It's game jam time again. We have a new theme and including not one but two open source game engines you can use to create your killer game in 48 hours.
This game jam has a required theme. This time, it's Delta Lake, an open-source storage framework that enables building a Lakehouse architecture with compute engines including Spark, PrestoDB, Flink, Trino, and Hive and APIs for Scala, Java, Rust, Ruby, and Python.
For this game jam, you can choose to use either GDevelop or Phaser. Both are amazing open-source game engines and have phenomenal communities!
This time, we are doing Winner Takes All. The winner will receive a $500 Visa gift card and showcased at a booth at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) in Pasadena, CA on March 9 - 12, 2023.
That's right Sparky, there are some rules you have to follow:
- You are required to follow the game jam theme.
