One month, one game.— scrappy on purpose
Hello, friend —VelociCodeis San Antonio's month-long game jam. Year one was small and scrappy and full of first-timers — so good we couldn't not do it again. Year two doubles down: a full month to build, a community kickoff, mid-jam playtest, and a science-fair-style showcase.
Hosted by ACM San Antonio and the Greater Gaming Society, the jam is built for the San Antonio community — students, hobbyists, designers, artists, devs, first-timers. Show up solo, find a team, ship something you can hand a controller to.
It's not a hackathon — there's no all-nighter, no exhaustion-as-flex. It's a month. Make a tiny thing. Make it weird. Make it yours.
The route.five waypoints, one month
Hit them all or just the ones you can — the whole jam runs through the month, so you're never out of bounds.

Last year a handful of local groups turned the jam from a friendly gathering into a real community event. Pick a lane — or three.
