Game Jam 192 from Indie Game Squad!
For our first (reasonably) large event we’re going straight in with a game jam!
Now, unfortunately, for this first jam it’s going to need to be remote as affordable premises that can stay open for 52 hours and has all the facilities needed to house a load of game nerds is pricey, and we wanted a game jam as close to March as we could (for sentimental reasons) so this is how it goes.
The first Game Jam from Indie Game Squad!
Game Jam 192 will be held over an 8 day period (or 192 hours, see, see what I did…) starting at 12 noon (GMT) on Friday the 17th of April and closing on Saturday the 25th April with all entries needing to be submitted by 12 noon (GMT).
Once submissions have closed you will have until 12 noon on Sunday the 26th of April to play and vote on all of the other entries.*
Entries will remain hidden until the deadline at 12 noon on the 25th.
Your entry will be judged by other entrants on game play, originality, ‘does it fit the theme’, sounds / music and art assets.
What does the winning team get? Well, they get bragging rights of course! And maybe some sort of trophy… we’ll see. AND A TROPHY!
The Rules
- You may only make your game within the time frame, updates are allowed after the game has been submitted up until the deadline.
- No harassment of any kind.
- Keep game content clean. No nsfw content, offensive content, excessive gore/violence.
- We’d prefer you make all assets during the jam. If you do have to use assets from outside of the jam just let us know when you submit your entry.
- Read the rules. Not reading the rules is not an excuse for breaking them.
- Have fun
Any games that do not follow these rules may be removed from the jam.
Get Social
I’ll be streaming the entries on Twitch after submission and play testing them all. So you can find the stream at twitch.tv/stikkzmedia when the time comes.

The Theme
The theme of the jam is being chosen by Phil Harris and is… to be announced on the day of the jam, so make sure you’re here at 12 noon (GMT) on 17th April
“When we were young”
Get jamming and good luck!
*We were going to be holding a physical gaming playground locally so that as well as allowing jammers to play each others games the public could also have a go and vote on THE PEOPLES CHOICE award, but due to current circumstances this has been delayed and will happen at a later date, so keep an eye on the website for updates.
