The third edition of Steelworks Game Jam is about to begin! Between October 25th and 27th, we will meet again at the Nowa Huta Cultural Center to create, play, and have fun together during the last weekend before the spookiest holiday of the year, Halloween!
A game jam is an event where participants, grouped into teams, will test their skills in creating games within 48 hours.
The event is open to everyone, regardless of experience level – from professionals to beginners passionate about game design.
It’s a great opportunity to meet people from the industry, share knowledge, and acquire new skills. The most interesting projects will be rewarded at the end of the event!
The event is jointly organized by the Nowa Huta Cultural Center and the Indie Games Starter accelerator.
The goal of Indie Games Starter is to support small, ambitious game development teams on their path to success through mentoring, marketing, assistance in publishing, and porting games.
We invite everyone, from enthusiasts to professionals. Minors must have written consent from a guardian. Join the jam, create the game of your dreams, and win amazing prizes!
