3... 2... 1... 48 Hours to make a game! 🚀

GTA MegaJam is a nation-wide game development challenge organized by Game To Aim (NIT Rourkela). Whether you are a pro developer or just starting out, this is your chance to build something amazing, learn new skills, and compete for a massive prize pool!

The jam runs for 48 hours from January 31st to February 1st.

This event is powered by Unstop and supported by the Game Developer Association of India (GDAI).



🐣 BUT WHAT IF I'M NEW?

Give it a shot anyway! Game jams are the best way to learn. You don't need to make a masterpiece; you just need to make something.

Even if you don't finish, you'll learn more in these 36 hours than in a month of tutorials.
