Making Games, Forging Memories

The 15th anniversary of the Miami Game Design Club is upon us, and we wanted to celebrate the occasion by showcasing the talents and creativity of our members. This year's game jam is inspired by all of the fun times we've had during our time at Miami University, and dedicated to all of the out-there ideas that brought us to where we are today. No matter what you create, we want you to use your creativity and out of the box thinking to make something that you enjoy. Have fun! That's what counts.

Theme - Balance

This year's theme is Balance. Whether it's self-centered focus, the juggling of responsibilities, or plates spinning in the air, balance is hard to achieve, and a constant struggle for many. We want to see all angles  of what factors into your interpretation of balance.
