Ball State University is hosting Global Game Jam Online! Global Game Jam is an annual event where people from all over the world meet up to create original games based on a common theme. Everyone is welcome, and no prior experience is necessary.
This year, to protect everyone's health, the jam is being held completely online. That's right: you can join a global community of game developers without leaving your home, apartment, or dorm room! We will be using tools like Discord and Google Docs to form teams, coordinate effort, and make games.
Our site is open to anyone with a Ball State affiliation, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as anyone who lives in East Central Indiana. For liability reasons, participants must be at least 18 years old.
We will start on FRIDAY, JANUARY 29 at 5PM with a kickoff meeting on Discord. We will watch the keynote presentation, hear the theme announcement, come up with ideas, and form teams. Teams will have until 5PM on SUNDAY, JANUARY 31 to finish and upload their projects. Then, we will have a wrap-up party where we can take a deep breath and enjoy each others' games.
Register today to get access to our Discord server and get ready for the jam!
