More About GGJ 18

• You can make a game in any software or out of any hardware – you can even make a board game – no rules on what, just keep it clean.
• You can form a team of any size or join an existing team. If you really want to, you could also go solo – we won’t stop you. Teams can also help each other out during development. This is because…
• The event is not meant to be competitive, but rather a collaborative environment where new ideas are born. That being said, the winning game gets chosen by popular vote from all teams at the end.
• The brief time span is meant to encourage creative thinking and result in small but innovative and experimental games. There’s no need to have a finished product – just do something you’ll love.
• There will be free food for everyone who participates during the entirety of the event.
• No game development experience is required to participate; we’ll teach you how to code and 3D model at the event!
• At the end of the weekend, you’ll be walking away with new knowledge, skills, and a project under your name.
