GAME JAM 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: Save The World! Build a game and tag it with #gamejam2022. 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 11th - March 20th, 2022. While the deadline is not strict, we’ll be featuring some of our favorites from those that are public by 11:59 pm (PST) on March 20th!

• Games should have a defined beginning and end and accommodate at least 2 people (preferably more). Examples of rooms: ^JUMP.ER and ^TheRideOfJumbotron.

• 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 11th, 2022.

• Game jam events:

  • Kick-offs: Early and Late on March 11th, 2022

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?
  It must follow the theme of the Game Jam or it may not be eligible for the in-game memento.
