We back!

With the release of version 2.0 of paper maker on the horizon we thought it was about time we hosted a new game jam. This community has grown so much since november 2021 and we cannot wait to see what all of you make this time around.

Wait! What is PaperJam?

PaperJam is a month long competition where game developers collaberate and face off with the goal to make this best game around a theme. The purpose of this jam is to learn new things, make something cool for others to enjoy and ofcourse have a lot of fun participating.16

The rules

The rules for PaperJam are fairly simple but please read them to avoid breaking one on accident and getting disqualified because that wouldn't be fun now would it?
