Slow Jam Winnipeg is a game jam, running for the whole of March.  It's designed to help you start a new project or finish a project you've been working on or thinking about for a long time. To learn more, read the extended description below.

Anyone who has been trying to make games for even a few months will have a project like this - a game you just can't seem to get over the finish line. Maybe you're stuck on that one stubborn programming issue? It could be you've got 75% of the idea but can't bring it all together? Have you practically finished a game and you're waiting for a reason to share it? Perhaps you go back to this project every 6 months, realise how much better you could make it and start again from scratch? You may even be new to game dev, and you need a reason to finish that very first game!

Whatever the reason, Slow Jam Winnipeg is here to help you. The jam will run throughout March 2022, tick something big off your to do list and make a game! Use the hashtag #SlowJamWpg on Twitter to share your progress.

Rules This jam is all about giving you a reason to finish those stubborn projects, so the rules are very relaxed:

• Submit any type of game by the end of March 2022, just get that game finished.
• In fact, your project doesn't even need to be a game. Tools, screensavers and printable board games are all welcome.
• Use any tools you want, there are no restrictions and nothing stopping you
• It doesn't matter how much work you've already put into the project, use this as the motivation for that final push
• Work alone or in teams, get help from whoever you need
• Use any assets that you're legally allowed to use, there are plenty of resources out there if you're struggling for graphics or music

"It's the mindset of getting away from instant gratification, letting things develop and mature without haste. And through this getting a more rewarding and less superficial experience." - Oliviert Van Acker
