WELCOME TO THE 8th

INTERSTELLAR GAME JAM

Join us as we spend FIVE DAYS to make a game that is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! 

What is this?

This is the 8th Interstellar Game Jam! A five day event where you take a video game concept and bring it to life for others to gaze upon!

What's the theme?

The theme is: REVOLUTION   

Who can join?

ANYONE AND EVERYONE! Any age, team size and anyone from anywhere in the galaxy! 

Who can vote?

If you SUBMITTED A GAME or were a CONTRIBUTOR on a game, you are allowed to vote! 

What can I use?

Any engine or software you like! Or none at all! Any assets you have the legal right to use can be used for the jam (as long as they are credited), any skeleton code and any idea you might have had. So long as the majority of the game is made during the jam period, you’re ok. 

Where can I ask for help?

You can join the Interstellar Garden Discord if you have any questions for the host or anyone in the community! You can show off your progress, brainstorm ideas or even find teammates to help you finish your game jam project there!  

Will our games be livestreamed?

Yes! Our lovely and beautiful host will also be LIVESTREAMING all of the entries on the Interstellar Garden YouTube channel, and giving live feedback and critiques to each entry, in submission order! Stay tuned in on the IG Discord for announcements on the dates and times for each stream, or catch the VOD afterwards! 

Patreon members get an exclusive private livestream ahead of the public YouTube livestreams, for more gameplay time and more personalized feedback. The VOD will be available exclusively for Patrons on the Patreon page. 

WHAT'S THE PRIZE?

ALL WINNERS, including 2nd and 3rd place Overall winners, will earn themselves an EXCLUSIVE ROLE in the Interstellar Garden Discord to commemorate their achievement! Winners will also get a personal message to you from our CEO saying how good he thinks you did.  :)
