Hello everyone,
as the Covid-19 situation is not allowing us to organise our regular jam physically on the site, we have decided to take it as an opportunity to organise our first game jam online. We will be glad if you join us!
Why to join:
1) first of all, during the years, we have build a supportive and very friendly community which is regularly attending our game jams. And we will be happy if you enlarge it this year
2) Thanks to our cooperation with GDS Conference, we are able to showcase the best game jam game (based on the community voting) on an online booth at the GDS conference this year
3) You will be able to meet various interesting people and we also provide prices for the best game
Who are we:
We are educators and developers running a game development education at Charles University in Prague. Together with organizers of GDS Conference, we conduct regular game jams to support game development community. Everyone can join our jam with regardless of their skills. Our jam this year is part of the CZ/SK GAME JAM WEEK 2020 initiate in which we are closely collaborating and synchronizing our efforts with other game jam organizers from Bratislava Game Jam 2020 and Košice Game Days Jam 2020.
