Milk Tea Tech is hosting its second game jam! You can join our Discord here. Head over there to vote on submissions and to get all the latest updates on the event.

This is a game design jam, so you don't need to know how to code to participate - we'll be judging based on creativity, clarity of concept, and presentation. If you feel like a demo will help you show off your concept better, great! If you'd rather make a video, a mock-up, or a board game version of the idea, that's also great.

The jam will run for 48 hours from 5-8 May 2023 (dependent on timezone) and voting will end at midnight UTC on 11 May 2023. A rough timeline:

• On the 5th we'll announce the theme of the jam, help put together teams, and open up the discord channels for different teams.
• The deadline for the jam will be be midnight, 8 May UTC
• After the deadline we'll open submissions for voting. This will be a combination of popular vote and bonuses / penalties awarded by admins. 
• Entries that clearly match the theme will get bonus points; entries that don't stick to it will be penalised.
