Giveaways on Discord RIGHT NOW!


A 48 hour weekend game jam with prizes and giveaways leading up to the event!
From theme suggestions, slaughter, and final votes its up to you! Final submissions are also voted on by you the devs!

Discord Jam is about community! Made up of indie developers, composer's, artist, designers and players the floor is yours to shine this summer!

#DJAM was started in 2017...
It was created and hosted within the Ludum Dare Discord. The reason for it was due to Ludum dare becoming 2 times year rather than 3. Even if you don't make it to the end or submit the fun is in the time spent participating with everyone!

The vision is to create an event for not only indie developers but also indie game players and the discord community as a whole to be excited to watch/participate and see the outcome.  We also plan to run a live stream where we check in with participants 

We will be running events and giveaways all month on the discord so be sure to be active and check in for info relating out just be in chat and you may get lucky!

Theme selection is totally up to you, the participant!

With a month long process leading up to the event to select it.
ALL theme suggesting/slaughtering/voting happen on discord!

First there is theme suggestions where you can give up to 10 themes for yours and others games to be made around. This is done in the #suggest-themes channel on the discord under the discord jam section. Remember to put a little thought into it as you want them to make it past slaughter.
(Use <!mysuggestions>in discord to see your suggested themes.)

The slaughter is where we bring it down to just 10 themes from all the great suggestions in the community to the not so great...
This will happen within your DM's on discord Automated for your leisure to just click.

Lastly the final vote the last part before the actual event. The Top 10 vote is where you can vote for the final theme develop your game around. The theme with the most upvotes wins.
This will also happen in your DM's within discord!
