Deep within the depths of a great mountain, a band of weary dwarves toils tirelessly, digging ever deeper in their greedy pursuit of the earth’s most precious gems and ores. Little do they know, however, that they have unearthed something far more valuable. For their pickaxes have struck upon a treasure so magnificent, so extraordinary, that even adamantine pales in comparison! For they have discovered a game jam, but not just any game jam, they've discovered 

DWARF JAM CONTINUED!

This is a continuation of a previous jam all about the fantasy species, dwarves! Anyone can join, either with a game you were previously working on for the previous Dwarf Jam or a brand new game. 

1. The game must prominently feature DWARVES (the fantasy species) but otherwise you can make any kind of game of any genre with any mechanics 

2.  No AI generated content of any kind. (You can use it to give you guidance, but don't copy and paste anything from an LLM and put it straight into your game.) 

3. No illegal or rated X content. Nothing bigoted, I will leave it to your discretion to know what's appropriate and what isn't (for example, a Dwarf taking a jab at the elves is fine, but obviously not one directed at a real life group) 

I wasn't in or didn't submit anything to the last jam, can I still join?: YES! Anyone can join

What engine can I use: Any, as long as it doesn't use LLM assistance of any kind. No engine is also fine.

Will there be a hidden theme: There was an optional one for the previous Jam, but for its continuation don't worry about it, just get your games finished. 

Can I use external resources such as art or music?: Yes! As long as you have permission to use those assets and they weren't made by generative AI. Please make sure you are crediting any creators of assets or code you're grabbing, as well as any other contributors.  

Is there a target platform I must use?: I highly HIGHLY suggest you target Web, browser based games tend to do better in the rankings, as it makes it easier for people to review. This is not a requirement, just a strong recommendation, you can launch targeting any platform.
