Azerbaijan is once again joining one of the world’s largest game development hackathons!

This year, GameJamPlus will also take place in Azerbaijan on October 16–18, jointly organized by Gamepons and IGDA Azerbaijan, with the support of INNOLAND.

What is GameJamPlus?

GameJamPlus is an international game development program that brings together game developers from more than 50 countries around the world. During the first stage, participants have 48 hours to create a game prototype based on a given theme. Selected projects then go through several stages — including incubation, regional stages, acceleration, and the Global Final — giving teams the opportunity to further develop their projects.

GameJamPlus consists of several stages: a 48-hour Game Jam, Incubation, Continental Semifinals, Acceleration, and the Global Final. Throughout these stages, participants improve their games, work on their project presentations, and get the opportunity to present their projects before an international jury. At the end of the program, selected projects come together at the Global Final stage.

Registration is conducted through the official GameJamPlus website. To register and learn more about the program: www.gamejamplus.com

Spots are limited. Form your team, register, and create your own game!
