Welcome!

Aztec Game Lab is a recognized student organization at San Diego State University. This is our Winter Break game jam! As a new year begins, we would like to encourage our members to participate, work together, and try something new! A theme will be announced at the start of the jam which should be addressed in the design of submissions. Jammers will have six days to complete a game start-to-finish, and another 24 hours for voting.

This will be a hybrid jam. We will meet in-person and remotely over Discord simultaneously for the initial game jam launch event and again at the end for a closing event. The location of our physical meetings will be the Esports Engagement Center (EEC), in the Love Library at SDSU. The EEC will be open until 5 pm on weekdays for those who would like to co-work, and will also provide several computers with relevant development software for those who would like to use them.
