The 32BitJam community is a group of developers, composers, and artists that have a common love for games inspired by late 90s aesthetics. This jam is for any project that looks like it belongs in the PS1 era. It's the perfect opportunity for developers and artists interested in 3D to have their first stab at it, as simple 3D visuals are part of the aesthetic. Full 3D, 3D mixed with 2D, Full 2D submissions are ALL allowed, as long as they feel like they belong in the same graphical era.
Join our Discord Server to team up, or just to chat and share your work!
