This jam is now over. It ran from 2021-01-28 14:00:00 to 2021-02-06 15:30:00.
Welcome to the Casual Jam! Unlike other game jams, we will be hosting this jam for 9 days – beginning Thursday 28th, and concluding our Jam on February 6th.
We will be providing our own theme, and we are expecting participants to create a game within a set amount of time, it can be any kind of game, as long as it related to the abstract theme given at the beginning of the Jam.
Any platform can be used, such as Unity, Unreal, or any other game engine of your preference. Participants of all abilities are welcome; this is not a competition. And if you’re not feeling confident enough with coding – board games are also viable.
Come to our meeting on Discord on Thursday 28th at 7pm GMT – here we will give a brief summary as to what we will be doing, and revealing our Jam's theme! We will have text chats and voice chats available, so people are able to find teams. However, if you choose to, you may work independently.
During the week, participants are free to organise their own time to discuss with teammates using the text and voice channels available on the CompSoc Discord.
We will have a catchup meeting on Tuesday 2nd, 7pm GMT, and have our final meeting on Saturday at 2pm GMT, where participants can present their game to the rest of the group, and receive feedback.
Participation is free! Anyone can come, as long as they are a CompSoc member.
