Here at the studio, October has a special place in our hearts. The leaves changing their colours which make that satisfying crunch sound when walked upon, those awful horror movies that I can’t stop watching that emerge from the depths of Netflix, the ideal sweater weather, the lack of judgement passed about the copious amount of sugary Halloween snacks consumed all month long, there’s a new episode of “Treehouse of Horror” which I can’t wait to watch, and of course, the pumpkin spice…everything, plus it’s socially acceptable to play dress up as a fully grown adult!

Let’s face it, October rules. As such, we’d like to celebrate this wonderful time of year with all of our GameDev friends – So get ready for the most spooktacular GameJam in Hamilton!

GrimJam is a 24-hour GameJam held at our offices in the McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton on October 29th and 30th with a specific focus on creating horror/spooky games. The event will be extremely casual and goofy (as seen by the sign up page) but prizes will be awarded to the best projects created during this 24-hour period.

We will provide the space, power, internet, snacks, prizes, and offer up some guidance if you get stuck during the jam. The event is COMPLETELY FREE so sign up here to confirm your spot in the jam: https://itch.io/jam/grimjam

ps. costumes are not mandatory, but will get you bonus points on judging

pps. get SPOOKED!
