Rives Jam 1

All roads lead to the RIVES game jam from May 17th -24th! RIVES is like a cool fantasy console on the blockchain, powered by Cartesi. It's where you can whip up and play small games using your favorite programming languages, as long as they can compile to RISC-V. By keeping things simple and straightforward, it's all about sparking that creative fire among developers.

The aim of RIVES is to make game-making fun and accessible for everyone. It's like a hangout spot for both creators and players, where anyone can build games for anyone else to enjoy.

So why jump into the RIVES game jam?

• Flex your coding skills with any language that can compile to RISC-V.
  
• Get your game out there on RIVES.

• Keep your game single-player.
  
• Make sure it's got some way to measure scores, like for speedruns. RIVES has its own built-in demo/leaderboard system, perfect for these kinds of games.
  
• Stick to the game rules
  

Games will be judged on fun-factor, replayability, uniqueness, polish, graphics, sound, and controls. And hey, if you're feeling adventurous, there are optional themes like Retro, Roguelike, Infinite Wave, Opposite Day, and Cyberpunk.
