Welcome to the Work in Progress Jam! 🎮

What is this Jam About?

The Work In Progress Jam! is all about sharing, improving, and growing your game development skills. Whether you’re showcasing a past project, working on something in progress, or creating a brand-new idea from scratch, this jam provides a space for you to get constructive feedback from fellow developers. It's the perfect opportunity to refine your work, learn from others, and see your project from fresh perspectives.

How It Works

• Showcase Past Projects: Share your completed or near-complete games that you’ve worked on in the past. Let others explore your work and give you valuable feedback to take your game to the next level.
• Current Projects: Working on something new? This is your chance to share the progress and get input to improve it before it’s finished.
• Create Something New: If you’re feeling inspired, start a brand-new game and get feedback from day one of your development process.

No matter where you are in your development journey, we encourage you to take part, learn, and share your knowledge with the community. Everyone’s feedback is valuable!

Rules

• Engine: You are free to use any game engine or development tools you prefer for your project.
• Submission Types: You can submit anything related to a game – whether it’s a playable build, a prototype, a design document, or even concept art. It’s all about sharing your work and getting feedback.
• Ranking: This is a ranked jam, but it’s designed more informally for you to get a sense of how your project is progressing. The ranking is based on a friendly grading of the criteria , but it’s all about learning and improving!
• Feedback: Take the time to provide feedback to other participants. This jam is built around community interaction, so give thoughtful feedback, and others will do the same for you.
