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 โ€“ nothing!)
  • No NSFW content, e.g. excessive gore, nudity, etc.

A valid opinion, but it's still a widely used community-building tool and relevant to this discussion. The author added this screenshot to the blog post as an example of devs cleverly circumventing the new store page description rules.
