19. non rivelare il
tema!(fino a domani a quando diventerà pubblico)

20. do not reveal
the theme(until when it will be published
on the GGJ international website)

21. “So this is why IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU
DO NOT
TWEET/FACEBOOK/BLOG/OTHERWISE
MAKE THE THEME PUBLIC BEFORE THE LAST
SITE AT HAWAII HAS ALSO REVEALED THE
THEME TO THEIR JAMMERS. We will
announce the theme on the GGJ website -
after which you are free to go social with it.”

22. Diversifiers
• The GGJ Diversifier system is aimed at providing motivation for
experienced game jammers, and making it easier to search for
different types of games among the thousands that are created. In a
sense, the diversifiers are a free-for-all voluntary list of secondary
constraints, that the individual teams can choose to go for, or not, as
they please. If they do go for one or more diversifiers, they get to
check off those diversifiers as fulfilled when uploading their game.
Diversifiers are absolutely voluntary, and no points are given for using
them, or taken away for not using them. If you are a first-time team of
students, we recommend that you focus primarily on the overall
constraint (the theme that will be announced on Friday), and only add
in extra diversifiers if you feel sure you will have something to hand in
on Sunday.
