Cave Jam #01
About This Jam

Welcome to the very first Cave Jam: a game jam dedicated exclusively to games made with the Cave.
You’ll have 72 hours to create a complete game from scratch using Cave. No theme, no restrictions on creativity, just build whatever you want.
This jam is all about:
- Exploring what Cave can do
- Pushing your creativity
- Sharing your work with the community
Where?
The entire jam happens online, right here on our platform. All you have to do is Sign up and wait for it to start. In the meanwhile, check our exclusive discord servers for the cave community. To join the Discord servers, open Cave in your computer and after loading your project, go to Help in the top header bar and you will find a "Join Discord..." option with secret invitation links.

Rules & Guidelines
You are totally free to create the game in any way you want. Just make sure that you own all the rights to everything that you use in the game. Do not create anything that is illegal, controversial, and not safe for work. Also make sure that you don't submit a game that you've already made before to this Jam, which means that the majority of your game should be made within the Jam period.
