JAMuary Starts Soon

JAMuary is a game jam that obviously takes place in January – and you should participate. Dames Making Games is a result of the first run of The Difference Engine which aims to get more women into making games.

Who can participate in JAMuary?

We have space for 10 individuals (or small teams) to participate in the workshops and present their finished product at the end of the month. These spaces will be limited to female game-makers, with a preference for those making their first game, and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

What if I have no coding or game design experience?
You don’t need to have worked on games before to participate in JAMuary. We have a resource package for new game-makers to help you get started.

From the Gamercamp website:

Welcome to the Gamercamp Lv3, packed with three days of goodness, over 40 hours of programming, and more games than you can shake a stick at!

We’re also proud to announce our first keynote speaker: Seth Cooper, lead designer behind the Foldit, a protein-folding game that recently made worldwide news when players helped scientists uncover a key mechanism associated with HIV. Seth will share an inspiring talk on how games solve difficult real-world problems. Games don’t have to change the world, but if they could, why not?
