Our end of the year game jam is back. To sleigh the least, we are very excited to see everyone again before we break for the holidays. Also take this an opportunity to get some jam practice in before Global Game Jam in Jan. 😉
We would like to thank our supporters:
If you are interested in hosting (or have some place that would be cool to host a game jam), and/or you want to sponsor our game jam, you can drop us an email via info@gamecraft.it.
To limit the amount of disposable cups used, bring your own mug. Thankies in advance.
Games made on the day will be uploaded to itchio, https://itch.io/jam/gamecraft-an-incredibyule-end-of-year-jam
##What is a GameCraft about? It’s a game jam for people who are interested in game-making to come together under one roof to make games, meet people and generally have fun. GameCraft provides a venue so you can concentrate on making fun games. We also provide food and beverages throughout the day.
A game jam is an event for people to make games based on a theme (announced at the beginning of the jam) within a given period of time. It can be 8 hours or even up to 24 hours.
You bring your own tools, laptops, sound equipment, peripherals, software, assets, etc. We do not provide any equipment.
No, you can make non-digital games like boardgames, card games, RPGs, other types of pervasive games. All you need to do is bring your own craft materials. We don’t provide any on the day.
YES! You like games, and having fun. You don’t have to be a programmer, if you can draw, tell stories, make music, and more… come along!
Yes, GameCraft events are all adult events (over 18s) unless specified. Normally when you sign up, you have to agree that you are over 18 before completing your registration.
Nope, let us know when you check-in at registration on Saturday morning (09:30-09:59), and let us know what skills you have, and we can form a group in the morning before we announce the theme.
As many as you want. :-)
