Game Off

Participants are given the entire month of November to build a game based on a theme–individually or as a team.

The use of open source code and freely availably assets is encouraged, but it is not a strict requirement.

[1] Game Off I and II required participants to "fork" an empty GitHub source code repository.

Many other game jams and hackathons have adopted this approach e.g. Netflix's Cloud Prize, and Canonical's Juju Charm Championship.

Game Off IV allowed participants to start with a new repository.
