Global Game Jam 2023

Global Game Jam 2023 @ Noisebridge hosted by Bay Area Developers Collective is a site of the annual game jam around the world. Global Game Jam Page: Game Jam Site Page GGJ 2023 Diversifiers!: Diversifiers are a great way to add a little more fun or challenge to your jam weekend. Sometimes they can be very helpful to limit your scope or refine your ideas. They are totally optional constraints you can choose to add to your GGJ Online game alongside the main focus of the theme. It can help your game stand out from the crowd, and you can choose up to 4 when you submit! This year's diversifiers will also be available in other languages, which will be linked to this post as soon as they are ready.
