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 make a bi-yearly tradition!

For our fourth iteration of the Jam, we have students from:

  • Careeria (Finland)
  • Vuoksi (Finland)
  • Sasky (Finland)
  • Omnia Game Dev Workshop (Finland)
  • Galway Technical Institute (Ireland)

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

For more information, please contact:

Schedule?

// NOTE: All times are in the Finnish timezone, EET (UTC +2) //

Starting ceremony on Monday at 10:30 at our Discord server, where the theme will be revealed at the end. Once it's concluded, the participants will team up on the server and start making their games!

All of the created games will be uploaded here and are publicly available to be played, shared and downloaded. All uploads must be complete before the final deadline on midnight Thursday at 23:59.

We highly encourage all participants to maintain a healthy lifestyle and schedule throughout the week of jamming for both personal well-being and optimal performance.

Discord and Rules?

We use our Discord server as the base of all teamwork and communications during the Jam. We want to maintain a warm, secure and professional atmosphere for everyone to enjoy!

That’s why we all represent ourselves and our respective organizations in a positive light, using our real names.
We treat ourselves and each other with respect, at all times.

The goal is to have fun together, create interesting games and to forge new bonds of co-operation across schools internationally!

Once you join the server, please check out the rules, change your server nickname, and then write an intro of yourself with the role you want to take in the jam!
