Check back at https://digi-jam.itch.io/ regularly for updates on our monthly jams on the last weekend of each month.

We plan one jam a month in various areas (writing, music, art) to build up tools for making a game jam in in the fourth month, but it's also fine just to concentrate in one area if you prefer.

The current cycle is:

September: Writing Jam

October: Music Jam

November: Art Jam

Dec: Game Jam
