 is back and this is the right excuse to gather our community, start the year with a lot of creative energy and introduce the studio selected for SickProd 2025! 
On Friday 24th the kick-off will be a Colliders meet-up with a few updates and presentations, and soon after we will start jamming!

Our location (GrensFrequentie) will be open over 3 days for the jammers to work, meet and learn from each other. The trash arcades will be there for participants to play and challenge each other. 





PROGRAM :
We will start on Friday after Colliders with the theme reveal. Saturday morning we host a few workshops to learn how to use different game engines. Saturday afternoon we work in teams. Saturday evening we have a first test session with the groups that want feedback. Sunday is the day to finalise all projects. Public presentations are hosted at 16:00!

You can already sign up in the Discord channel, to meet other jammers and find a team if you come solo : 

A game jam is similar to a hackathon, where people come together for a short period of time to create games around a central theme revealed at the start of the jam. The structure of The GGJ is usually that everyone gathers on Friday late afternoon, watches a short video keynote with advice from leading game developers, and then a secret theme is announced. All jammers worldwide are then challenged to make games based on that same theme, with games to be completed by Sunday afternoon.
