Understanding the Value of Game Jams
The white paper That's My Jam: Understanding the Value of Game Jams, published June 2025 and authored by Michael Iantorno, examines game jams in the Canadian game industry.
- Survey respondents overwhelmingly felt that game jams helped them develop game design skills, with no participant answering no.
- Most participants who attempted commercial releases said jams did not give them enough advice on commercialising their game.
