**-------- PARTICIPATING TEAMS --------
**
In order to streamline the playing, judging, recording, and winners announcement process, we’re requesting that teams participating in the jam let us know beforehand in order to prepare appropriately for the event. We’ll update the list with links to the games afterwards, too, so can find your title without having to scroll through the whole thread :slight_smile: Pre-registration is not required for entry, and we know people will come in later, but it will greatly aid us in turning everything around quickly. We appreciate your help in making this event awesome :cool:

Please send myself a PM with your team name and number of team members and we’ll get you added to the list!

Haven’t jammed since February so I’m trying to see who in my studio group has the time! Might be 3 or 4 of us. I just want to make a game, been working a lot on open world environments for my project so it’ll be a nice treat to jump back into blueprints and make another weird entry to shock you all hehe.

Hi, I’m totally new to this, and i may be participating just for fun, and to learn how to use UE4, more deeply ! :slight_smile:
I think that you can count me in, even if what i’m going to do, totally sucks :slight_smile:

Hi there, if you need an experienced composer and sound designer for your team, I’m up for it! I can do the music traditionally or make it adaptive/interactive with FMOD or Wwise. I have no genre restrictions.

My name is Juhani Junkala. I’m a 33 year old musician from Finland. I have over 20 years of experience as a composer and electronic music producer. I also have a master’s degree as a classical composer from Sibelius Academy (ranked top 7th music university in the world, 2016).

Check out the previous games I’ve worked with in my Game Audio Portfolio (2016)
