What's On - Fuse Jam! 5

Fuse Jam is a space to be playful and creative with other people in a game jam format.

Please note that Fuse Jam is a multi-day event (Friday evening, Saturday daytime, Sunday daytime) - more details below.

What's a Fuse Jam?
Fuse Jam is a space to be playful and creative with other people in a game jam format. Starting with some group games to get to know each other; followed by an exciting interactive theme creation process. Each group will get their own theme to spark ideas from two fused-together prompts! Then everyone goes away and makes something, it can be digital or physical as long as it uses the theme. At the end of the jam everyone will come together to share what they have made, whether it is finished or a work in progress. There is no obligation to create a finishe game. Previous fuse jam prompts have involved sound effects, space captains and even hook-a-duck. This will be the first in-person Fuse Jam in Dundee, with Fuse Jam 1-3 being hosted in Bristol, and Fuse Jam 4 as an online jam!

Do I need experience making games?
We encourage people of all skill levels to join in - including complete beginners. If you are interested in making a digital game, there are plenty of beginner-friendly tools such as Bitsy and Twine that we can introduce you to during the jam.

What defines a game is really up to the people who create it, and we are very keen for Fuse Jam to explore this by creating digital, board, role-playing and physical projects, as well as anything else you might like to create!
