Gamejam is a one-week long game hackaton. The participants will be required to create a game according to the theme that is announced at the beginning of the week. After all games are submitted at the end of the week, our judges will review all games according to the criterias and pick the winner teams, which will get awards. Participation is limited to groups of 4, individuals are also welcome.

Support

We have prepared a series of Udemy videos to refresh your knowledge about game development or to help you from scratch. The series will be provided a month prior to the Gamejam and participants will be able to work on the videos as long as they need. We will also have 3 Q&A sessions during the Gamejam week. You will be able to ask questions any time on the Discord channel created particularly for Gamejam.
