Description: What is a game jam? A game jam is where participants create a game from scratch within a time limit. The Recall Game Jam is an initiative to teach and encourage the interest in game development and software development technologies. This means we will meet up on discord to run some workshops to start the process of creating a game in person! The intention of the timespan of the physical event is to give opportunity to be connected to the group members and to get workshops to jump start the development process. The timespan for the full event (1 week) is to give flexibility of a game in a small scope. One may desire to make a game that takes 1-3 days spread across the week in a maneageble and healthy way. By the end of the event, submissions can be sent to [email protected] or on the discord provided when the event starts.

Rules:

The theme of the Jam will be determined when the event starts.

The game will be based on the theme.

Teams can be as big or small as desired.

By the end of the event, submissions can be sent between August 10th-17th to [email protected] or on the discord provided when the event starts.
