1Up Jam is back for its 6th anniversary! 13th - 19th of June   (just after the end of the exam period) We will meet before, during, and after the jam on Discord: http://bit.ly/GDS_DISCORD Let's make a game right after the exams take place! There will be a theme announced at the beginning of the jam that everyone should follow to create something unique and fun. You have 1 week but you can work for up to 24 hours spread over the duration of the week. You can work solo or in teams of up to 3 people.

You must time yourself so there will be no way for us to know for sure if you went over 24 hours. However, if you really need that much time, there is a good chance the scope of your game is too big.

If you are a beginner or need help we will provide support via online tutorials over Discord, just send us a message!
