Gamedev.js Jam celebrates HTML5 games - build a Web game within 13 days of the jam on a given theme (revealed at the start), it runs between April 13th and 26th. Also, there are prizes!


Theme

Theme for this year's jam is... future. Read the announcement if you want more details, and remember that your entry will be judged based on how well you implement the theme, but you can interpret it however you like.

Participating

Join us no matter your skill level - this game jam is a perfect opportunity to create your very first game, or build a prototype for your next commercial hit. Almost two weeks of development time should be more than enough!

You can use #gamedevjs hashtag on Twitter to share your progress, ask for feedback, see what others are building and hopefully help them out if they need it. There's also a brand new Discord server for direct communication!

Submitting

Submit an HTML5 game between April 13th and 26th 2020. It can be a solo submission, or a team effort. You can even submit more than one entry if you want to.

Voting

Voting will be open to all who submitted a game, and will happen for a week right after the submission period ends - between April 26th and May 3rd.

Games will be voted on based on a given criteria: Innovation, Theme, Gameplay, Graphics, and Audio. The Overall ranking will be based on the summary of those.

Prizes

Prizes will be given to the best entries of the overall ranking:

Winners will also be promoted via our Twitter, on the gamedevjs.com website, and in the Gamedev.js Weekly newsletter.

Rules

It's the very first edition of the jam, so I didn't want to complicate things. The short version is: anything that can run on the Web in a browser without extra plugins is considered a valid jam entry. It's highly advised you create a new content for the jam - submitting your old demos or already finished projects makes no sense.

If you have any questions or concerns please ask at the Community forums or join our Discord.
