We at Chalmers University and Gothenburg University in Lindholmen, present you with this first Game Jam of the 2023/2024 academic year! In this game jam, you get to make a game based on a certain theme in just one weekend! After submitting your game there will be a panel of judges who will rate and vote on the games.

Game jams are a fun way to challenge yourself, meet other devs, and talk about your games and their progress. And of course, the best part is that in the end you will have made and finished a game that you can share with friends, family, and your fellow developers.

Are you new to game dev and don't think you can finish a game in such a short amount of time? Well give it a shot anyway,  it's worth a try and you'll probably learn a lot!

Join our discord server for any notifications about the jam and you get to meet other participants and hype yourself up before the event!

Please note there are no limits to the type of game you can create for the jam, as long as it fits the theme! Some examples could be computer games, VR games, AR games, board games, card games, interactive experiences, interactive stories, etc.

Also note that if you cannot make the first day it is ok, you have all weekend to make your games! Though you may want to join the first day to find a Team!  To participate in the jam please create or log in to your account here on itch.io and sign up for the jam. Join our discord server for updates!

Anyone and everyone is welcome to the game jam!

The 2nd floor studio @ Kuggen, Lindholmen in Göteborg

You have free use of Kuggen to work on your games through the entire weekend.

Please use the discord server to notify about getting inside Kuggen doors as they will be locked (students and staff who study at Chalmers and GU in Lindholmen do have access).

Do note for submissions, if you've submitted your game, do not delete it, if you delete your game you are out of luck. Making changes after the deadline is not possible. Make sure your game is uploaded to itch.io if you want to participate.  For physical-based games, upload the materials and game rules. Please do remember to upload to the itch submission before the deadline! Otherwise, we (Judges) cannot play your game!

The games will be rated into 5 categories: Game Design, Fun, Theme, Graphics, and Sound Design.  This is a short variety of game dev aspects, so don't worry if you can't hit all of them perfectly! Try to be creative and stick to the theme though!

After the submission period, the judges run a Let's Play! Afterward, the judges deliberate and announce the winners!

Winners will be noted at the top of this game jam page, and be given special tags in our discord server. There are also some awesome special prizes for the winners from the sponsors.

Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg 

These two universities are also the hosts for the game jam.
