Om kongressen:

✨ Hello everyone! ✨
Everyone here at the Nordic Game Jam team are *very* excited to get the ticket sale started. Because of COVID-19, everything this year will be a little different. However, we are making the best of this situation and we hope you all are ready to join us.

📌 What is Nordic Game Jam?
Nordic Game Jam is a game jam, which means you get a full weekend to make your own game based(-ish) on a theme. This means you can expect 48 hours of brainstorming, experimenting, coding, drawing and playing together. You get the opportunity to work and have fun with other game developers from around the globe. And the result is having your very own game at the end of the weekend.

🌱 How is Nordic Game Jam different from other Game Jams?
We are an entirely non-profit and volunteer-run and have been doing that since 2006. (https://nordicgamejam.com/about/). Over the years the game jam has been filled with talks, workshops, portfolio-review and many other activities for the participants. Nordic Game Jam is simply not only about making games, we want to gather people who have love for games and a strong support for diversity and inclusion in games. We want to create a welcoming and safe environment where we can get to learn each other and grow! You can read our Code of Conduct here.

📣 Quotes
Last year we held the first Online edition of Nordic Game Jam. This was a brand new experience for the Organiser team, yet a lot of you had wonderful comments about the Game Jam:
• “It was a wonderful experience, I am so glad I got to be a part of this and create a game with my friend. Thank you for taking this online, it was a pleasure to make a game for this event :)”
• “A really fun experience. The Discord felt like a large community, it was nice”
• “It was a new experience for me both funny and demanding as well”
• “I feel every year NGJ should be conducted online as well as in a physical location as it gives more exposure to indies throughout the world to participate.”
We have really embraced the online edition this year and got a lot of great feedback from last year with us, in order to create an even better experience this year.
