Samurai Game Jam is a two week game jam open to anyone, the aim of the jam is to create a game either individually or as a team which contains samurai in some capacity. The game can be any genre, either a video game or a physical game (TTRPG, print and play, ect) and for any platform (though it is suggested that the game can run natively in Windows so it can be presented properly on the showcase stream). If you want to learn more about the samurai you can here.
