Jonas Tyroller | 35 Quick Game Jam Tips! @JonasTyroller | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
I want to share 35 game jam tips with you that will help you to succeed in your next jam.
What is a game jam?
How does it work?
How do you make a good game jam game?
Do you need to prepare anything?
These are all questions I'd like to answer. In general game jams are a great way to grow as a developer.
Joining an online jam is very easy, because they're happening all the time. You can find one on itch.io or you can join on of the more popular ones like Ludum Dare.
I'll be hosting a game jam very soon as well. Check it out:
