Github will host Game Off, annual game jam. One month to submit a new game.

I have joined and will try to submit some new game if I have time (working on other IT projects), but I guess it is a good change to promote Gideros.

That looks pretty cool. A month long jam is pretty cool as a lot of people can;t take 2 entire days off and deprive themselves of sleep just to make a little game

I really hope they choose a good theme. I was wanting to enter the recent KenneyJam but when they announced the theme.. I was like WTF!?

From official page:

The theme for this year’s jam is throwback.

Let your imagination run wild and interpret that in any way you like, but here are a few possible interpretations for inspiration:

a reversion to an earlier ancestral characteristic
a person or thing having the characteristics of a former time
a nostalgia for something in the past (fashion, movies, literature, games, technology)
something retro—a blast from the past
something passé—no longer fashionable or popular
throwing something back—as in a ball or reply
