Ramon Machuca

After having carried out the registration form, the participants have had approximately a month to create a program that fits the theme, in this edition they have chosen the expression 'This is not a game', ¨ to encourage people to play a little with the format ¨, say the organizers.

During this period of time, the participants have consulted any doubts that may have arisen with the professors of the Video Game Design and Development degree at the URJC. 

The teams, made up of a maximum of 6 members, must have at least 4 students belonging to the University, the rest of the members can be people from outside the URJC. All participants will have to enter the server 'discord' of the event to be aware of news and activities, as well as the doubt sessions with teachers. In addition, the captain of each group will have to enter the 'jam' of itch.io to deliver the project. In this edition, which is already the third, 18 formations have been presented.

Once the projects are submitted, the judges will evaluate the games based on how well they adhere to the theme, the quality of the gameplay and visuals, and their technical complexity.

The organizers of the project explain the importance of organizing this type of activities, “it is a very good opportunity for students of any grade and especially video game students to start making games and put into practice what they know and learn new things.”

Finally, on November 10 at 17:00 p.m., the winners will be revealed at the closing ceremony, which will take place at the Quintana headquarters, and they will be offered prizes connected to the world of video games.
