The 2nd Alakajam will happen between Feb 23rd to 25th. Until then the theme voting happens. The theme for the jam will be decided by the community. That means, you can submit themes you like and vote for the themes of other participants. All you have to do is to create an account and start to submit and rate themes.

The voting process

• For one week (starting Feb 9th) you can submit up to three theme suggestions. Everyone else will be able to rate your suggestions positively or negatively.
• After one week (at Feb 16th) suggestions will be closed. The top ten themes will be made public and everybody can vote for them in order of preference.
• The final theme will be announced with the launch of the jam (at Friday Feb 23rd, 7pm) with an announcement video.

Things to do

• Create an account to participate in the jam
• Write a "I am in" blog post -- Tell the community who are you, what tools you use or what themes you like!
• Check the detailed rules and the help section
• Join us on Twitter, Reddit or in the IRC chat

My brother and I are joining Alakajam for our first coop game jam.
We're really looking forward to make our first game. My brother is basically a beginner in programming, so that'll be an introduction. I will be doing the teaching part as well as making the jam a great time !
We may use Python/Pygame for the development section, and… We'll improvise for the remaining.
Cheers !

I’m in!

Hi everyone. This is going to be my first game jam. I’m pretty new to making games. I started a programming degree a few years back but had to drop out due to ill health. I’ve recently got back into programming and I’m having a great time slowly learning to use Unity and Blender to make simple games.

I’m really excited to join you all for the jam in a couple of weeks. I’m certain my game is going to be very basic and probably quite rubbish, but it’ll be a great learning experience and a small step on the path to making something cool!

I’m not sure if I am going to be solo or in a small team this time; I have a couple of friends that are interested but it may be slightly too short notice. Either way, should be good fun.

Catch you all in a couple of weeks!

Last Alakajam I worked off an idea that very quickly scaled out of control and despite a release, was unfinished. Nonetheless I was happy either way and I'm super hyped to go again on something completely new.

I'm a solo programmer who may or may not enlist the help of their sister for music whilst I handle art and logic.

Tools of choice:

1. Unity
2. Visual Studio
3. FruityLoops
4. Paint.Net/Krita

This is my first time in a game jam, and hopefully my first time completing a game!
