Hope you're ready for uOGDC's 2024 January Jam! The theme this time around will be...

⛵💧 Uncharted Waters! 🏴‍☠️💧

To welcome in the new year, this jam's theme is all about exploring the unexplored. Whether your game is about venturing the high seas, or investigating new places and experiences, as long as your game captures the thrill of discovering the unknown, you're good!

As usual, a winner will be voted at the game showcase night at the end of the jam, and the winner will receive the illustrious prize of... The respect and admiration of your peers (AKA clout)!!! 😎

You have until January 30th - the games will be showcased at the in-person event on Wednesday, January 31st. Best of luck! We look forward to seeing what you come up with!
