Join the Winter #ue4jam!

By Amanda Bott

It's time for our Winter #ue4jam! Once a quarter, Unreal Engine hosts the #ue4jam to give developers a chance to polish their skills and compete for awesome prizes!

The Winter #ue4jam kicks off on February 8th at 3PM ET. The theme will be announced at the end of our Unreal Engine livestream, viewable on Twitch, Facebook, and YouTube. This season’s jam will then wrap up on Sunday, February 11th at 11:59 PM ET, after which no more submissions will be permitted to enter. The results will be announced on the March 1st livestream.

After three and a half days of jamming, the judges will award points in three categories: fun, visual aesthetic, and unique use of theme. The top three scoring projects overall will receive exciting prizes from our sponsors, including an Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P, an Indie Houdini license from SideFX, and a multitude of assets from some of our outstanding Marketplace sponsors.  

Many thanks to all of our sponsors: Intel Software, SideFX, Assembla, CrowdForge.io, Low Entry, Panda Studios, SilverTM, W3 Studios, and Whitman and Olbert.  

Find out about what other special categories you can also compete in and full details regarding the rules in the Winter #ue4jam forum post. We look forward to playing all the amazing games!
