The Cardinal Game Jam
The Cardinal Game Jam is our one and only game jam event. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. Come make games, learn how to make games, or play games! Our goal is to bring together people with all kinds of backgrounds to contribute to game development and creativity. It is an opportunity to push boundaries and collaborate on a fast-paced challenge. Anyone is welcome to attend. Just bring your computer, toothbrush, and enthusiasm!
