Hello,

Jesper on behalf of the LiU Game Jam organizer group here. We hope that you have found some way of surviving the heat and got some time to relax and take it chill.

This summer we are going to host an experimental chill Summer Game Jam. During the jam we are going to experiment with the format. Instead of just having the jam taking place during one weekend it will take place during 3 weekends; one for group forming, second one for half time review and last one for final review. Of course you are free to work as much as you want on the project and can drop in or out as it suits your schedule. We are really curious to see what people can create when they get a little bit more time and are looking forward to the result.

Another piece of news is that we have started to plan for the Fall Game Jam after that. Plan right now is to host the jam at a physical location during the weekend 26th - 28th November. This can of course change depending on the pandemic situation.

See you at the jam!

Summer Game Jam 2021

17:00 10th July - 19:00 25th July
Online at LiU Game Jam Discord
A game jam is an event where programmers, artists and gamers come together and create games; both computer games and board games. We are going to follow the same structure as our physical jams so please be online in time so you can participate in the theme generation, brainstorming and group forming. Only difference is that the salt sticks and pizza will be provided by yourself.
 

How to participate

  1. Make sure you have a working microphone as this will make it easier to brainstorm and jam with the other jammers.
  2. Join the LiU Game Jam Discord server.
  3. Create an itch.io account and join the Summer Game Jam 2021 jam page.

Write game jam history


We have started to collect all games made during our game jams on Itch.io. It is an impressive collection but it is only a fraction of all things we have created together.

Hence we encourage you to upload your old game jam projects to itch.io and send us a link to them. Either via the email button below of ping us on Discord.
Send gamejam@lithekod.se your games!
