OVERVIEW

As part of our mission to empower the next generation of game creators, we are excited to announce the ROC Winter Jam with $2,000 in prizes!

Contestants will have four weeks to build an original game concept using the ROC Editor. For this contest we are looking for innovative core gameplay that is easy to pick up and start playing. Games will also be judged on their depth and replayability.

Besides the game jam, we're always looking for the right projects to fund. If you and your game are a good fit, we would love to help work your game concept into a fully realized game. We believe that together we can launch the next generation of indie mobile hits. Apply here if you are interested.

This jam’s theme is…

Winter Wander-Land

All contest entries should tie into winter, land-wandering, or some combination of the two! We’ll leave how that’s interpreted up to you. To get your game in the holiday spirit, consider using the SnowWorld terrain tile preset and accompanying props. Check out the official kick off announcement for more details!
