Tas Game Makers are excited to present TasJam 2025! The jam is intended to line up with our local monthly meetups. The start being on Wednesday the 26th of November coinciding with our November monthly meet up at Hobart Brewing Co - at 5:30pm.

Jam end date is Tuesday 9th December at 6pm, and we are aiming to have another meet up on the Wednesday the 10th of December for presentations.  

We encourage in-person jamming so you're welcome to join us at the meet up on the 26th to help form a team if you want. Otherwise, the jam is open to all Tasmanians and you can jam online. 

This time we have not been able to secure a venue in time. We wanted to make sure a jam happened in 2025, we know there has been interest! Instead we plan to coincide the start and end of the jam with the social meet ups. We will do our best to give suggestions for where to work in-person, such as libraries, co-working spaces, other community spaces. You are of course welcome to find your own venue, or work from home. 

Voting: As per usual, TasJam does not offer prizes or awards of any kind, we are however using itch.io's voting system to vote on elements such as being on-theme, artwork, fun factor and originality. Ultimately voting is optional and encouraged if you want to support the teams.

Theme is: "Glass Half Full"
