Do you know how to code, you do graphics, make music, would you be able to come up with your own computer game? Then why wait, get a team together and try to make one in a weekend. The theme to work on will be announced at the beginning!
Bratislava Game Jam is a contest of coders, screenwriters, graphic designers, philosophers and illustrators whose task is to make a video game prototype in one weekend.
