Dear Game Design Studio students,

Welcome to our semester-long game jam — a space designed to support your project submissions and foster meaningful play-testing and feedback throughout the course. 

This platform will be your go-to hub for uploading your game builds at each milestone, allowing everyone to showcase their progress and creativity as the semester unfolds.

But this isn’t just about sharing your games — it’s about playing and learning from each other. Engaging deeply with your peers’ projects by providing thoughtful, constructive feedback is a vital part of the learning experience. It helps you develop a critical eye, improve your own work, and contribute to the growth of the whole cohort.

I encourage you to approach this with curiosity and openness. Play actively, explore different ideas, and offer feedback that is clear, respectful, and actionable. Remember, the goal is to support each other in making the best games possible while honing your skills as both developers and designers.

I’m excited to see the innovative games you create and the collaborative energy that emerges from this process. Let’s make this semester’s game jam a rewarding and inspiring journey for everyone!
