Game Off 2022 Returns for a Full Month of Game Building

Game Off is back for its 10th edition, kicking off November 1. Unlike typical weekend-long jams, this annual game-building hackathon runs for the entire month, giving participants 30 days to create a game. Whether you’re picking up a new programming language, testing an unfamiliar engine, or diving into your very first game, the extended timeline offers a low-pressure chance to experiment.

Solo developers and teams of any size are welcome, using whatever tools, languages, libraries, or assets they prefer. The theme stays undisclosed until November 1 at 13:37 PT, and past themes have been intentionally broad, so there’s a wide range of creative freedom.

Theme
Game Off I Forking, branching, cloning, pushing, pulling

Game Off III “The game has changed”
