Welcome to the Indie Game Dev Beginner gamejam #002

This gamejam is dedicated for gamedev beginners and is hosted by the IGDB Discord Server community.

The actual gamejam theme will be announced on Dec 25th 10:00pm CET on our live revelation website. You will have to create a game related to that theme. You may work solo or teamup with other beginners (you can do that in #teamup). 

The only conditions of the jam are that you have to be a gamedev beginner and that you submit a game solely related on the theme. If it is not clear how your game refers to the theme, please explain it. Of course you can be creative since themes can be abstract.

The jam theme will be randomly decided by a computer program. If you have any questions please ask in #gamejam or dm casual_dev (admin).

Theme revelation website: https://www.nerdifex.com/gamejam/theme

This gamejam is powered by Nerdifx, a 1-man indie software development company.
