Game Off 2018 theme announcement

Game Off is an annual month-long game jam organized by GitHub, where participants create games based on the theme "HYBRID" from November 1 to December 1. Participants are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively, possibly by blending different genres, visual styles, or music elements, and can work individually or in teams. They need to sign up on GitHub and itch.io, create a public GitHub repository for their game code and assets, and submit their entry on itch.io before the deadline. Participants can use open-source software and vote on submissions after the jam concludes, with highlighted favorites showcased on the GitHub Blog. The event supports newcomers to Git, GitHub, and version control by providing resources and encourages the use of various programming languages and game engines. The official hashtag for the event is #GitHubGameOff, and it's supported by Lee Reilly, a Senior Program Manager at GitHub.
