We at Chalmers University and Gothenburg University in Lindholmen, present you with this Holiday Season Game Jam. In this game jam you get to make a game based on a certain theme in just a few days! After submitting your game there will be a panel of judges who will rate and vote on the games.

Game jams are a fun way to challenge yourself, meet other devs and talk about your games and their progress. And of course the best part is that in the end you will have made and finished a game that you can share with friends, family and your fellow developers.

Are you new to game dev and don't think you can finish a game in such a short amount of time? Well give it a shot anyway,  it's worth a try and you'll probably learn a lot!

Join our  discord server for any notifications about the jam and to meet other participants and hype yourself up before the event!

Please note there are no limits to the type of game you can create for the jam, as long as it fits the theme! Some examples could be computer games, vr games, ar games, boardgames, cardgames, an interactive experience, interactive stories etc.

Also note that this is a fully online Jam! To participate in the jam please create or log in to your account here on itch.io and sign up for the jam. Join our discord server for updates!

Everyone is welcome to the game jam!

Online!

Do note for submissions, if you've submitted your game, do not delete it, if you delete your game you are out of luck. Making changes after the deadline is not possible. Make sure your game is uploaded to itch.io if you want to participate.  For physical-based games, pictures of the boardgame (or other) with the rules uploaded to an itch page will be sufficient. Please do remember to upload to the itch submission before the deadline! Otherwise, you cannot get any votes on your game! If you can please use tools like Tabletopia for boardgames!

Winners of each category will receive a special note at the top of this game jam page, and be given special tags in our discord server! 

The overall winners will receive a 1000 sek gift card to Science Fiction Bokhandeln, sfbok.se!

The games will be rated into 5 categories: Game Design, Fun, Theme, Sound and Graphics.  This is a short variety of game dev aspects, so don't worry if you can't hit all of them perfectly! Try to be creative and stick to the theme though!

After the submission period is over, the panel of judges will rate and vote on the games. The judges have 24 hours to vote!

As always we wish all of you the best of luck with your games and most importantly; make sure to have fun! :D
