In the name of Evil, GDS present the most Evil thing of all: giving people an excuse to not do revision over the Easter holidays!

The penultimate GDS Game Jam of the academic year, over the next five weeks you can work either solo or in a team to create any sort of game. You can submit an unfinished game or prototype as well as a full game, so long as it was made within the 5-week period. Don't worry if you're not Evil enough to join, as we will be hosting another game jam after exams.

Theme

This Game Jam has two themes:

• The Meta-Theme is "Time-wasting", matching with our Evil nature.
• The (formerly) Hidden Theme is "LUCK".
