What and why?

A game jam is a game development event where the participants have a fixed amount of time to create a game.
Usually the created games are designed around a theme, which is revealed at the start of the jam. There are also diversifiers; optional subthemes, constraints and ideas, to give added challenge to veteran jammers.

The Finnish College Jam was created as an initiative to boost the co-operation of Finnish game development academies, to help students improve their skills and meet new contacts.

For our very first iteration of the Jam, we have students from Business College Helsinki, Sataedu, Stadin AO and Riveria.

The Jam is also streaming during the start and finish of the event, courtesy of BCH, with Christina Lassheikki as the guest speaker!

Schedule?

The Jam will start with a stream at 10:00, where the theme will be revealed.
Once the stream is concluded, the participants can team up and start making their games!

All of the created games will be uploaded here and are publicly available to be played, shared and downloaded.
All uploads must be complete before the final deadline on midnight Thursday at 23:59.
(The deadline was extended to 01:30 due to upload troubles.)

We highly encourage all participants to maintain a healthy lifestyle and schedule throughout the week of jamming for both personal well-being and optimal performance.

On Friday, starting at 10:00 we will host the ending stream, where we will play the created games together and have a good time. Afterwards we will socialize at our Discord server until the ending of the jam at 15:00.

Thank you and let's have a great jam!
