⛄ About the Winter Jam

Budding game developers from the Game Programming, Game Art and Animation, and Game Design and Production departments, will come together to make games around a particular theme. Together, they will experience the joys and pains of working towards a murky and ever-changing goal over the course of the class-week.

This will be the very first iteration of this game jam conducted in an online fashion. This year, both Year 1 and Year 2 students will be submitting their work to this game jam portal.

📢 What's the Theme?

The theme serves as a prompt in hopes of sparking new ideas. Interpret it however you wish: make puns, take it (too) literally, design a mechanic around it or whatever else comes to mind.
