The G-bits Game Jam, held by G-bits & Leiting Games, is a game development competition open to college students worldwide that aims to inspire and support the next generation of game developers, providing experienced mentors, investment funds, early access to unreleased games, and the opportunity to publish their own games. The contest serves as a showcase for them to share their work and express their ideas, while also seeking to nurture talents for the game industry and incubate innovative projects. For the last five years, the contest has bore witness to the remarkable achievements of the thousands of college students that have come to compete. There have been some who have made their first games here, some who have amassed over 300,000 pre-registrations, and yet more who have set up their own gaming studios. Join us now to get your game development journey off to a great start!
