About Event

Can you turn a basic prototype in something special that a publisher would invest in?

Prove it. You have 2 hours.

For our first hands-on event we are hosting a turbo game jam. You will be given a simple project and your task is to make it yours, by adding mechanics, twists, and game feel that convince an imaginary publisher. The best projects will walk away with prizes sponsored by Sirenix!

Details

You get a blank platformer, 2 hours, and full creative freedom... Art, AI, chaos, vibes: anything goes! Sign up in groups or solo, and everyone from absolute beginner to seasoned game jam veteran is welcome. You will then pitch your project in a one-minute video and let the crowd decide.

Schedule

🕐 13:00–14:00 — Optional Unity crash course and project walkthrough at the SPH Zentrum. You can still return to your lectures after and think about what you'll turn the project into.

🕔 18:00–20:00 — Back to SPH, time to get coding!

🎬 20:00–21:00 — Clip submissions & crowd vote.

Logistics

Please bring your own device with the latest version of Unity installed. If you have not yet installed Unity, please come to the workshop part at 13:00 for guidance!

Thanks to our partner at Sirenix, the winning team will receive full personal licenses for the Odin Inspector and Odin Validator.

⚡️Spots are limited, so sign up now! And again, beginners are more than welcome. Quite often, creativity wins over technical skill.
