Forsbergs Game Jam is a full-on two-day workshop where we create games and test our creativity. The workshop is open to everyone, from professionals to those who have never made a game before. Our lecturers will be available to help you with your first game, but you’ll also get the chance to meet other game fanatics. exchange ideas, develop concepts and try out new tools and methods. You can either work on your project or join a group and contribute with your input.

Preparations

Forsbergs Game Jam is technology neutral in terms of software/hardware. You bring the tools and materials you want to use.

If you want to create digital games, please bring a laptop. It is also a good idea to familiarize yourself a little with some of the software that can be used in game development prior to the Jam. After receiving your application we will send you an email with some suggestions on software (more often than not there are cost-free versions).

There is also workstations in limited amounts available. If you are unable to bring hardware, feel free to reach out to info@forsbergsskola.se to request hardware support for the game jam.

Please feel free to also create non-digital games such as board games, card games or other ”pen and paper” games.
