Celebrate bad box art with a Game Jolt game jam!



Announcing the Bad Box Art Challenge!

The art on the covers, cartridges, and jewel case inserts of some video games is so bad it's funny. The best (worst?) examples are not only poorly illustrated, but also seem to belong to entirely different games than the ones they supposedly depict.

What if the games in these boxes actually resembled their terrible cover art? Let's find out!

Participants will have 48 hours to make a game based on an art sample from our Gallery of Trash.

Start: Friday, March 25 at Midnight (Pacific)
Deadline: Sunday, March 27 at Midnight (Pacific)

How to participate and more is on the Bad Box Art Challenge jam homepage.

Be sure to read the official jam rules.

I can't wait to play the games that come out of this! Happy jamming!

Game Jolt is showcasing a bunch of free indie games at GDC & giving away Expo Passes!



Hello friends (and friends-to-be!),

Game Jolt is going to GDC and we're using our booth for:

The Game Jolt Alternative Indie Fest

Here's what makes this showcase unique:

  • Only free games. Free games are a HUGE part of indie gaming, but they don't get enough recognition at the big industry events. Let's change that!
  • No entry fee. We want everyone to be able to enter.
  • No outside judges. Participants judge the games. In the end, we tally the votes. Winners are chosen by their peers.
  • No corporate sponsors or publishers. It's FOR indies BY indies.


There are 2 ways you can enter a game for a chance to be at GDC:

1. Submit a Game to #GJFEST

If you released a game during 2015 or early 2016 (and it's free), you can enter it into the Fest.

10 indie developers will be awarded a GDC Expo Pass and a spot to showcase their winning game in the Game Jolt booth.

Details & how to enter: http://jams.gamejolt.io/gjfest

If you didn't make a game in 2015 or 2016 (or don't want to enter one that you did), you still have a chance to be showcased...

2. Join the Game Jolt GDC Jam Feb 4-7

Make a game in 72 hours for the Game Jolt GDC Jam, which starts on February 4th.

Developers of the top 5 games will get a GDC Expo Pass and time at the Game Jolt booth to show off their jam game.

All the Games!

We'll be showing 60+ free indie games at the Game Jolt booth at GDC! The showcase will include the top 5 #GJGDCJam games and the top 10 #GJFest games, as chosen by the participants in each event, as well as 45 games chosen by Game Jolt staff and some awesome guest curators.

We hope to see you (and your games!) at the Game Jolt Alternative Indie Fest at GDC!

This looks really good. Is the art all original?

Game Jam - Indies VS Gamers, with PewDiePie, Markiplier & Jacksepticeye



Hey RPG Makers, it's Paul Hack (@indiegamehunt) from Game Jolt and I want to let you all know about another game jam we're having!

You will have 72 hours to make a game with a scoreboard using the Game Jolt API. The theme will be announced when the jam starts.

PewDiePie, Markiplier, and Jacksepticeye will be playing the top 5 games as voted on by the community.

Gamers will compete for high scores in the winning games, with the best scores displayed on the jam homepage.

The jam runs from July 17-20 (12:00AM Eastern Time).

Details are on the Indies vs Gamers jam homepage: http://jams.gamejolt.io/indiesvsgamers

You may want to test out API integration now so you don't have to fumble around during the jam: https://help.gamejolt.com/dev-game-api

By involving gamers as well as developers, we hope to get indie gaming more well known by the gaming community at large.

I hope to see a lot of you there =]

Everyone is Happy

This looks amazing.

Suzy and freedom
