To celebrate the end of Lawrence Tech's Spring 2020 term amidst the pandemic, GameDesign@LTU is pulling together a multi-day jam to sate your game development appetites!

Forge Jam IX Features:

• A panel of judges will be awarding submissions based on numerous qualities, well beyond "best in show" grade awards, to celebrate quality submissions in their various forms
• Held via Discord with an extended timeline (beyond our typical 48 hour weekends)
• Opportunities for in-depth discussions into your submissions via daily show-and-tells
• Access to an amazing network of professionals and students based out of the Midwest
