What is our game jam about? It’s a 9 day long on site game jam camp for female identifying game developers hosted in Belgium. We want to make connections, sit around the campfire and build some cool games! The goal is to experience the game industry in a different light and rekindle the passion that brought us here in the first place. It doesn’t matter if you’re sociable or shy, if you’re excited about making games you’re in the right spot! To be able to include everyone we are providing lodging, catering and if needed hardware, all you need to do is arrange transportation to the campsite. Applications to participate end April 3rd.
