GAME JAM - AUGUST 2022

Let’s make some games! If you’ve wanted to try making a game for the first time, experiment with a new technique, or just build something that will delight you, it’s a great time to try!  This isn’t a competition - no prizes, no pressure. We just want our community to have some fun building things for people to play!

The Game Jam theme is Rootin’ Tootin’ Shootin’! Build a game and tag it with #gamejam-rts. That’s it!

We’ll have some get-togethers at the beginning and end of the game jam to meet up with other builders, swap circuit tips, bounce ideas off of each other, and show off our games at the end.
