The resulting games can then be submitted for a friendly competition at the next Toronto Film School Arcade, later in the year.  Don’t worry – you’re allowed to polish entries before then!

 

This free event is open to the public. Teams of all shapes, sizes, and skill levels are welcome. Caffeine, blankets, and PJs are all encouraged.  We hope to see you there!

 

The event will be held at Steeles campus of the Toronto Film School on:

Don’t have a full team roster, but still want to participate?  Let us know where you’re lacking and we’ll find you a new ally.

 

Thinking of flying solo?  Game jams are best served collaboratively, so let us find you a team!

 

Otherwise feel free to join us as a floater and contribute your skills wherever you can.
