To kick off winter quarter, ACM Studio is proud to be hosting its very own Reverse Jam! Reverse Jam is a game jam where you and your team will have 72 hours to build a game from scratch based on a surprise theme. This is a great opportunity to meet new people, pick up some new skills, and compete as a beginner or even create a more polished portfolio piece! 🎮✨

WHAT IS REVERSE JAM? 🏆 🎯

Reverse Jam is a traditional 72 hour game jam with a random theme but there's a little twist... everyone's roles are reversed! For example, if you're a programmer, for this game jam, you would do the art, music, and/or writing and vice versa. It's a great chance to step outside of your comfort zone and acquire / improve on other game dev skillsets!

WHEN/WHERE? ⌛ 🗺️ 

Reverse Jam will begin on January 17 at 7 PM and end on January 20 at 7 PM. ACM Studio will be hosting a kickoff on January 17 at 6:30 PM in the ACM Studio Game Jams server! We will also be hosting Discord text + voice channels for your team to communicate.

WHO AM I COMPETING WITH? 🫂

You can compete with a pre-made team or be placed into a team through ACM Studio! ACM Studio teams will be created on a rolling basis. Please sign up by Wednesday, January 15th at 11:59 PM at the latest in order to have the best chance of being assigned to a complete team before the jam starts 2 days later! Everybody is welcome, regardless of experience level. By participating in this game jam, you'll gain insight into game development and your passion and skillset can snowball from there! Note that due to the nature of the game jam, participants cannot compete solo.

RULES

1.  You must compete in a team of at least two people.

2.  Participants are expected to be contributing in a role they do not traditionally take on.

3.  No using any type of generative AI for game assets! Generative AI is lame!
