Fall Game Jam 2023
17-19 November
While you're waiting, come hang out in our Discord server!
Get ready for this year's edition of Fall Game Jam! Join us and build kickass games together during a weekend. Once again IN REAL LIFE!
Workshop
Are you interested in game development, but it seems way too big, difficult or advanced? Do not be afraid! Our game jam workshop is open to everyone, regardless of experience, and will teach you what you need to know to create your own game during our game jam.
The workshop is held twice, 9th and 14th November starting at 17:30 and is expected to last approximately 2 hours. We will go through art, game design and how to make a first game in the Godot game engine.
Location
The game jam will take place on site at Spektrum, Ebbepark in Linköping, Sweden. The location has Wi-Fi but no physical network outlets.
How to participate
In order to participate in the jam, show up at Spektrum at (or a bit before) 18:00 17th November. Bring the equipment you need in order to create games: laptop and peripherals, or physical game components.
Also, optionally:
- Join the itch.io jam page where we would like for you to upload the resulting game too, so it is more accesible and can be added to our game archive: Itch.io Archive
- Join our Discord to get announcements during the jam: Discord invite
- Join the Facebook event
This helps us approximate the number of attending jammers for better planning.

Theme
The themes are generated at the start of the jam by taking random pairs of words submitted by participants. They will be added at the top of this page after the start of the jam.
Theme word rules:
- Should only be one English word.
- Should not be a game genre (e.g. FPS, RTS).
- Keep it safe for work.
Our theme process ensures unique and challenging themes each jam. The themes are there for inspiration during brainstorming but you can pick something else as well.
