Upcoming online
game jams
11–23 June
JamCraft 3
A jam dedicated exclusively to crafting –
forging items, making potions, that sort of
thing. Games can be made in any genre, as
long as they fit the making-things theme.
wfmag.cc/jamcraft3 1 July – 31 August
Summer RPG Game Jam
Can you create an absorbing role-playing
game in just a few short weeks? Entrants can
be solo developers or members of a team.
wfmag.cc/summer-jam 5–8 July
Geta Game Jam 8
Entrants can suggest their own theme for
this jam, which takes place over three days –
though if you want to take on the ‘hardmode
challenge’, you’ll have 48 hours to create your
winning entry.
wfmag.cc/geta-jam 24 June – 1 July
VR Jam 2019
As its name implies, this is a game jam
focusing on virtual reality, with entrants
tasked with making a game for a headset of
their choice in one week.
wfmag.cc/vr-jam 22 June – 13 July
The Collect-A-Friend Game Jam
This jam’s theme is based on the party-
building mechanic commonly seen in
such RPGs as Dragon Quest and Pokémon.
wfmag.cc/collect-a-friend 21 June – 8 July
June/July Jackpot Jam
A game jam with a cash prize: create an
experience that impresses the judges,
and you could walk away with up to
$300 to spend on cakes or biscuits.
wfmag.cc/jackpot-jam 1–22 July
DevSquad Summer Jam
A “relaxed competition”, this jam is as much
about building teams as the end product,
though there will be prizes for winners.
wfmag.cc/devsquad 30 June – 14 July
Watch + Jam 2
Like the game jam above, Watch + Jam is
more about watching, learning, and enjoying
the development process than creating a
polished masterpiece.
