Welcome to the first every Ryan Laley Games Jam! We are celebrating 3 years of the Ryan Laley games YouTube channel existing with an all new Games Jam. 

What is a Games Jam?

You will have a specified set amount of time to create a playable demo based on a specific theme which will be announced at the start of the jam. After submissions have ended you will be able to play and vote for other submissions.

Subscribe to Ryan Laley Games on YouTube to start learning how to make games and help you complete this competition.

Why should I do it?

A Games Jam is an excellent and fun challenge to test your skills, but to sweeten the pot further the winner at the end will be awarded a $100 USD Amazon Gift Voucher and 4 one-to-one tutorial sessions with Ryan, which never expire!

2 x Runner-Up Prizes: A free 1-to-1 private tutorial session with Ryan.

What is the theme?

What are the rules?

• You can use any graphical assets you may already have; either made by yourself or another.
• You can work solo or as part of a team.
• Submissions must be kept PG, no hanky-panky or other rude content.

How will the winner be chosen?

Every person who submits a playable demo will be able to play and cast their vote on other people's entry. This will be coupled with the judge's voting to determine a winner. Demos will be played on the live stream following the Game Jam.  We are looking for:

• How well the submission meets the theme.
• The quality of the gameplay/level design.
• How enjoyable the submission is.

The winner will be chosen and contacted by Ryan to award the prize.
