in any final adjustments prior to the Deadline.
HAVE FUN!

To continue The Games beyond the event itself, Submissions may be included in an optional Co-Op Games Bundle to be assembled following the Jam in association with Bundle Everywhere.
To ensure the spread of good will offered by the entrants, the bundle price will be Pay What You Want (PWYW) with a tentative launch date of September 1st, 2024 and a duration of 1 Month.
The Top 3 games submitted to the bundle as Judged by the Jam Hosts will receive a higher split of any revenue generated (think appropriate Gold, Silver, Bronze breakdowns) with the remainder split equally amongst remaining participants.
- We will strongly consider Ranking as provided by participants so please do Rate!
Further details will be set as the Jam progresses and are dependent on the number of Submissions to the Bundle.
Be sure to tick the box during Submission to be considered!
