About the convention:

"The big city! 🏙️ A place filled with bustling citizens, unique shops and incredible sights. But, among the conveniences of modern life, beneath all concrete and plumbing and wires, there lies... something much more ancient. ✨ An essence as old as time itself - and something only a select few people know about. So what about you? Do you feel comfortable living a regular life as an average person? Or do you strive to see... the whole story?🧙"
That's right folks, grab your wands, swords and spellbooks (but make sure no-one sees you!) as Create Jam Spring 2024 heads straight into 🪄 URBAN FANTASY 🌆
What is Urban Fantasy, you may ask? Simply, it's a genre where fantasy elements bleed into our everyday modern world! Think Harry Potter! Persona! Heck, Mary Poppins falls under it! There's plenty of famous examples out there! 🌟
We can't wait to jam with you in just under a month! Sign-ups are already open - make sure you sign up for the jam right here: https://forms.gle/SjpTDSdbt8ytbgWd9. 🎮

FAQ:
-- What is Create Jam? --
Create Jam is a weekend game jam set at the AAU Create Building. A bunch of game developers, both amateur and experienced, meet up and create a game in just 42 hours! The game has to follow a randomly chosen challenge selected during the opening ceremony! There will also be a keynote by an industry professional, and prices for the best games!
-- When is Create Jam? --
Create Jam takes place from March 29th, 16:00 CET to March 31st, 16:00 CET!
-- I don't have the entire weekend available to jam! --
Hey - we get that! But you can still feel free to join - we get jammers all the time who have to sacrifice a few hours of jamming to go to an event during the weekend. They still have plenty of times to create a game anyways!
-- Who can join Create Jam? --
Create Jam is open to absolutely everyone, not just students - and not just programmers! Are you an artist, musician or designer? There is definitely a place for you to contribute your skills!
-- I can't join the jam physically! --
No worries! If you cannot join Create Jam physically, you can jam online through our Discord server! We can even provide you with a text/voice channel to make collaboration easier! And we'll set up computers to showcase your game to the people at Create! Both our opening and closing ceremony are streamed on Twitch as well!
-- I have no money! --
Well luckily for you, Create Jam is 100% free!! And we'll provide you with snacks, drinks and coffee to keep you going!
-- What games can I submit? --
Video games and board games are welcome at Create Jam! You can make games for any control-style - but keep in mind that not everyone might be able to play a VR game, or a game that requires 4 players at all times, or a board game that takes 45 minutes to finish! It's always a good idea to make your game suitable for anyone!
-- What are the awards? --
Create Jam has three awards:
🏆The Community Award, where the jammers vote for their favourite game!
🏆 The Industry Award, where a videogame industry judge picks their favourite video game!
🏆 The Boardgame Award, where a boardgame industry judge picks their favourite board game!
