Description

This is the sixth edition of our game jam dedicated to dinosaurs.
Additional theme is Anachronism.
As suggested by jmromero on our Discord server.



This is supposed to be a relaxed jam so you can work solo or in a team.  All content must be created during the jam duration and without the help or use of AI. All engines are allowed and all type of games are welcome.

Ranking is here to add some fun but no prizes are planned. We do it for the challenge and for growing our gamedev skills. Oh, yeah! And also because we believe that our world needs more dinosaur games! ;D

Rules

These are the main rules of the DINOJAM:

1. You must use the main theme "dinosaurs" in your game in any form you'd like

2. An optional theme will be provided on day one. It is optional so you don't have to use it if you don't want to, but we highly recommend it since the optional theme is part of the creativity criteria for ranking
