What’s a Game Jam?
We have an episode all about Game Jams, but the short version is that a Game Jam is a chance to try something new by using your programming and creative skills to build a game. This jam runs from January 21st – 24th, afterwards anybody who submitted a game can play and give feedback on the games. There are no strict rules or prizes, it’s all about the fun. Check up the sign-up page for more information: itch.io

When, Where What, How, Huh?
We’re hosting a Game Jam on itch.io from January 21st to 24th. It’s a chance for you to cut loose and program a game. Check the link below for information and to sign up:

Why do you need a theme?
The theme is meant to fire up your inspiration by serving as a spark. Flame on! Just like a blank page can be a barrier to writers block, a new project can be daunting, so we wanted to provide a fun mechanism to knock that hurdle out of the way.
What if I don’t want to use theme?
That’s fine, perhaps your game won’t do as well when it comes to the judging but…so what? There are no prizes, the reward is in the journey. If you want to do your own thing, then congratulations and good luck!
What if I have a great idea for a theme, and I simply must get it on the list!
