LAG Jam 2024

Lady Arcaders Game Jam 2024

Lady Arcaders is hosting our very first game development jam, LAG Jam, running from Thursday November 14th to Sunday the 17th!

The theme for this year’s game jam is LAG. Take this concept and do whatever you want with it! Any variation of the word applies. You can take it literally or figuratively.

Event Schedule

The event kicks off officially at 10am EST on Thursday, November 14th! Every day, the Lady Arcaders Twitch channel will provide public updates about the status of everyone's games, starting at 9pm EST. The game development ceases at 8pm EST on Sunday, and the final showcase at 9pm will feature everyone's "finished" games.

Participants are encouraged to keep working on their games after the event officially ends! We’d love to show them off on Attract Mode! Do not feel like you have to sacrifice your well being to finish your game during the event, take plenty of breaks and stay hydrated!

In Preparation for LAG Jam 2024

Lady Arcaders will be hosting a series of workshops leading up to the event itself, in order to give people the skills they need to work on their games during the weekend of the jam. If you’re interested in teaching a workshop for a game/game development adjacent subject (programming, graphics, audio, storytelling, publishing, etc.), please fill out the workshop submission form. You do not need to qualify for the Lady Arcaders private server to teach a workshop!

All teams will meet before the event to establish an outline and brainstorm/workshop ideas for their game, to make it easier to focus on building the game itself during the weekend of the event.

Each team will get their own Discord channel, forum category, and voice chat so that they can discuss their game ahead of time.

What is a Game Jam?

A game jam is an event where a groups of people come together to work on making a game from scratch. All skill levels welcome in graphic design, programming, writing, music composition, and more, or if you're just generally interested in learning!
