The Philly Asset Jam starts today! We're working together to create the Soft Pretzel Pack, a Philly-themed asset pack that people can use in their creations. It's a time capsule, an ode to Philly, and a representation of the creative power of PGM.

The Asset Jam is a low-stakes, fun opportunity for you to add a little piece of your creative magic to PGM. Here's how it works

1. You design, write, draw, model, animate, rig, compose, engineer (you get it) something Philly-themed.

2. We all upload our creations to this folder.

3. Bam! We've created the Soft Pretzel Pack, a collection of Philly assets.

Don't think you can contribute? Think again! You might be a writer: write voice lines you might overhear walking through the city. You might be a sound engineer: record/edit/create Septa train sounds. You might be a voice actor: record an argument over a cheesesteak. The sky's the limit! (artists, I didn't bother including you in these examples--I think you know what to do).

Some notes:

- This jam is meant to have a low barrier to entry. You can work by yourself (or with others) to build something in your discipline at any point during the month of May. We're making it easy to participate because we want as much representation as possible! It could take as little as an hour to leave your mark on the jam!

- Philly-themed is very much open to interpretation. Be creative! But please don't violate the PGM Code of Conduct. Nothing hateful, and no violence. And don't mess with copyright infringement.
