[ONLINE] Slow Game Jam

Join us in this friendly game jam! This will be a great opportunity to engage in creative and fun activities while at home, work with new people, and build/add to your game dev portfolio.

We've decided to do a freestyle game jam to just get going and start making games. That means no judged competition. It's all for the fun of making games! We strongly encourage cross-team collaboration. If you are stuck or want some feedback on your ideas, reach out to other teams. At the end of the event, the teams will be able to play everyone's games.

This is also a slow paced jam across 2 weeks. Take your time and pace yourself. You can signup as a participant, mentor, or both.

On 02/19, be prepared to present ideas. Feel free to make a quick presentation to share (max 5 minutes).

At the end of the jam on 03/05, you or a representative for your team will 5 minutes to demo your game, followed by 10 minutes for receiving feedback from other participants.

If you don't want to create a game, but would like to play, feel free to join us on the last Friday! (03/05/2021)

We encourage communication on our Slack channel if you'd like to form teams prior the the start of the jam.

Our main communication channel will be via Slack:
