Game Jam Aotearoa 2023
Game Jam Aotearoa 2023 is a nation-wide, virtual, collaborative event to inspire and grow innovation, experimentation, and collaboration in games.
Beginning on Friday evening at 6pm, with video keynotes and advice from leaders in the game development industry, the fun really starts with the announcement of this year's theme at 7pm, kept secret until the last second!
These events are awesome for fostering friendships, increasing confidence, and creating opportunities within the game dev communities. You get to challenge yourself and your creativity, while you explore new roles, and develop and refine your skills.
Please note: This is primarily a virtual event that encourages collaboration across the country, however teams can meet up to collaborate in person if they choose to.
In addition to the fun of making a game, we also have prizes to give away!
In order to be eligible for the prizes you must be currently residing in New Zealand and be 18 years or older.

In Wraith's Ascension, you take on the role of Aeon, a time-traveling AI whose mission is to save the MAINFRAME from an malicious force. Along your journey, you'll encounter unique and dynamic AI characters who will bestow their combat data and weapons to you to help you on your quest. With each dimension comes new challenges, and you'll need to unlock powerful spells and abilities, such as the ability to manipulate time and leverage the potential of AI and machine learning. But beware, the enemy is cunning and formidable, and victory can only be achieved through rigorous combat training and acquiring new data. Will you emerge victorious and secure the future of the MAINFRAME?
Steal old parts from enemy mechs and upgrade them for your own side.
Target an enemy arm gun and press SPACE to fly over to it and knock it off.
Pick up the fallen arm gun by running into it, then carry it back to the refurbishment table hidden behind your mech.
Press F at the refurbishment table. Then, with the upgraded part, target your own mech's arm and press SPACE again to fly up to it. This will replace the part and increase the damage your mech deals to the enemy.
