Welcome to APU's 4th Annual Global Game Jam!
We're excited to have you join us for our fourth GGJ event. Here are some highlights from our first year:
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
This is an all-access event, geared towards attendees of all levels!
Equipment needed:
Since this is an online event, you will need to have a computer and software (dependent on the team and project). Typically, games are created using Unity, Unreal Engine, GB Studio, GameMaker Studio, Godot, etc. You may also use online solutions such as Twine, Bitsy, and PuzzleScript. Be sure to check out the system specs for those game engines to make sure you have an adequate computer.
Tabletop games are also allowed, so if you'd rather work with a team to create a board/card/dice/etc. game, feel free!
