Hey guys, I am an Industrial/ Product designer and uptill now i have designed physical products. I am in love with toy designs and since there are very few opportunities for the same, i am looking to explore and learn more about game design. I just heard about this game jams and i have 0 idea of what this is. Could some one help me out , like how is the submissions done. would just designing a game work like an idea or it needs to be an end Product?

Hello Skye. So there a jams out there where designing the game is all you need to do, But these are extremely rare, On the other hand most jams would like a product, But most jams also have a Community discord in which they offer for you to collaborate with other people. So if you are looking to join a jam, Find one with a discord. and see if you can find people who can bring that idea to life!

Unfortunately, the goal of game jam is to make a full game. Doesn't matter if it only contains one level or have short play time. 

Hey! Your background in industrial and toy design sounds super creative that could bring a unique perspective to game design. I actually know someone who’s great at collaborating with newcomers in game jams and could guide you through the process from idea to finished product. Would you like me to connect you with them?
