Glitch Jam - 72 hour game jam starting on the 4th of May

Many years ago Simon and I hosted a Corona jam called GIGJam48 with the intention of making it a regular thing, however it proved to be quite time consuming to do and sadly we were never able to run it again.

However, now that Itch.io has made running jams so much simpler we have decided to start a new jam, which this time will be held every 6 months.

Full information ( well, mostly full ) can be found on our jam page here and if you have any questions please just ask!

 

I’m in!

Sounds like a lot of fun.

I would love to participate but I have no time  :frowning:

I´m so happy you take the time to host this.

To make the Jam super-extremely-mega competitive, I will throw a $25 Amazon gift card in the price pool  B)

Yay awesome!

Seriously thank you this is an amazing offer!

Very happy to say that we now have three prizes for the pool:

CodeAndWeb are also kindly providing temporary licences to their software for all participants for the duration of the jam, and if people want they will then be able to upgrade those to full licences afterwards for a discounted price.

Prizes aren’t what’s important in a game jam, having fun and experimenting is, however it’s still a nice bonus, so here is the current prize list:

It’s just over 2 weeks to go until the start of Glitch Jam 1 - https://itch.io/jam/glitch-jam-1

Glitch Jam 1 is tomorrow! There’s still time to join though! https://itch.io/jam/glitch-jam-1

FYI, ponyblitz --which is our blank template for jam games–is updated and takes care of a lot of the basic menu, sound, Tiled map loading, etc. so you can spend more time building your game…

Yes! This is great! Please people use libraries or anything you like, this isn’t a “reinvent the wheel” jam, it’s more of a “let’s just make some cool experiments” jam.

I can’t wait to see what you all create! This is a great chance to play with HTML5 builds!
