Hey all! My students this quarter are really going deep and I was thinking it would be fun to have them participate in a GameJam. Are there any other teachers lurking on here who might be interested in joining in? Just trying to gauge interest before going too far down this path…

I think it would be a amazing idea to pit your students together in a game competition to test their skills

I know the Mini Game Jam #14 - Halloween Jam! is still going on, if no other teachers reply!
One of the Best Game Jams here on the Forums was the Cursed Game Jam
It can be taken literally where your player is cursed with something
Or it can be taken Figuratively Where Some mechanic actively harms the gameplay loop like messing with your controls
Another couple good ideas are; MultiPlayer Jam, board game jam, and the safe bet Halloween Jam
The coolest one has to be the Hacking Jam
having the player be able to change the world around them or even the rules of the game.
its a very open concept thus making it great for a Game jam
none of these ideas are original they are some of the mini game jams done here on the forum.
