Hi AppGameKit folks.

We're having a little fun on itch.io and running our first game jam there with more to come.

A few small prizes, but it's mainly about having a good time and showing everyone what you can do with AppGameKit Studio and Classic (all Tiers).

You can join the party or review past jams by visiting the AppGameKit Official Jam HQ on itch.io.


Enjoy and I hope to see a lot of you there.

Well done everyone.

I started using AppGameKit again after about a decade to take part in the AppGameKit Space Jam.

I have to say it was a treat to use and in many ways better than the larger game dev platforms.

I'm pretty happy with how my entry turned out:

the AGK SPACE Jam is complete.

i've got a shiny new badge (1st Jam win ever ), i've increased my meager 3D skillset a bit, and my JimJams collection is now complete.

thanks Dave. good old school fun!

meanwhile, Scab's updated his entry since; give it a go if you haven't already, along with the others.

and, check out DewarInveserion's would-be entry Project Jupiter that didn't quite make it into the pool.

Nice effort, all!

Dave's advised "a couple of weeks" until we see the 3rd Official AppGameKit Jam so stay tuned and hope to Jam alongside more of you soon!

as it's a new year, the next Jam's theme seems completely appropriate:

#6 The AppGameKit - Finish It! Jam
This AppGameKit Jam will be to finish one (or more) of your existing projects!


The Jam begins in almost a month and lasts for THREE so there is plenty of time to decide which of your projects deserves to see the light of day and FINISH IT!

This Jam is truly for everyone where i expect we all have a long list of unifinished projects.
