The 7th Klagenfurt Winter Game Jam is open to everyone who likes games and wants to create, test, and talk about games. Starting on Friday, the topic will be revealed to all participants at the same time. Then, after the ideas are pitched, the team will be built around ideas, and games are to be created. Finally, on Sunday, the projects are presented and can be played and tested. There is also a user voting to honor the best games in various categories where everybody can vote - so bring your friends and family ;) The game jam is not restricted to game designers or programmers but is open to everyone who wants to build games. Each team is in desperate need of visual artists, audio artisans, animation experts, web page writers, storytellers, testers, etc.
We have decided to go partly digital with our game jam. You will be able to fully participate from online, but join in person for the 100% klujam experience. You are very welcome!
We'll provide a live stream for the topic announcement and the project pitching as well as for the presentation of games. Throughout the game jam we'll stream & code at the same time and we invite all of you to do the same! Using the Discord server we can stay in contact and have our coffee talks or the first morning beer together ☕ We also have dedicated jam rooms to stay at the University of Klagenfurt for jamming! If you chose to join in person, please fill out this form.
We encourage heavy use of our digital communication channels including our
