Hey everyone!

I'm hosting the Music Game Jam from September 22-25, where you create a music-related game in one weekend!

In particular, I'm aiming to facilitate an exploration of new, innovative approaches to the music game genre (i.e. a move away from Guitar Hero clones). For example, you could create an 8-bit tribute to your favourite band, an interactive music video, a Beethoven RPG, or an FPS musical!

And of course, all skill levels and disciplines (art, music, code, design) are welcome!


Other cool things:

• ~$100 in game prizes, which you could win just by participating!
• YouTubers and streamers lined up to play your entries and give feedback!
• Top entries will be bundled together, with all proceeds going towards charity

If this sounds like your kind of thing, you can join the event here!

You can stay updated and help spread the word via our Twitter @MusicGameJam!

You can also join our Discord community for the jam (and future jams)!

Finally, you can easily find teammates over on our CrowdForge page!

Hope to see you there!

Cheers, Xavier

This type of music jams is very helpful for newcomers who want a platform to use their skills. I have some students who are very excited to perform in this kind of events. When will you organize this event again? 

Hi Matthew, great to hear that your students are interested!
I plan to hold the event annually; here is the jam page for Music Game Jam 2018: https://itch.io/jam/musicgamejam2018
