13th Alakajam | 17-19 Sep. | Make a game in 48 hours!

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 19:42:05 UTC

Hey guys,

There's an Alakajam! event scheduled for the 17-19th September week-end!

If you don't know about us, we're an online gamedev community hosting jams, where you are invited to make a game from scratch over 48 hours. Start/end times are suited to European timezones (7pm UTC), while both the theme and the winners are decided by the community! As I write the theme submission phase has just started, and you will be able to suggest ideas for one week. The full jam works this way:

You can discover the winners from the last jams here</a>. PICO-8 has been a popular engine throughout the events, some of them even winning the solo category :)

More than the thrill of the competition, a cool thing is that all games are getting valuable feedback for their games thanks to our voting/comment system.

If you're interested feel free to check in, we also have a Discord & an IRC chan. See you there!

Hi guys!

FYI there's an Alakajam! (https://alakajam.com/) event scheduled for the 12-14th October week-end.

Our community is hosting online game dev competitions where people make a game from scratch over a week-end. Start/end times are suited to European timezones (7pm UTC). All entrants can expect to get valuable feedback on their games thanks to our rating/feedback system :)

You can discover the winners from the last jam here, on which a Pico8 entry actually got 2nd place (the theme was "Always Growing"). You can also explore all our past events here.

Whether it's for the competition or just getting feedback on a game you make, if you're interested theme submissions & voting have just started as I write this. I hope to see you there!
