A Game Jam is a 24-hour event where participants can collaborate and make games from scratch. For the Tiger Games, participants will be able to collaborate in teams of up to four people and all submissions will compete for prizes.
We would like to thank all of our participants, volunteers, and Tiger Games leadership team for helping us organize such a successful event.
Additionally, we would like to send a giant thank you to Golisano's Dean's Office for funding this event and the Golisano Diversity Initiatives Office for their unconditional support for our program.
We're looking forward to hosting another amazing game jam in the future!
Register for the Tiger Games and challenge yourself to make a game from scratch as a part of a team! If you are new to game development, we will have a Unity workshop taught by an RIT professor if you would like to learn the game engine.
