The GMTK Game Jam is an annual game making marathon, where individuals and teams try to make a game that fits a theme, in just 48 hours. The theme will be announced at the start of the jam.

We will be using Unity game engine to build our game. A basic build is attached in this repo. Submissions are required to run in the browser or on Windows and be less then 1GB when submitted to itch.io

Framework links and downloads:

Use Unity version 2021.3.1f1 - same as boilerplate Unity account signup free Unity LTS 2021.3.1f1 Windows Unity LTS 2021.3.1f1 Mac *Linux is a possibility but I have not tried it

Highly recommend using Visual Studio 2022 as it has great support for Unity code development in C# Quickstart: Configure Visual Studio for cross-platform development with Unity

Getting started

Clone this repo and add the root folder to Unity Hub.

It will take a while to open the first time as it will collect the packages and build files the project needs that are not included in the repo. Once open, the scene may be called "Untitled" and empty. Navigate to "SampleScene" where I have made a simple scene. Explore here, experiment, break it. Use the play arrow at the top the start the game and again to stop it.
