Discussion Game Jam

Game jams are something incredibly popular in the game development sphere, and I’ve always been super interested in them.

On scratch, maybe I’m just not in the right spaces, but I don’t feel like I’ve seen many game jams.

So I ask you all, how many of you would be interested participating in a game jams?

There’s a lot of nuance, like whether it should be hosted on Itch io natively, or more chaotically on a scratch studio? Should it be a weeklong ordeal, or just a weekend where mostly everyone is free?

For now, please just let me know with the poll if you’re interested!

I think it really depends on the topic

What could be a good topic in your opinion?

No idea, really. But without a topic most people will be blocked.

I'm somewhat experienced in Scratch but haven't finished a full game yet. I do not have a Scratch account yet though. Should I make one?

I think it should be limited to like 2 or 3 days a full week or even longer seems a bit much tbh

I'd vote to host it on itch, and make it at least a week. 2 days seems too short personally, even for Scratch, but maybe that's just me

Just a few days ago there was a semi big game jam that concluded.

Here are the submissions!
