local game jams

Local game jams are collaborative events where groups of people—such as game developers, designers, artists, and students—come together in a specific location for a set period, usually over a weekend or few days. Participants work intensively to create a complete or prototype game from scratch, often around a specific theme or idea. These events foster creativity, learning, and networking, providing a supportive environment to experiment, share skills, and quickly produce innovative game concepts without the pressure of commercial deadlines. They are a valuable way to build community and improve game development skills.
