| Q: | Can I attend the event just to hang out? |
| |
| A: |
No! We don't want people who aren't making games distracting those that are.
That being said, you can certainly drop by for a visit to see what TOJam is all about
(beyond all the glamour).

| Q: | Do you provide machines or monitors? |
| |
| A: |
We will not be able to provide machines or monitors this year.
We provide provide power, internet, tables and chairs but the rest is up to you.
If this prevents you from coming, contact us and we'll see what we can do.
Relying on the kindness of strangers, we may be able to provide monitors or perhaps full machines.

| Q: | Who owns the game? |
| |
| A: |
You Do. We post your game for free download, but that's it.
If you keep working on the game after the jam, we are more than happy to post the updated version (up to you :)

| Q: | Why not make this event competitive? |
| |
| A: |
If we did make this a competitive event, we would need to police everyone to keep things fair.
i.e. Ensure similar technologies, similar skillsets, no cheating, etc.
We lack the desire and the manpower to do this... although Rob is quite menacing.
Just getting a decent game done in 3 days is competition enough.
|
| |
| Q: | Why not limit the technology allowed? |
| |
| A: |
More technology = more completed games.
More technology = more developers that want to attend.
Since this is not a competition, and our goal is to complete as many great games as possible,
there is no benefit in limiting the technology.
We want everyone to show off what they can do.
Mind you, if I had my way, everyone would be forced to use VB6.
