Game Jam

A Game Jam is a collaborative event where individuals or teams gather, often over a short period (like 48 hours), to design, develop, and produce a playable video game from scratch. Participants range from programmers and artists to designers, working creatively to quickly bring ideas to life. The focus is on innovation, experimentation, and learning rather than polish or commercial viability. Game Jams foster community, skill development, and rapid prototyping, often culminating in showcasing the games to an audience or for feedback. They are popular in the game development industry and among hobbyists to push creative boundaries.
