We're running a GMTK Game Jam! (Patreon)

So, some of the game devs on Discord were chatting about a game jam. And now - thanks to the hard work of Patron Aaron - it looks like we'll be running one!

Watch the video about it, here. 

A game jam, if you don’t know, is where you try and make a game that fits some kind of theme, and make it in a super short period of time.

For the GMTK jam, that theme will be one of my videos - giving you a chance to play around with the ideas that were discussed in the episode. Which episode, you ask? Well you’ll have to wait and see! The theme gets announced when the jam starts.

Which is at 6PM on Friday July 14th, until 6PM on Sunday July 16th. That’s for whatever time zone you’re in.

The jam will be public, so not just for Patrons (simply so we get as many entries as possible! As such, this post is also made public)

I’ll be one of the judges, and as long as like more than one person enters, I’ll do a video down the line to look at some of the best games that come out of the jam.

This will be for people of all skill levels, from veteran game developers to someone who has never made a game before. I’m going to be opening a channel on the Discord where you’ll be able to chat with fellow jammers and other helpful people to get advice.
