What is a game jam, you might ask? It's just a hackathon dedicated to games specifically, and they're loads of fun! You don't need any experience at all-- even just following a few tutorials, with your own twists, is okay! MelonJam 5 will take place July 18th 4:00 PM PST (July 19th 12:00 AM UTC), and the game jam will end on July 21st 3:59 PM PST (July 21st 11:59 PM UTC) for a total of 72 hours, with a short grace period.
Our core mission is to transform game development from a niche topic into something everything can learn to appreciate. As such, we HIGHLY encourage high schoolers and other novices to join this game jam! We will be offering dedicated prizes for these contestants.
Check out our website for more details!
Our game jam is being hosted on Itch, and we will not accept submissions from Devpost.
Everyone who submits a project will be given access to benefits worth thousands of dollars. We also provide many different prizes to the winners of this game jam, so be sure to sign up!
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask on our Discord server! Otherwise, we cannot wait to see all of the exciting ideas you have to offer! Good luck!
