About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

We'll begin by kicking off GGJ with a theme reveal, and then we can collectively brainstorm around the theme. See the GGJ page and sign up officially on it here. We'll be operating hybrid, so join the discord even if you can't make this or the Saturday event!

Then there'll be a brief primer on how Downpour works, a simple game engine that's easy to get started with. Everyone can then spend the rest of the time making a simple game of their own. If you want to prepare you can have some pictures ready on your phone and download Downpour here:
