Game development in fast motion: InnoGames invites to IGJAM #14
Just under a year after IGJAM #13, it's that time again: The 14th InnoGames Game Jam will take place from October 6 - 8, 2023. Games enthusiasts of all experience levels are once again cordially invited to develop video games together.
At the 14th edition of the popular game development event, aspiring and professional programmers, graphic artists, game and sound designers can once again give free rein to their creativity. During a single weekend in October, they will go through a game development process that usually takes months or even years. Accordingly, they can expect little sleep. To ensure that those who join the event in person can nevertheless deliver top creative performance, InnoGames will provide food and drinks. Those who shy away from the trip to Hamburg-Hammerbrook can instead participate online, either in whole or in part. Registration for the event is now open. Participation is, as always, free of charge.
At IGJAM #14, the main thing is to have fun! Jammers, for whom the idea of competition is in the foreground, will also get their money's worth, though: After the end of the jam, all participants will have the opportunity to play and evaluate all games developed. The winners will then be announced promptly on the IGJAM website www.igjam.eu and via InnoGames' social media channels. The rights to the further exploitation of all games developed during the Jam remain with the respective teams.
"After a long pandemic break, we were finally able to host our own game jam again last year with IGJAM #13 - and were immediately on fire again for this beautiful InnoGames tradition. We are excited to see what the jammers will surprise us with at IGJAM #14," commented Hendrik Rakemann, Software Developer and Game Jam Project Lead.
