SUMMARY:GLOBAL GAME JAM KICKOFF
DESCRIPTION:📍 Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210) & Online💻👥 Hybrid💲 Free \n\n\n\nKick off Global Game Jam with us at Hackforge HQ or online via Discord and get ready for an exciting week of creativity\, collaboration\, and game development! This opening event sets the tone for the jam and gives you everything you need to dive in with confidence\, whether you’re a first-time jammer or a seasoned pro. \n\n\n\nWe’ll get the engines running by watching the official Global Game Jam keynote together. During this keynote\, the theme will be revealed! There will be time afterwards to discuss the theme and iron out any nerves. Got questions? Bring them with you! This isn’t our first rodeo and there will likely be many Game Jam vets present to help us answer any questions that are burning in your brain\, making sure everyone’s confident moving forward. Next\, we’ll focus on team formation. Participants can pitch ideas\, share skills\, and connect with others\, and organizers will be on hand to help set teams and make sure no one is left out. Whether you come with a plan or are looking for collaborators\, this is where teams come together. \n\n\n\nBefore kicking off development\, we’ll wrap up with an important AI policy announcement\, outlining what is and isn’t permitted during the jam. Once that’s covered\, it’s time to get in the jam and start creating. \n\n\n\nHackforge welcomes folks from anywhere who are interested in creating any kind of game. Design and develop as part of a team or a solo jammer – whatever you prefer! All ages are welcome to participate\, but anyone under 17 must be on a team with a parent or guardian.Throughout the week of the Jam\, there will be opportunities for hybrid and virtual open work hours with your team. We’ll cap off the week with a Closing Party to put on final touches\, submit your game\, then show it off! \n\n\n\nOpen to all\, not just participants! \n\n\n\n📆 Jan 26\, 2026🕦6PM-8PM📍Online via Discord🎟️Register for Global Game Jam at globalgamejam.org \n\n\n\nCome for the knowledge\, stay for the community\, and get ready to make something incredible! 🎨👾
