Welcome to the DevilUp Horror Jam!

JAM THEME: FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT

About DevilUp

In spiritual succession to the DevLUp Wargames, the DevilUp Horror Jam is an intercollegiate weekend game jam for Florida universities, primarily hosted by DevLUp FSU. Teams will have two days, starting 6:00 PM on Friday, October 17th and ending 6:00 PM on Sunday, October 19th, to create their scary game based on the theme given at the start of the jam. Afterwards, they'll have until October 24th to vote on who did the best!

How to join

Join the DevLUp FSU Discord! The kickoff and theme announcement will be held online on Zoom (link in Discord) at 5:30 PM on Friday, October 17th. More details in the Discord!

  1. 3rd party assets and asset reuse is allowed! Assets should be free and must not be AI generated. You'll also be asked to provide a list of assets used when when submitting.

  3. You must submit a game to vote. For teams, add your teammates as contributors to your game so they can vote, too.
  4. Teams can be any size, and you can participate solo.
  5. Anyone can join the jam!
