Anyone willing to help me organizing it, if you perhaps have any ideas for presentations like last time (it would be great to repeat it!), just let me know, I would be so thankful for any help! :heart:

I think the presentations were a great idea last year. I hope we can repeat it!

I have good timing. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I still haven’t participated in a jam yet – every time, the revealed theme leaves me struggling for an idea.

It will most probably be again a 2-week long jam, I find it a perfect duration for anybody wanting to have fun and join to make a game whenever comfortable :wink:

Poll for the date of jam is closed, Jam will be held on 1. September :wink:

Draft page, but you can already sign up:

If you would like to hold a presentation like last year - please write me a DM :wink:
Benefits: you can train your public speaking skills, prepare for a bigger conference, for example if you wish to speak at DevGAMM etc, even to apply for those - it’s nice to tell them about presentations you already did! :wink:

You can start creating before the jam period, you can prepare templates, shaders, assets or even the core code, then in the jam - play with the theme adaptation :wink:

Good luck and have fun everyone!

My idea would’ve fit nicely in this category. “Sadly” I’m on holidays, but I’ll see if I can still manage to get something out of my hands. :crossed_fingers:
