Join us on Discord! – https://discord.gg/UrGxAUnus9 - easy way to ask questions, chat, meet other jammers, whatever. If you haven't yet, be sure to say hi in the #introduce-yourself channel. We have #cj21-looking-for-group channel where you can meet others who are working on the jam, and many other channels dedicated to helping you have the best experience possible.

For first-time jammers, we've assembled a list of resources to help you get started as well as inspiring words from our Climate Jam Mentors. And don't hesitate to ask us any questions you might have in the discord!

We are planning to do a Twitch stream following the jam on the IndieCade Twitch channel featuring all of the games made at the jam, If you would like your game to be a part of the final presentation please create a video of 3 minutes or less including gameplay footage/narration/stories about the process of creating the game, whatever you feel you want to share about the game, your team and your experience and include the video in your itch.io submission or a link to it on YouTube. Your video should include the game name, team name (if you have one) and any identifying information about your team members that you wish to include (names, roles, etc.). We will give you a warning in advance of the stream going live so you can watch and promote it to your friends and followers.

Interested in play testing? Just let us know on Discord and we will post some options.
