Sacramento Developer Collective would like to present our next Game Jam! Now that we've got our monthly Game Jam series, here's our #HarvestJam for this August 2020 to commemorate the beginnings of the harvesting season! 

We’ll be marking this as a ranked Game Jam as winners will be able to submit their game for our upcoming showcase!

This game jam will be running for 48 hours (with time for sleep of course, or no sleep at all) with additional resources being shared through our social media and more! So stay tuned!

Our theme will be announced the day of the jam! ⭐️

Here's a chill music playlist to grow your games to 🌱 😌🌱

Theme: Let's harvest some __!

If you'd like to create teams, come join us in our Discord and we have some Game Jam channels for you to work in :)

Some of the core functionalities of every game has: programming, art, audio, and/or design. Some games don’t need all of them, which is still just as doable, like tabletop games that don’t need code or audio.

After submissions, we’ll be openly voting and browsing through other people’s games throughout the week until the following weekend until results are in!

Never made a game before? Sometimes trying to even start a game is the hardest part! 

A good way to get started is to follow a tutorial in creating the setup and after that, you can add all the other elements to really make it into your own game!
