Game Jams – How To Go From Nothing To A Full Game In 48 Hours
2026-05-17 , BOOL
Language: English

Creating a whole video game seems difficult, doing it in 48 hours or less appears almost impossible, but it might actually be the best way to dive into the beautiful world of video game making.
This talk will show you what to expect of a game jam and hand you the tools you need for your first foray into game making.
The slides for the presentation can be found here https://github.com/LammerD/tdf-game-jam-presentation


Some of the questions I will try to answer in this talk are:
- What is a game jam and where can I find one?
- What do I need to participate in a game jam?
- Where can I find the things I cannot make myself?
- What pitfalls are there and how to prevent falling into them?
