**UPDATE: Check out the results in the post below!!!** **Official Theme: The Number 10** How you interpret this jam theme will up to you! Stick to the theme as best you can, and clever interpretations are definitely worth bonus points. **The Modifiers** Modifiers are optional and can help you develop your concept. They will not affect your chances at prizes, but can help focus your design. **Modifier #1** - No Violence Swords and guns are neat but so are stunts and/or feelings. **Modifier #2** - Mouth Sounds Record the sounds that you make with your mouth and use them in your game's audio! Modify them as you please. PEW PEW PEW **Modifier #3** - Two Buttons The controls for your game can only consist of two buttons. Choose wisely~ (yes, each arrow key counts as one button) **Bonus Modifier** - [This Vine](https://vine.co/v/eamgg2UTTMh) Also, if you can somehow manage to find the full audio of the song in this Vine, I'll hand craft you a special profile badge. We've potentially narrowed down the location of this video to the Houston, TX area. * * * **We’re having a game jam!** As part of the [10/10 Would Play Again](http://www.kongregate.com/pages/10th-anniversary) event celebrating our 10th year of existence on the internet, we’re hosting a game jam! If you missed the first game jam back in May, it was super rad! Kongregate has always been a great place to play and make games with fun and interesting new ideas, and a game jam is the perfect opportunity to make something cool! As always, you keep anything you make. Period. Never made a game before? No problem! About half of the developers from our previous jam uploaded their first games for that jam! Not sure about how to get started? Take a look here for some ideas [http://www.pixelprospector.com/getting-started-guide/](http://www.pixelprospector.com/getting-started-guide/), and feel free to discuss in this forum as well. Jam veteran or not, here are some hot tips for getting your jam on [http://developers.kongregate.com/blog/7-tips-to-7-day-game-jams](http://developers.kongregate.com/blog/7-tips-to-7-day-game-jams). This is for fun, so let’s have fun!

