─NO CODE GAME JAM─

We’re excited to introduce something truly groundbreaking: No-Code Game Jam! This is a limited-time challenge where you must design an entire game without writing a single line of code. That's right—zero programming. No Unity, no Unreal, not even Scratch.

Instead, you'll have to get creative with your game development tools:
PowerPoint – Animation and gameplay mechanics
Excel – Level design & procedural generation
Google Docs – Interactive storytelling
MS Paint – UI and art (brush tool only!)
Pen and Paper – For immersive, print-and-play experiences

HOW IT WORKS:

• Submissions will be judged on gameplay depth, narrative innovation, and how convincingly you pretend this is a real game.
• The winner will receive a high-quality JPEG of a trophy and eternal bragging rights.

HOW TO SIGN UP:
To participate in the No-Code Game Jam, follow these steps carefully:
Join the jam page on itch.io
Join our exclusive jam channel
Submit a detailed design document (must be handwritten and scanned)
Final step: Email us a video of you passionately explaining your no-code game mechanics while standing outside in the snow (for authenticity). winnipeggamecollective@gmail.com

Q & A:
Q: Can I use GameMaker or Twine?
A: No! That’s basically cheating. You must suffer like the rest of us.
Q: What if my game needs a tutorial?
A: Please provide a fully narrated PowerPoint presentation or a series of interpretive dance videos.
Q: Can I make a physical board game?
A: Only if it includes a real-time physics engine (aka, you throwing dice).
