TigerDev Summer Game Jam 2019

Feeling bored this summer? Bored of having fun in the sun? Tired of swimming, sunbathing until you're as red as a cherry, or engaging in high-octane Super-Soaker battles? Well look no further, as our first game jam of the summer is upon us! So get back chair, close your blinds (since we don't really like or need the sun) and get ready to not leave your house for week!

(I kid, please take care of yourselves and enjoy your summer while you work on your games!)

Theme

Jam!

Yes. The theme for the jam is jam. What does that mean? Whatever you want! Jam has a lot of meanings. You spread it on toast, you jam out to your favorite music, you remove them from printers... You get the picture! Create something revolving around some application of this word!

Judging

  • Does it fit the given theme? Are you applying the theme in some interesting and unique way? These should be easy points if it's clear you developed the game and its concept specifically for this jam.
