What is a Game Jam?
A Game Jam is a short event where you and others work together to create a small game. There are usually restrictions on the kinds of games you can make, typically centered around a theme. GameJams are incredibly helpful for developing new skills, refining your ability to estimate workload, network with other creators, and contain scope. Even more importantly, they help you build relationships with other people who are passionate about making games.
🖨 OVERVIEW
Jammers will have 1 week to produce a viable game for submission based on the Theme that you will have to follow(as it is one of the Voting Criteria), after submission phase ends is the Voting Phase where you and other Jammers can vote on each other's games. After Voting Phase will show the results, although everyone will get the chance to have their game played and criticized by a Special Guest as well as other Jammers so you can gain insight and improve your Game Development skills.
All games submitted and eligible for judgment will be played with a full analysis breakdown and discussion to help all of us become better developers.
