It’s THE collaborative Game Dev Event that
works closely with the Space Industry held annually in Florida
Indie·Galactic·Space·Jam
noun
1. an event in which individuals come together in a physical environment and attempt to rapidly prototype a game (video or otherwise) focused on some element of space in a limited amount of time; a “space-y” game jam: She was on the team that made that awesome game I love at the Indie Galactic Space Jam!
This will be the 7th ever Indie Galactic Space Jam, and we’re excited to bring this event back after a year hiatus due to Covid-19. This year, we’re back with fun challenges to create space focused video games, and a great opportunity to connect with an amazing crop of talent, mentors & leaders from both the Space and Video Game industry. This is your chance to build something extraordinary with talented peers from all over Central Florida. Become part of a team or stay a lone (space) wolf charting a course to fun and excitement.
Everyone is welcome to participate throughout the 48-hour Jam. We’re looking for artists, programmers, game designers, UI & UX designers, sound designers, writers, poets, interpretive dancers, people excited about games, people excited about space, people who like to eat pizza, and people like you. Register today and get ready to jam!
Get ready for an action packed 48 Hours but before that are several events throughout the month!
We have a variety of events as part of the Indie Galactic Space Jam festivities.
The night you chart a course for fun & excitement. Have an idea? Pitch it. Heard an awesome idea? Join a team.
