๐ŸŽ‰ Welcome to Lehigh University's Game Development Club's first Game Jam! ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŽฎ


What is a game jam?

A game jam is an event where participants try to develop a video game from scratch within the time allotted (1 week for this jam!). Game Jams generally follow a theme, which is revealed when the jam begins.

This jam is especially for beginners!

  • You must be a Lehigh student to enter
  • Limit your team to up to 4 members
  • You must finish the game within the allotted time
  • All code must be created by you and your team during the jam (assets allowed)
  • Submit your game with a README listing team members + Lehigh emails
  • No NSFW
  • Questions? Email Chase at chl226@lehigh.edu or join our Discord

๐ŸŽจ Theme

The theme for this game jam is 'If it's broke, fix it!'


How do you incorporate this theme?

You may interpret the theme in any way you want! Here's a few questions you may ask yourself for brainstorming:

How can I interpret the word 'broke'? (Physically? Emotionally? Financially? Mechanically?)

How can I interpret the word 'fix'? (Repair? Solve? Innovate? Rig?)

What items/systems/things in life tend to be broken?

What games have I played where something is 'broke' or is 'fixed'?

Remember to start very small and prototype fast! The most important voting criteria is game completion, so we want to see a start and end (or a loop) to your game!
