GDEX’s 6th GDEX Game Jam is coming to you again and all ONLINE for FREE! With 50 participants last year, we’re excited to jam with you again this year. This year, we're bringing back our game jam organizer Discord bot Jammio! Check it out at:

www.jammio.xyz

Jammio will be there the whole event to help you setup teams and support your game jamming needs.

EVENT DETAILS
JAMMIN' TIME FRAME 
Create your game on Discord Friday August 1st at 6PM ET - Saturday August 9th at 11:59PM ET
Submissions are officially closed end-of-day Saturday August 9th ET

RULES RULE
Authentic Jamming Effort Policy: Game projects/submissions must be created for our jam! If you have questions about what constitutes a jam project, just ask! We reserve the right to withdraw submissions that we determine were not created in the spirit of game jamming.

Artificial Intelligence Policy: AI is out in the world, and has already been added to many common professional software tools in differing capacities. The GDEX Game Jam intends to be a place showcasing the efforts of sentient organic life -- if you use a tool or resource that involves AI, it must be available for usage/purchase by all other participants at the time the jam starts. Assets generated by AI are NOT permitted in your final submission project. (Things that are okay: planning/documentation purely outside of the game; "work-in-progress" placeholders that are replaced before the final submitted version.) When in doubt, over-explain what you are doing and give us enough time to respond before submissions close.
See our full list of rules & guidelines on our GDEX website.
