Wan • 5 months ago Following discussions among the admins, we collectively decided to put Alakajam events on indefinite hiatus, with all events being put on hold.
It’s been a tough call but a logical one: after all these years jamming & hosting jams, most of the administrators have slowly seen their situations, free time, and interests change over time, making it more and more difficult to put as much energy into Alakajam as we’d like.
We’re proud of the little thing we’ve got going here: 8 years of a cosy little community, where many cool people have been met, much gamedev has been practiced, and much fun has been had. While we’d like to run these events longer, we also need to do them right, and it should be no surprise to our regulars that it’s been a bit of a struggle lately, so this hiatus feels like the best decision.
So what’s next for Alakajam? Honestly it’s pretty undecided as of now, we may change our minds about this break the minute the 22nd AKJ ends so don’t consider this a definite goodbye yet. What we know for sure is that the website & Discord are here to stay, and should anyone (and YOU in particular) want to use the Alakajam platform to run something cool, we’re pretty open to discuss it.
