The BCSS Game Jam is back for a second year!
We've joined forces with 5 other societies to make this event possible and as awesome as it can be.
Get together in groups of 4 to build your very own game over a 48-hour period and win prizes!
You'll build your projects to a mystery theme that we'll reveal at the Launch event. The Launch event will be Friday 21st November at 17:15 in 1W 2.101 - the theme will be revealed here after the event. Do come along even if you don't have a team yet as we'll have team finding activities!
The official duration of the competition will be from Friday 21st November 18:00 to Sunday 23rd November 18:00 which will be our submission deadline.
Requirements
The projects must comply with the mystery theme, which will be revealed at the kick-off event.
You also must target one or more tracks. You don't need to explicitly declare which track(s) you're targeting, and you can target more than one if you'd like. Your project will automatically be considered for all tracks that seem eligible.
Your game doesn't need to have any code associated. If it does have code, we'll need you to submit a GitHub/GitLab repository. Please ask our committee if you need help. In any case, you'll need to submit a ~1-3 minute video demonstrating your game.
