My First Jam 2020

Seven hours to learn a tool, build a game and get to know your fellow students and faculty. That is what My First Jam is about. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we had to go entirely online this time, but that did not stop the fun!

The jam ran yesterday and was organized over at Itch.io. Despite working through a pandemic, 13 games were delivered!

The winners of the game jam are:

Most Fun: Bob Blobinson’s Epic Quest for the Holy Furnitures

Best Interpretation of Theme: Journey to Jimaas

Best execution: The tale of the Ghost Mail Man

You can play all the games over on the Itch.io page!
