Game Development Students Association

The GDSoc Annual Game Jam is back! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to create a game in 48 hours!

Ontario Tech University, UL 100

The Annual GDJam is taking place on November 8th – 10th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm in the UL Building (The one where the student union is based!) The extra two hours is to accommodate for first years who end class late on Friday! We have your back first years!A Game Jam is a 48-hour hackathon, where you form a team, obtain a theme, and go! You’ll get the theme the day of, and everyone will make a game based on their interpretation of the theme!Remember that Game Jams are about learning first and foremost, we encourage people to join regardless of their skill level, because the best way to learn is to do!Team sizes are up to you, and the members of your team are also up to you. We highly suggest coming without a team and forming one at the jam, you get to meet cool people this way, and multi-year teams are a great way to connect with upper-year and lower-year students!And yes, there will be free food.

Jam Rules:Being in community during the game jam creates an incredible environment where you can get help from your own team members and other jammers! In the spirit of a traditional game jam, we&#x27;re asking people to stay in our specified room for the majority of the jam. This means that we&#x27;d love to see you with us for the duration of both days during the weekend, but we understand that some of you live far away. Talk to us if you have any questions! As a general rule of thumb, try to be with us from 9 - 5 each day!Additional Info: As always, the theme will be announced at the start of the event itself. There will be free food, so stick around!The jam takes place in UL 100 (The OTSU Building), next to the library. We have access to other boardrooms and meeting rooms inside of that building, too, so there is a lot of spaceAlso, we encourage you to go home, sleep and take care of yourselves! Your #1 priority during this weekend should be you! Game Jams are supposed to be fun, and you can&#x27;t have fun if you&#x27;re not healthy!Special thanks goes to Game Programming Club for helping us fund this event! There wouldn&#x27;t be food without them!
