I recently decided to join a 1-week long Community Game Jam. The jam is being hosted by several popular YouTube game developers.

Update: The Game Jam is over. My submission is uploaded. Link posted below.

What is a Game Jam?

A Game Jam is a type of “themed” game development contest. Single Developers and/or teams submit games created specifically for the Jam. Games are Judged based on different categories such as Art, Fun, and Uniqueness.

Game Jams come in different lengths. Some Game Jams might last a couple hours, and some might last a couple days.

The best part about a Game Jam is that each Game Jam has it’s own Unique Theme. This theme isn’t told to anyone until the exact start time. This creates a fun layer of suspense and mystery. You can’t start brainstorming ideas until the clock starts ticking.

My Entry & Progress

When the Jam starts on Saturday August 24th at 3:00PM EST, I will begin development and probably wait until later in the week to post. I’ll definitely make a post when the Jam is over for my final entry.

I’ve also got some ideas for more tips and content for this blog. So stay tuned. Thanks for reading.
