What are Game Jams?
Welcome back Indie Game Enthusiasts! Today, on Indie Game Update, we will discuss game Jams!
What Are Game Jams?
Game jams are events developers can participate in to create a video game in a certain time frame from scratch. These events allow participants to usually work as an individual or form their own teams to compete. Game Jams can be hosted in physical places such as universities and event halls but also can be hosted virtually online such as game jams hosted on itch.io.
Why Join Game Jams?
Game Jams are a great way to meet other developers or improve your game developing skills. Itch.io has various game jams that are hosted throughout the year. Entering a game jam especially though itch.io allows for gamers to find your games through a specific tag of their interest. If you don’t plan on joining a game jam it is still great to observe how other developers participate and how they execute their ideas into a finished project.
