10 games in 3 days? How is that even possible?!
In a game jam, anything is possible!
When you are well-equipped with the top-tier tools and a studio environment with a creative team, you'd be surprised how easy it is to churn out 10 games in 3 days.
About the Alphabet Jam
This is the first internal game jam for the class of 2020 at AIE Seattle! Budding game developers from the Game Programming, Game Art and Animation, and Game Design and Production will come together to make games around a particular theme. They will experience the joys and pains of working together towards a murky and ever-changing goal over the course of a little under 48 hours.

All Video Game Development Program Collaboration
All Year 1 Game Design & Production, Game Art & Animation, and Game Programming students came together to create 10 games in 3 days. Some teams of 2, some teams included up to 7 people.

The following games created from this game jam were a variety of genres: story-driven platformers, action, survival, strategy, shooter, and racing games.
