Learn To Make Games At Micro Jam Week!

The Global Game Jam 2024 is coming up fast, with jammer registrations opening on Monday Dec 4th. To celebrate, we’re running the first dot big bang Micro Jam Week!

This is a series of five daily co-building streams that’ll help you learn to make games on dot big bang. The streams will happen on Twitch and YouTube each day from the 4th-8th December, at 14:00 PST / 17:00 ET / 22:00 GMT.

Hosted by members of the dbb dev team, each micro jam will show you how to make something awesome on dot big bang, whether it’s making a new character, designing a small game world, or whipping up a custom player controller. 

By following along with what the host is doing, you’ll pick up some essential skills for building games in dot big bang – and have something to show by the end of each session. With what you learn, you’ll be in great shape to take part in this year’s Global Game Jam.
