This jam is now over. It ran from 2023-03-06 08:30:00 to 2023-03-09 21:59:59. View 21 entries

What and why?

A game jam is a game development event where the participants have a fixed amount of time to create a game. Usually the created games are designed around a theme, which is revealed at the start of the jam. There are also diversifiers; optional subthemes, constraints and ideas, to give added challenge to veteran jammers.

The International College Jam was created as an initiative to boost the co-operation of game development academies across countries, to help students improve their skills and meet new contacts. We are proud to announce the continuation of this Jam, aiming to continue a bi-yearly tradition!

For our second iteration of the Jam, we have students from Sataedu (Finland), Landstede (Holland), Careeria (Finland), Newcastle College (UK) and Riga State Technical School (Latvia)

ICJ is also streaming during the start and finish of the event, more information to come!
