LONDON GAME JAMS

Have you ever wanted to make a video game, but never had the time to commit to learning how to do it? Or are you a seasoned game dev looking for a fun and exciting challenge?
Game Jams are events where small teams work to produce a video game in a short time frame. Open to everyone, regardless of prior experience, Game Jams are a great way to learn new skills, meet new people, and have a lot of fun!

SIGN UP HOW IT WORKS

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

Open to Anyone

Making Video Games has never been easier, thanks to the wealth of free, accessible game design tools that are available. But even if you have no familiarity with these tools, or even no knowledge of how game design works, there are still plenty of roles that need to be filled in every game's development.

Every team in a Game Jam will need someone who can create the art for the game, be that 3D models or simple pixel sprites. They'll also need music, sound effects (maybe even voice acting!), textures, puzzle design, and writing. There are so many jobs in ever game's development that, no matter what your speciality, there'll be a role for you on your team.

Sometimes, participants from previous events will offer tutorials for beginners, offering quick and simple tips for producing functional games as quickly as possible. There are, of course, plenty of guides around the internet for this, too!

  • "Thoroughly impressed with the games shown this evening and those who turned up, I saw a lot of potential in all of them, and learned so much in a treacherous 48 hours."

    JAMES DUNCAN
    Participant
  • "The last Game Jams have been amazing simply because it is both hilarious and impressive to see what kind of weird and wonderful ideas people can come up with when they are given a short deadline."
    ADAM WORWOOD
    Participant
  • "It would be great if my teammate, the one who knows programming, didn't spend 48 straight hours trying to make a model in blender while I bastardised some javascript to make doors open. It would be better if the doors actually opened."
    JAMES FOX
    Host

  • "I enjoyed the very teamwork-centric atmosphere, especially the part where we redubbed all of Oliver's parts without telling him."
