Baby's First Game Jam

We welcome you to spend a game jam weekend together with Tarina, SYNTAKSI, SOURCE and VETO-kerho from 27th to 29th November! 👾🎮 The event is only for the members of Tarina, SYNTAKSI, SOURCE and VETO-kerho. But what is this jamming all about? Game jam is an event where participants make teams and create a game demo during a certain span of time, usually during a weekend. The jam has a certain theme that is given at the start of the event, and that has to be visible somehow in the final demo. In a team you would divide roles of programming, art, audio etc. up to your liking. At the end we'll come together to admire what every team has created, and there are also awards. The most important thing, however, is to have fun and make new friends rather than make a polished game. As the name Baby’s First Game Jam already hints, the jam targets beginner developers, but more experienced developers are welcome as well, of course. Passion for video games and game development is enough by itself. You can find yourself a team already before the event takes place, or build one as the event begins, so join up even if you don't have a crew yet! The place for the jam takes place at TAMK main campus, at Kuntokatu 3, C3-floor at the Game Studio. You can access the floor with the student access card. There is a small kitchen lounge that you can use. We recommend bringing your own computer because there is a very limited number of computers at the floor which also require seperate WPK login credentials. You can also jam from home too of course. The jam also has their own Discord server for announcements, discussion and forming groups, that you can join by giving your Discord username in the form. Time & Schedule: We start on Friday at 18:00 by revealing the game theme, forming the groups and starting the planning for the game ideas. Participants must leave by 21:00. The jamming continues on Saturday at 9:00-19:00. Sunday also starts at 9:00, and we start reviewing and awarding the game demos at 15:00. The deadline for the submission of the demo is by Sunday 14:00. WHAT: Game jam weekend WHERE: TAMK main campus, Kuntokatu 3, C3rd floor, Game Studio WHEN: 27.-29.11.2026, Starting at 18:00!
