Also known as "Tavern Jam", "Tavern Game Jam"

These are seasonal game jams focused on a casual and beginner friendly environment that our community, “The Artists Tavern” take part in.

Our main goal here is to give you a space to try out game jams, or experiment with new ideas!

You will have full support from our community, helping you learn the basics if you have never done a game jam, or if you want a space to create something fun without the stress of full-on competition.

Theme: Will be released on the day, click the link to save the annoucemnet video when it releases!

Optional Palette: If you struggle with colour or not sure where to start. Use this chosen Palette from Grafxkid called ARACDE-STANDARD-29
