KAIJUJAM 3 is the third KAIJUJAM, its a two week (with one week of voting) game jam where participants make either a video game or a physical game about kaiju. It is the sister jam to MECHJAM. If you don't know what Kaiju are, generally it means giant monsters, although they don't have to be giant. Some of the most famous Kaiju franchises are Godzilla, King Kong, and Gamera. 

Your game can be any genre, if you want to make a Kaiju platformer, Kaiju text-based adventure or a Kaiju fighting game go ahead. No genre is off limits. The only fundamental rule is you include a Kaiju somewhere in your game, you don't even have to play a Kaiju!

This year's optional secondary themes will be revealed the moment the jam begins. Remember they are optional and the only fundamental theme your entry must follow is the Kaiju theme. They do not impact the voting in any way. You can pick as many optional secondary themes from none at all to all of them. Feel free to interpret them however you like.
