Hello, everyone! We’ve prepared this short post to guide you before GameJamPlus 24/25. First, a few key points:
- Besides itch.io, GJ+ 24/25 will be using its own platform. You can access the manual by clicking here and register by clicking here.
- GameJamPlus happens across several venues around the world, meaning each location has its own production and execution dynamics. Check with your organizer for the schedule at your location!
- The game jam itself is only the First Stage! GJ+ is a free marathon lasting approximately 8 months, where you create and turn your game into a commercially viable product!
- Considering that GameJamPlus is a global event in its 9th edition, over the years we have developed a set of Rules and Regulations for participants. Please read carefully!
