Our annual noir-themed game jam, set in the dead of winter, with a cyberpunk bent.

Come create a small game that redirects cyberpunk's political cynicism, queers its aesthetics, and centres the genre’s potential anti-colonial and anti-capitalist power. Explore narratives and mechanics that utilize cyberpunk’s transgressive and rebellious themes – and throw off regressive, harmful and boring tropes. Deploy ancient technology.

On Saturday, a lunchtime workshop with Gaby Aveiro-Ojeda will offer an opportunity to dig deeper into the connection between cyberpunk and transgression, explore examples of cyberpunk narratives, and discuss ways to effectively challenge the genre with feedback and discussion about your ideas.

WHAT: 48 hours creating a game redefining cyberpunk.
WHO: DMG members. Work in a team or solo.
WHEN: All weekend Feb 23-24. We keep our jams to reasonable hours – 10am-6pm but you may stay late if you wish. Optional show & tell (invite your pals) Sunday 6-7pm.

Want to join the workshop and participate in this jam, but are not able to come to our HQ? Please register a Member Livestream / Remote ticket!

Jam participants will have an opportunity to showcase their games at our annual FEB FATALE party in the spring.
