About 10:10 WIGJam

With many Women in Games Ambassadors at here at 10:10 Games we believe in not only encouraging a more diverse range of people into the industry but are also super passionate about the representation of those people IN games.

With that in mind, we’re hosting our very first Game Jam (10:10 WIGJam) in which we are challenging YOU to create some form of game or interactive experience that focuses on a Female or LGBTQIA+ Protagonist. This is a perfect opportunity to showcase how you believe people of these diversity groups would like to be portrayed, with a refreshing new and authentic take.

It doesn’t matter if you are brand new to video games industry (perhaps you’re a fan keen to learn some new skills!) or if you’re already in the industry and just looking to make something awesome. Come join us in this fun experiment, meet new friends, learn some new skills and have a ball!
