We want you to make a game in 3 days!🎮
2025 has already started a while back, so we thought that maybe we should give "hosting a game jam" another try and so: here we are with the 1st official Pix3l Game Jam. We want to give something back to the community and as we think that game jams are very fun and exciting event, where you can try out your ideas, connect with fellow developers and share your game and progress with others.
And in the end, you might walk away with a prize, but either way with a nice game to either further work on or share with your friends already!
Better together! 🫂🤝
As mentioned before, a game jam is an event where you meet and connect with new like-minded people! But of course you can decide if you want to face the challenge alone or with a few fellow competitors! Teams are allowed and would recommend to anyone who is still somewhat new to game development to look out for some people offering guidance and also looking for teams.
Overall, a game jam is usually just better together! 😎
