The Wakefield Digital Game Jam is to celebrate the end of the year with us at Wakefield, with everyone studying our courses having the chance to showcase what they have learned by applying that knowledge in creation of a game. 

The theme for this jam is... "Mundane Fantasy".

Fantasy is not just your classic take on the adventure and meet the orcs and elves on your journey.  So be creative and think outside of the box. There is no stupid ideas, only ones that in no shape or form resemble the theme.

1. You must follow and incorporate the given theme in your project.

This is what a game jam is. An opportunity to test yourself in a challenge of creation of a game in a limited amount of time and one that revolves around a theme that you do not get to choose. It will allow you to think creatively, come up with unusual concepts and prototype and create a demo for something that might possibly in the future become a commercial title if you choose to go further with it.

2. You can work independently or in a team of up to 4 people.

This is it, now is your chance to form into groups and create something that you can all contribute towards by applying your skills in the field you can shine in, and let the others do the rest. This is a phenomenal chance to get more experience in what it is like to work in a team, collaborate with others and how to communicate with each other to end up with some results by the end of it.

If you however decide that you do not want to team up with anyone, that is complete fine with us. You are still allowed to participate in the jam, and create the best possible project in the given timeframe on your own.