Late entries will not qualify for prizes but will be considered part of the Game Jam. **Games submitted through the original Kongregate.com upload channel may be missed!** This uploader ensures you get into the Jam group! * * * **What is a Kongregate Game Jam?** Hey, some people have never participated in a game jam and might not know what it is! Game jams are events for developers to create concepts, often based on a theme or idea, in a short span of time (typically a few days to a few weeks). What they build is completely up to them, all they have to consider is the theme or constraint of the game jam. Jammers can work in a team or individually on their games. When the game jam is over, they share their work and let anyone play their newly hashed games! Our Kongregate Game Jam will be a one week game jam based on a theme (To be announced!) with several theme modifiers. The best games to come out of the jam will get small rewards and honors for their work! **Participation/Joining** Any individual or team who wants to! Stay updated in our Kongregate forums (right here)! **Jam Theme** Judges pick the theme and will be announced at the top of the post at the start of the jam! The theme for the jam will be announced the moment the jam officially starts. Games are expected to stick to the theme, and how closely is up to you. Games that execute good design, artwork, and take into account the theme the strongest will be most eligible for honors and prizes. **Modifiers** We’ve also offered several modifiers above that can enhance your game jam theme. It’s up to you whether or not use use the modifiers, they’re here to give you some challenges and ideas for making your game stand out, or just to try something new! If you don’t want to participate in the modifiers, no worries. Modifiers are for your own benefit; they does not affect your ability to win an award. * * * **Requirements** All games must be submitted to Kongregate.com through the specified link ([here it is again](http://www.kongregate.com/game_jam_uploader)) and published before the end of the game jam. The game should be functional and running in-browser. You can submit early if you like. You can submit late, but you’ll be ineligible for prizes. And you’ll still be considered in-the-jam because we’re inclusive like that. All art assets, sound effects, music, and code used in your game (aside from 3rd party libraries like tweening and physics stuff) **MUST BE MADE BY YOU DURING THE ALLOTTED JAM TIME**. If you need some good and free art though, feel free to use our [Donks Approved Kongpanions API](https://docs.kongregate.com/docs/api-kongpanions).  We don’t care what technology you use to build your game, but make sure it runs in the browser. Some of our favorites are Flash, Haxe, Unity, Gamemaker, Construct 2, Stencyl, PlayCanvas… it’s up to you! Please, no executables or physical board games… we just don’t know how to play these or host these on Kongregate... * * * **Prizes and Honors** All developers who participate in the game jam and submit a substantial game will get game jam bling on their profile. The top of each category will get a year of Kong Plus subscription. The 2nd and 3rd place of each category will get honorable mention, with a special game jam bling for their profiles. **Best Graphics (3 Awards)** The top 3 games that showcase amazing art direction and animation. **Best Audio (3 Awards)** The top 3 games that show exemplary music and sound design throughout production **Best Interactivity and Feel (3 Awards)** The top 3 games that feel exceptionally fun and feel great to play. **Most Innovative (3 Awards)** The top 3 games that push boundaries and innovation in game design **Best Theme Integration (3 Awards)** The games that most adhere to theme and theme modifiers **Audience Awards – (3 Awards)** Three awards will be given to the most popular game jam games, as voted on by the Kongregate community. **Judges Awards** Each of the judges can award a specific game with a unique award, in a category of their choosing (for example, Best Story). These winners will each receive Kong Plus. **Best of Jam – (3 Awards)** The best games of the jam will receive Kong Plus, a Kongregate t-shirt, and an awesome award certificate. Additionally, the top game will be featured on our blog with developer interview * * * **Jam Judges** We’ll be picking a mix of judges from the Kongregate/Launchpad team as well as others from the Kongregate community. The specific judges and their profiles will be posted here shortly. Everyone can participate in the audience award. * * * **FAQ** **How much does it cost to enter?** It’s free! **Is there a physical location or meetup for this event?** There is not. This is an internet-hosted event. If you want to meet up with others to make games that’s on you. **Can I recycle old code? Base libraries? What about leftover assets?** The spirit of the competition is to build something awesome in 7 days from scratch. You’re free to use any base code or tools to get started, but abstain from using third-party assets (**THIS MEANS NO ASSETS FROM THE UNITY ASSET STORE**). If you don’t have an artist and are worried about art, find one! We’ll make a careful judgement over what qualifies or not. As previously mentioned, you may also use Kongpanions in your game. You do not have to show/share your code at the end of the jam. This is a trust exercise, please don’t break the rules. **What if I’m late?** Any game that is submitted late will be still included in the game jam but will not be eligible for honors. We like to be inclusive and we know some are just not on time. **Who owns my project?** You do. You made it, it’s yours. **I don’t have a team how do I team?** Please matchmake in a separate thread, preferably in the [Collaboration Forum](http://www.kongregate.com/forums/8-collaborations). **Who do I email for private questions?** You can PM andromatta (me) or jmtb02. If they’re more broad questions, feel free to ask here. **Can I start early? I have track practice…** No! Start when the theme is announced. **Can I use Kongregate API’s for high scores, etc?** Yes. You can leverage any Kongregate API in your game. […](https://vine.co/v/eamgg2UTTMh)

Where is the peanut butter?

The games last time were awesome, I can't wait to see what people come up with this time!

That moment when you instantly think "I wish I could develop a game". I don't have any skill on that.

This sounds great! I hope I have time to join in!

I am hating the way this is presented. It feels like I should be earning something everyday and am missing out somehow. Don't know why you had to roll this out like this.

So todays item/thing/unlockable is an announcement?

Can't wait for this one, the last one was great. Going to be fun to cook up a game and see what the other devs have made. Good luck, have fun :D

Are we the users allowed to suggest things?

Only three t-shirts this time? Well, as for me physical rewards are the best stimulation for participating. Anyway good luck to everybody!
