The GitHub Game Off, our very own game jam, returns next month! Participants will have the entire month of November to build a game based on a secret theme (to be announced later) and share their creations with the world.
Much like previous years, the use of open source engines, libraries, and tools is encouraged, but not a strict requirement. Unlike previous years, however, we’re removing the restrictions! Previously you could only submit web-based games, but now all games are welcome – all platforms, operating systems, and devices.
The theme for this year’s Game Off will be announced here on the GitHub blog on Nov 1st at 13:37 PDT, so please stay tuned.
We’ve seen some great games submitted in previous years. We can’t wait to see what you come up with this year <3
The official Twitter hashtag for the Game Off is #ggo16.
As part of our ongoing commitment to accelerate human progress through Social Impact initiatives, we’re offering students 30-minute, 1:1 micro-mentoring sessions with GitHub employees ahead of Universe.
Edge computing practitioners answer your questions about when and why to build applications at the edge.
Game Bytes is our monthly series taking a peek at the world of gamedev on GitHub—featuring game engine updates, game jam details, open source games, mods, maps, and more. Game on!
