episode 5: #5 – Game Jam
A game jam is an event where the participants try and make a game from scratch, finish it, and then release it in a single weekend.
In this episode, you will hear both the ups and downs of making a small game in a very short amount of time and things to think about if you are curious to join a game jam or host your own event, and most importantly: why you should join a game jam!
