Welcome to Indie City Jams!

Indie City Jams is a series of (usually) monthly game jams, hosted in-person in Chicago by Indie City Games! Participants are invited to join us in person for a day of coworking and prototyping.

Video game and tabletop entries alike are welcome!

This time around, instead of a traditional game jam, we'll be focused on coworking/working on existing projects/prototyping. No theme! Come by and work alongside other local devs. Participants are highly encouraged to submit prototypes to the jam page!

Venue

This month's jam will be generously sponsored by and held at Logan Square Public Library! The jam will run from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM CST.

If participating in person, please be sure to bring any equipment you'll require to participate effectively- laptop and and any peripherals if making a video game, or any physical supplies you might need for a tabletop game. 

We'll also be supplying various supplies for paper prototyping and those designing tabletop games, so feel free to hop in even if all you can bring is yourself!

Can't make it in person or just not in Chicago? Feel free to participate online! 

Theme

No theme this time around! Just come by and work on your own projects, or whip up a new prototype.
