XR Games Jam23!

Those of you with XR this time last year will almost certainly remember our spring Game Jam! Well, we’re gonna do it again. This brief is a modification of last year’s brief, to bring it up to date with slight tweaks to the format.

It is planned to take place over Friday 28th and Saturday 29th, April 2023.

Entry is voluntary, with those who prefer not to participate enjoying a normal working Friday (but with beer and pizza).

Participants will form into small teams (2 to 4 people), sign up, deliver a short concept ahead of time, and discuss that concept. This will result in a plan for the game jam days themselves.

You Can Make What You Want To Make

Please be aware that not all people can play your game if it’s extremely platform-specific or hardware dependent.

The Theme

This jam aims to explore the possibilities for arcade machines in Starship and our other suitable projects. The arcade machines that were made for the Cornhole project (and later inserted into Pool) were excellent (thanks Danny and team!), and we’d like more. 

As such, the theme is simplicity. Simple is harder than complicated. Simple is very hard.
