But what is a game jam?

A game jam is an event for people to make games based on a theme (announced at the beginning of the jam) within a given period of time. It can be 8 hours or even up to 24 hours.

You bring your own tools, laptops, sound equipment, peripherals, software, assets, etc. We do not provide any equipment.
