AGJam game jam is like other game jams in most ways: make a game in a short period of time with a bunch of other folks. It’s different in that it’s online, free, and all about making games around an audio mechanic. Here’s more from CDM:
“Game jams” are informal hackathons allowing designers and developers to explore new ideas. And historically, it’s sometimes been the ones with sound and music elements that have wound up most interesting. Gaming and electronic music have a natural affinity for one another, it seems – and computer music and electronic games have really grown up and invented ideas alongside one another since the start.
What’s cool about AGJam is, it tackles a range of possible issues around gaming and sound. You can leave with a game, but also with some new skills. And it’s one of those rare activities happening online in a virtual form that’s worth joining – one that could still give you some fodder for that far-off, beautiful day when we’re back to in-person events.
