Hello,

Thea on behalf of the LiU Game Jam organizer group here. We hope that you have had a lovely start of the year and are pumped to join us for Global Game Jamming this Friday!

Due to the pandemic situation we have decided to again host the Jam remotely on our Discord. After arranging a couple of remote events we are certain that we can keep it comfy and fun. I for one, am happy to be given a great opportunity to reunite with our international jam site friends. 

Global Game Jam is the world's largest game jam event and during these days jammers from all across the world will create games from the same secret theme. You can get involved with the whole Global Game Jam community through Global Game Jam's Discord and explore other sites' games on the Global Game Jam website. However, note that other sites have begun before us and joining the Global communities might spoil the reveal of theme for you. 

Looking forward to jamming with you!

Global Game Jam 2022

28th - 30th January
Online via LiU Game Jam Discord
A game jam is an event where programmers, artists and gamers come together and create games; both computer games and board games. We are going to follow the same structure as our physical jams so please be online in time so you can participate in the theme generation, brainstorming and group forming. Only difference is that the salt sticks and pizza will be provided by yourself.
 

How to participate

  1. Make sure you have a working microphone as this will make it easier to brainstorm and jam with the other jammers.
  2. Join the LiU Game Jam Discord server.
  3. Create an itch.io account and join the Global Game Jam Linköping 2022 jam page.
  4. Create a Global Game Jam account and join the LiU Game Jam site on Global Game Jam's website.

We want your jam

We have started to collect all games made during our game jams on Itch.io. It is an impressive collection but it is only a fraction of all things we have created together.

Hence we encourage you to upload your old game jam projects to itch.io and send us a link to them.
Send gamejam@lithekod.se your games!
