Game Off, GitHub's fifth annual game jam, is set to begin in two weeks, and unlike typical 24-72 hour game jams, it will run for the entire month of November. Participants will have 30 days to create a game inspired by a theme announced on November 1st, with the freedom to use any technology or open-source game engines, libraries, and tools. This year's event will be hosted on itch.io, a platform for indie game developers, where participants can also judge the entries. Updates will be shared on GitHub's blog and Twitter, and participants are encouraged to follow along with the #GitHubGameOff hashtag. The event is organized by Lee Reilly from GitHub Developer Relations, who is known for his involvement in hackathons and support for developer communities.
