Gameathon 2023

Always wanted to build your own game or alter an existing one to your own taste? This is the time to do it!

Our goal is to make something playable (and fun!) in just one weekend.

Maybe you would like to make a game for our arcade machine or surface table?

Or design your own pixel art video game?

Or put our 3D printers to good use and create your very own tabletop game?

This weekend is about building your game your way!


Is it for me?

No matter your skill-set or interests, there is something for everyone: scenario-writing, music, dialogue, drawing, programming, design, crafts, and more.

Using pre-made assets is no problem, just make sure that you have the necessary rights to use them, and attribute them in your game’s description properly.

Whether you create something on your own, as a duo or in a group is up to you.

Participating is free!


Location

You can find us at Carbon6, room L406

Kloosterweg 1

Should you not have keys to enter the building yourself, give us a call (+31-45-71-12345) and we will come to pick you up and guide you to ACKspace.
