WE Create Android Game Jam
Calling all Android developers for the WE CREATE ANDROID GAME JAM!
In collaboration with the Global Game Jam, International Game Developers Association (IGDA), and IGDA Foundation, and in partnership with Google Play, we are thrilled to share an exciting opportunity for game developers in Asia and Latin America – WE CREATE ANDROID GAME JAM.
This game jam initiative celebrates innovation, creativity, and empowerment of women within the Asia and Latin Americas regions. We invite all eligible participants to create or join teams that will craft exceptional Android game prototypes inspired by the selected theme (to be revealed on November 16th).
Teams will have the chance to enhance their Android game development skills, meet and collaborate with other game creators, connect with games industry mentors, and potentially win prizes ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 for your team’s game following judging by a panel of industry experts.
