Welcome to our second game jam of the year, we're going to spend 48 hours creating games!

The theme is Make a bad game!

Everyone is welcome regardless of how much or how little experience you have.

The game jam will take place inside Abertay University in room 2523, if you can't make it you are free to participate online - just make sure to submit your game to the Itch.io page before the deadline.

The theme is going to be announced during the Thursday meeting on Zoom at 18:00 the day before the jam!

Everyone is free to work on their game once the theme is announced but the rooms will only be available from Friday at 17:00.

Submit your game to the Itch.io jam page by Sunday 16:00 and we'll play as many games as we can until 18:00!

If you have any questions about the event, please contact us at: abertaygamedev@gmail.com or ask on the Discord! (https://discord.com/invite/dVYTj4uUwt)
