expected to be able to work in
interdisciplinary teams, and have a picture of
the entire collaborative development process,
and be able to use problem-based thinking and
creative problem solving when creating a video
game.

Course contents

Arcada Game Jam is a course where we plan,
design and create a video game in one week. You
will work in teams and fill a role of
programmer, game designer, graphic artist,
audio designer, or other game development-
related occupation.
The game will have to include - in some form -
the keywords or theme given at the first
session.
You are free to choose the tools you use, but
Arcada will provide a Game Maker 2 license and
Adobe CC products.

NB! You get 2,5 sp per game jam. Två completed
jams will give you 5 sp, which is the limit.
You can also join online game jams (they are
valued case by case, but approximately 48h jams
= 1,25 sp, 1 week jams = 2,5 sp)
