Submission Guidelines

For this marathon, we are looking for indie games! According to Wikipedia, a indie game is "a video game typically created by individuals or smaller development teams without the financial and technical support of a large game publisher". However, this isn't a hard definition, as there are many edge cases. The game's age or popularity doesn't matter to us. If you aren't sure if your game fits this definition, submit it anyway and let us be the judge! Some examples of indie games include: Celeste, Hollow Knight, Undertale, Super Meat Boy, Cuphead, homebrew games, and more!

Specifically for this event, we would like to put an emphasis on crazy, wacky, quirky, or otherwise weird indie games and categories! Submissions with these elements will receive bonus points during the selection process. However, don't worry if your game doesn't have any of these elements, as we still need a lot of regular indie games to fill our schedule!

Not only are we looking for indie games, we're also accepting game mods! For your submission to be considered, your game mod must change a large portion of the gameplay/world/other elements. Mods that change graphics, items, etc.. aren't acceptable as they don't change enough of the game. Examples of game mods includes: Kaizo Mario series, Super Metroid: Ascent, ROM Hacks, and more!

You must be able to maintain a stream at 720p 30fps 1500kbps.

You must be able to stream to a RTMP server. If you're not using OBS, SLOBS, or XSplit, please make sure your streaming software supports RTMP before submitting.

A facecam is not mandatory but highly recommended for the overall quality of the stream.

Vtubers or input displays may be accepted as a substitution for a facecam, however they must be reliable and of good quality.

Commentary is not necessary but highly recommended in submissions.

You must join the Discord after submitting, this is how we keep in touch with you.

Please make sure you meet all these requirements before submitting. Any questions can be directed to our tech lead, nicnacnic.
