OinkJam is a beginner-friendly game jam that takes place over the span of two weeks. Anyone is welcome to join, but we especially hope to encourage girls and other gender-minority youth to participate in this game jam. Not only will you have a shiny new game to add to your portfolio, but you'll also receive recognition, feedback, and the chance to win prizes!
Our jam is hosted on Itch, and we are a fiscally sponsored 501(c)(3) nonprofit through The Hack Foundation. Don't worry if you can't participate in this jam, as we are planning on running more iterations in the future!

Two themes will be announced on all of our platforms one hour (brainstorm time!) before the jam begins. You can suggest and vote on themes in the info channel of our Discord server.
You can interpret the themes however you like, and one of them must be implemented into your game. You can also try to have both themes if you want an additional challenge!
Your game must have been entirely made during the jam period. You may use pre-existing assets and tools, but disclose that in your game description. You should also include an explanation of how your game relates to one of the themes.
Solo developers and teams of up to 4 people are allowed. Join our Discord server to easily find teammates!
Games should be appropriate for all ages. No offensive, hateful, or explicit content.
Provide constructive feedback to others and maintain a supportive community atmosphere!
