What is a Game Jam?
A game jam is a friendly event where game enthusiasts come together to collaboratively create games within a set time. It's a great opportunity for learning, creative exploration, and meeting fellow enthusiasts. Join us at Louisville Makes Games' Global Game Jam for a weekend of enjoyable collaboration and skill-building!
