Schedule of the 10th Alakajam! 0 6
Wan
The next edition of the Alakajam! event will start on September 18th.
During that week-end, the goal is to making a game, in a weekend. Teams or solo devs, beginners and professionals are all welcome to participate! There are two ways to approach the event:
- Enter the competitive jam (Solo/Team division) and make your game from nothing, to be ranked against every other contestant.
- If you prefer a more relaxed setting, maybe even want to work on your current long-term project, the Unranked division will give you an opportunity to get plays and comments, while discarding the restrictive rules.
