What is a Game Jam?

The gm(48) game jam is a game development competition, where participants solo or in teams are challenged to create games within a deadline while adhering to a community-voted theme. These constraints are used to help focus your motivation, creativity and game maker skills on creating a playable and maybe your first game from scratch.

The game jam is open to GameMaker Studio 2 developers of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Beginner or expert, young or old, artist or programmer, all are welcome in the gm(48) game jam community.

Participate and level up your GameMaker skills, receive constructive criticism and insights into how others perceive and play your games.

All you have to do is visit the website when the game jam starts for the theme to be revealed, develop your game based on the theme, and submit it via the website.

Participation is free for everyone. To submit your game, you must register an account via → gm48.net/register

While the game development part of the game jam is over a weekend, the entirety of the event is spread over the course of a month.
