Month: August 2020

GGJ Next 2020 is a two week event that started on July the 14th and ended on July the 24th. It is, mainly, young people aged between 12 and 17 making games.

To be clear, this is not a competition — rather it’s a safe space to experiment and push your limits as a game-maker. There are no grades, no prizes, no expectations.

Hundreds of game developers take part in the Global Game Jam every year, for this very reason. GGJ Next was created as an extra-safe place for developers ages 12-17 to operate in.
