About this Event

The GDSA Annual GDJam is taking place on October 16th to the 18th from 5:00 pm - 5:00 pm on the 18th over our custom community Discord server!

A Game Jam is a 48-hour hackathon, where you form a team, obtain a theme, and go! You’ll get the theme the day of, and everyone will make a game based on their interpretation of the theme!

Remember that Game Jams are about learning first and foremost, we encourage people to join regardless of their skill level, because the best way to learn is to do!

Team sizes are up to you, and the members of your team are also up to you.

Jam Rules

Being in community during the game jam creates an incredible environment where you can get help from your own team members and other jammers!

In the spirit of a traditional game, even though we're online, we're asking all participants to join our custom Discord server (which will be sent to your email). In this server you can talk to other participants, share your progress and more!

Game content is mostly up to you, please be advised that we do expect content to be tasteful and represent the GDSA and the OTSU well!

At the GDSA, and we encourage our members to take care of themselves and their team first, and then worry about the game.
