Game jams are where CamperForge experiments with ideas, works under tight constraints and builds playable games in a short amount of time.
GameDev Challenge
GameDev Challenge is the retro game jam organised by CamperForge over the last few years. During a single weekend, participants create games for their chosen classic platform without game engines or commercial tools.
The jam is about constraints, experimentation and the joy of understanding how games were made closer to the hardware. It is also a chance to build something together and share it with other retro enthusiasts.
