Asylum Jam is back for a fourth year! Join us from Nov 11th to 13th to make a horror game that’s spooky outside of negative mental health stereotypes.

I'm in New York and I'm trying to figure out the deadline for us here. Does the Jam end at midnight on Nov 9th GMT? Which I think is Nov 8th 7PM EST? or is it Nov 9th 7PM EST?

You should be able to start any time on the 6th in your timezone. As there seems to be a huge amount of confusion about this (despite the timezone being stated on the main page) we have now extended it a day so there should be no more question about it! Good luck with the jam. :)

Are we allowed to use premade resources? :)

Yes, as long as you have the rights to use them and appropriate credit is made!

Hi, I was part of a two person team that participated in Asylum Jam last year, we're making our prototype into a fully fledged game now and are planning a kickstarter! I was wondering if there was any chance we could get a mention from Asylum jam to help give us some publicity? We are still holding to the ideals of the Asylum Jam, I can't wait to see the games that come from it this year :)

That's wonderful! Please let us know which game and how we can promote you a bit, would love to see what you've been up to. (:

So this is cool: Asylum Jam, the game jam that challenges participants to create horror games without negative mental health stereotypes, is back! It will take place October 31 through November 2nd. More information can be found on AsylumJam.com. It’s also here on tumblr. (via Rely on Horror)

Hey there! Forgive my ignorance, but I was actually interested in signing my name down for this project. Who do I need to contact, for one? (Oh, and would text-based IF be considered a "game" for the purpose of this event?)

Hi! You don't need to sign up anywhere in particular to join Asylum Jam this year, but if you're looking for other people to join up with, you can check out the Looking for Group document at www.asylumjam.com!

Any game is welcome, we had many text-based games submitted last year (mostly Twine) and they were very well received. Glad to have you on board with us.

Returning for a second year, Asylum Jam is a 48 hour long game jam where game developers are challenged to make a horror game and explore the genre without negative mental health or medical stereotypes.

This year, Asylum Jam will be taking place from October 31st to November 2nd for whatever 48 hour period that is most convenient for you in your timezone.

Find out more on the website, or on this tumblr!

Asylum Jam is coming for you again this October.

I'm having trouble uploading my .exe to the submissions page as it keeps crashing. Is there an alternative way to submit work?

Is this still an issue for you? Flick me an email at [email protected] and we'll sort it out.
