According to GameDev KSA, participants will be matched with experienced developers, allowing newcomers to learn while working on a complete game project.
Building teams
The jam is designed to bring together people with different levels of experience and help participants build games within the event's timeframe. Teams will work on their projects before presenting their finished games for evaluation.
The winning team will receive a prize of SAR 3,000 ($800), while the event also offers participants the opportunity to gain practical experience and connect with other members of Saudi Arabia's growing game development community.
Registration for the National Game Jam closes on September 13th, with the event beginning the following day. Interested individuals can register here.
