Organized by the Vision & Innovation Club, Game Craft is an online game development hackathon inspired by Global Game Jam.
Who are we ?
We are the Vision & Innovation Club; an Algerian scientific English-speaking club operating within the National Polytechnic School of Algiers. Its main purpose is to complete the academic training of students and to help them acquire more experience by being confronted with real-life challenges through its various activities and events spread throughout the academic year.
Game Craft is organized by the scientific department of our club "Spark", which aims to keep students updated when it comes to scientific competitions.
Theme
Each team, with a maximum of 4 members has to craft a game within 5 days and based on a theme which, for this third edition was selected by a majority vote of all the organizing team members :
Game Craft calls on video game enthusiasts to make a fully functional game that offers them an opportunity to discover and learn new skills, develop their sense of teamwork, and also to unleash their creativity to solve real problems in an informative, fun, modern, and competitive environment.
Once the jam is over, there will be a d-day livestream on our YouTube channel where judges will get to play the games and rate your submissions, that will contribute to selecting the winners.
