🎮 Let's MAKE GAMES! 🎲 GMTK Game Jam

GMTK JAM is a weekend-long game jam where we'll get together to collaborate and make games.

Whether you're an artist, designer, programmer, or complete beginner - we'd love to meet you and make a game with you this weekend!

What is a game jam?
Participants make a game from scratch in line with the theme of the jam and within a specified time frame - in this case, one weekend. This event is for the first night of the jam, and we will continue to meet over the course of the weekend to finish our projects together.

What to expect at the kickoff event?

• Meet local developers and creatives
• Share game ideas and goals for the jam
• Form teams around ideas, skill areas, and goals
• Bring, share, & enjoy snacks
• Start working on your prototype

Participation is open to all, including people who have never made a game before, people who want to make a game alone or with a pre-existing team, and people who want to work remotely. If you'd like help finding a team for the jam, this event is a great opportunity!

Game jams can help you make new connections, gain experience, and test your development skills or existing indie game ideas. They can also be pretty darn fun. How to Game Jam FAQ.

GMTK Jam (organized by Youtube channel Game Maker's ToolKit) is mostly focused on video games, but you could also make a board game, TTRPG, or an experimental art project during the jam and show it at our next playtest night on Friday, September 20th!

Over the course of the weekend, we'll have office hours dedicated to jammers who want to get together in person to work, hang out, and play each others games!

They will take place on:
Saturday, 8am - 10pm
Sunday, 8am - 8pm
