Playing games is fun – and making them can be a lot of fun too. In the Dragon Art Jam, you’re invited to flex your creativity and make your very own voxel dragon. Everyone who does will be rewarded with a free fearsome Dragon skin to wear across all the games on dot big bang!
Start by making a remix of the base object. You can add color, and decorate, reshape, or animate it, using all the tools at your disposal. You can even delete what’s there and start a new dragon from a blank canvas. Use your imagination, experiment freely, and make something awesome!
