Questions about the Summer Game Jam
All students over the age of 18 are welcomed to attend! All participants must follow the GGJ Code of Conduct.
Unfortunately, our venue only has enough space and we only have enough food to accommodate 200 people for UCR (Southern California site) and 100 people for UCSC (Northern California site). The earlier you register, the more likely you will be accepted, so sign up now!
Please bring your student IDs in order to check in and any hardware or software you need to develop your game. Because this is an overnight event, consider bringing a pillow, sleeping bag, and anything else you need to make your stay comfortable.
UCR: Food and snacks will be provided during the event.
UCSC: Only snacks will be provided during the event.
UCSC: Only snacks will be provided during the event.
Unfortunately, we do not support any form of travel reimbursements. Rest-assured, we are working hard on the quality of the event to make sure all attendees have a meaningful and great experience!
You aren’t required to form a team prior to the event. However, we do want everyone to be on a team to work on an awesome game together during the game jam! We will have a social in the beginning of the event to help you get into a team if you don’t have one already.
No worries! We will have workshops at the start of the event for beginner jammers. Also, whether you need help on programming, art, music, or design, SGDA will have experienced student and professional mentors to guide you in the right direction. The Global Game Jam is a friendly, networking environment and a great way to gain more experience not only on game development, but also working in a team!
