It's that time of year again! And not even a global pandemic can keep students, graduates and friends of the FH Oberösterreich Campus Hagenberg from making games! The Hagenberg Game Jam 2020 will start this evening at 6pm. Participants will then have 48 hours to develop a game based on this year's theme, which will be officially announced today at 5:30pm.

Due to Covid19, this year's game jam will not be held in the university's computer labs, but will be distributed amongst the homes and residences of our participants. Seven teams with a total of 26 creative artists and developers will be busy all weekend building games for everyone to play during the holiday break. The games will be available online at https://hagenberg-gamejam.at/

Stay tuned for frequent updates and feel free to join us during the online kickoff event!
