Game Jams

Commitment issues?Try game jams.

🙃

A low commitment experience...

Game jams are frequent, weekend-long sprints. If something comes up, if you can't complete your game, or if you find game jams aren't for you, no problem!

🎮

with complete control...

Most game jams have few rules. Choose your own genre, artstyle and software.

✅

and your own goals.

Want to try something new? Want to create the game of your dreams? You define your goals in a game jam.
