GAME JAM 2021
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: Stronger Together! Build a game and tag it with #gamejam2021. 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.
The details:
This Game Jam runs March 5th - March 14th, 2021. While the deadline is not strict, we’ll be featuring some of our favourites from those that are public by 11:59 p.m. on March 14th!
Games should have a defined beginning and end, and accommodate at least 2 people (preferably more). Some great examples: ^CrimsonCases (Bomb Defusal), ^CookingMadness, ^ElvenAssassin.
You can use pre-existing assets from your previous builds, but we encourage you to try something new! Rooms should be started on or after March 5th, 2021.

FAQ:
How many people can we have in our group?
As many as you want and can manage!Is there a prize?
No, but we will have a small in-game memento of the Game Jam for all participants!Can I do a PVP?
We can’t stop you, but it likely won’t follow the guidelines for the Game Jam and may not be eligible for the in-game memento.
