Pride Game Jam HKI 2022 is here!

Posted on 30.6.2022 by FGJ

Today, Thursday 30. 6. 2022, the 3rd annual Pride Game Jam officially begins!

In honor of Pride Month, this four day event celebrates LGBTQIA+ people by creating a safe space where participants can create art, music, and, of course, games, by which they can freely express their gender, sexual, and romantic experiences.

The event is a hybrid one, meaning that jammers can join us in-person in Helsinki, as well as through Discord from anywhere else in the world. Everything you need to know about Pride Game Jam can be found on PGJ’s website, including schedule, information for our jammers, and a list of this year’s amazing speakers.

The event will be streamed on the Finnish Game Jam Twitch, and you can find us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

You can also follow us through our official hashtags, #PrideGameJamHKI22 and #FGJ. Use these when posting about the event!

And finally, huge thank you to our sponsors: Metacore as Platinum sponsor, Skunkworks Games as Gold sponsor, Ubisoft RedLynx as Silver sponsor, and Boom Corp as Bronze sponsor!

Happy jamming everyone!
