Description
It's back! LameJam is an Ottawa-based game jam for first timers where we bring students, educators, and industry professionals together to not just jam, but to offer talks and mentorship during the weekend to provide jammers with helpful tools and inspiration to help you through your first ever jam. You have two days to design and develop either a digital or tabletop game. No experience in making games? Make this your first! Jammed before? You're welcome as well! LameJam is all about working together, co-operating, and giving yourself a chance to try and to learn new things.
