Welcome to the first Game Jam hosted by Spokane Public Library. The end of summer is around the corner and what better way to end it, than with a Game Jam.
We invite everyone within the Spokane community to participate. All ages are welcome, as well as all skill levels. This is a great time to make your first video game or practice your skills as an experienced game developer.
If you do not live in the Spokane area you are still welcome to join.
Submissions will not be ranked. The idea is to have fun and to learn new skills. Your games will be played after the submission period is over by our librarians. If you don’t want us to play your game live on a streaming service, let us know during your game submission.
You will have 168 hours (7 days) to create a playable game. The Game Jam's theme will be displayed here and on our webpage at the start of the jam. The theme is more of a suggestion than a requirement.
Game Submission Rules:
- All types of games are welcome: digital (Windows 10, Linux, Mac OS, and Android), physical* (board games, tabletop games, etc.).
- No explicit content. Your game must be accessible for all ages. Please contact us if you have any questions.
- Games must be free to play (When submitting the game under “Pricing”, select “No payments”).
- Your team can be of any size.
*If you make a physical game please upload a .pdf with rules on how to set up and run your physical game.
Game Jam Theme:
Fantasy
When you Submit your game:
You will be asked to give information about your game. To prepare for this, give yourself at least an hour before the deadline to make sure you can fill out the basic information itch.io will ask when submitting your game.
Make sure to have a cover image for your game at the ready; 315px X 250px is the minimum and 630px X 500px is the recommended.

>> You need to upload your game to your Itch.io account page before you can submit it to the 2020 Epic MegaJam page.<<

- Unique Use of Contest Theme
- Fun Factor
- Visuals
- Audio
NOTE:Sourced (non-original) assets are allowed but will not be reviewed and scored.
- Example 1: A scene with environment art from the marketplace could get points for lighting and composition, but the pre-made assets wouldn't.
