The New Mexico Game Jam is a 48 hour game development challenge meant to bring together local artists and developers for creative collaboration. This is the 16th anniversary of AGDG hosting the New Mexico Game Jam.

This year, the jam will be online/remote and in-person! 

In collaboration with UNM's Film & Digital Arts department, participants will be able to work together in-person at a location on the UNM main campus. As with previous jams, you may participate remotely online if you aren't able to attend in person, and teams can have both in-person and remote members.

CERIA Building, Room 365
302 Yale Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106

The in-person jam site has internet access but there are no available PCs at this location. If you're planning to participate in-person, please bring whatever tech and accessories you'll need (laptop, mouse, headphones, etc.).

There are bathrooms in the building and access to the UNM Student Union Building nearby for food and beverages. We are not responsible for any lost items during the jam, so please don't leave your belongings unattended.

GAME JAM RULES

• You can use any game engine you like! As long as you can upload your game to itch.io, you're all good.

• If you do use external assets, you must have legal right and clearly mention their use in the itch.io description of your entry.

• You can work in teams of any size. You may work alone, but I've heard it's dangerous to go alone.

• Entries containing excessive gore, violence, nudity, or strong language will be disqualified.

• If you don't quite get your submission in on time, you can message Greg Klein in the Discord for a late submission link.

• If you have any questions or concerns, please send a message to Greg Klein or LazyWeekend in the NM Game Jam discord.
