Every year, GAMERella provides a supportive and fun environment for first-time game makers, with workshops, team making sessions, industry mentors, all for free! This November, we’ve adapted to tough times, so jammers worldwide can participate and create from their own home.

Many people still feel intimidated by the gaming scene and find it difficult to participate in events like game jams. In 2013, GAMERella was conceived at Concordia University to welcome people who are often marginalized in game-related spaces. We believe that GAMERella is a place to improve skills, try risky and unconventional game design ideas, make friends and industry contacts, and above all, have fun.

THEME?

"NORMAL" (with quotation marks!): free to interpret it in any way you want. The theme is there to inspire you and not to restrict in any way! 

FREE WORKSHOPS?

The organizers of GAMERella wish to help any doubtful participants discover their hidden game-making talents. As a result, TAG, has created five workshops involving the use of free or almost-free software, to be held online in preparation for the event. The material in these workshops cover game making, audio and visual art.

Dates, sign-up and more info coming available at tag.hexagram.ca/gamerella/
