What is the Outer Wilds Game Jam?
This is a game jam (not a mod jam). This jam has a few things that are different from most game jams:
- Community voting only. There are no judges that will make the final decision. This way organizers can participate too.
- Everything is public. Since this jam is meant to be fully community-driven, logs of everything that's happening are public. This also means ratings are public. This way the community can keep an eye on things and make sure no one is being evil. Participating here should be seen as participating in the Discord server, and misconduct here will carry over to your standing there.
- Teams can decide when their jam happens. During the "jam time" phase, teams start their own jam whenever they are ready. This hopefully makes it easier to find a time that works for everyone, while keeping the actual jam short (2-3 days).
- Different jam themes per team. When a team starts their jam, they are given a combination of themes at random. This just comes as a consequence of the previous point, since otherwise it would be easy to figure out what the theme is before a team's jam starts.
