Frequently Asked Questions

What is a game jam?

The term “jam” in game development comes from the concept of “jamming” in music. Likewise, in a game jam, developers create a game spontaneously with limited resources under a time constraint.

When is the jam?

The jam always starts on the second Friday of the month, at 4 PM in New York City

How do I join the jam?

Click the “Join the Jam” button at the top of this page, that will take you to the current jam page on itch.io. On itch, click “Join Jam” then click “Submit your project.”

Do I have to do everything myself?

Not at all! If you want to use public domain art/sounds or the like, that’s entirely fine. And we encourage jammers to team up, too!

Can I use stuff I've already made?

To an extent.
The spirit of the jam is to learn and make something new, not rejig an existing game to fit the criteria.

Can I update my game during the voting period?

No, unless it is a severely game breaking bug.
If this is the case, please contact the organizers on Discord; they will review on a case by case basis.
Please playtest your game both in engine and as an export on your itch.io game page!
