AFI Co., Ltd. (CEO Oh-Hyeon Kwon), which operates Korea’s leading game server platform ‘Backnd;’ will hold the “2023 Game Jam, from beginning to end” starting December 15th and will invite participants until December 4th. It was announced on the 8th that it would be recruiting.
A game jam is a time-limited game development competition to encourage original ideas and creativity among participants. This “From Beginning to End” game jam is the first competition and will be held for three days and two nights from the evening of December 15th to the 17th. It will recruit 50 participants.
This game jam will be held under the theme of ‘Creating an online game in 45 hours’. The plan is to provide developers with new experiences and help them grow through the challenge of developing an online game over two nights and three days. You can participate even without server knowledge, thanks to mentoring support from the professional technical team.
Developing an online game in a short period is possible due to the characteristics of the back-end service. ‘Backnd;’ is characterized by the fact that even beginners without server knowledge can easily use the functions necessary for game development. Various server functions required for game development and operation are provided as SaaS.
At the backnd;, about 30 asynchronous server functions essential for game development, such as login, announcements, events, real-time DB management, receipt verification, ranking, guild, and push alarms, and functions such as chat, match, and functions are being provided. Anyone can apply because using the rear end is not a mandatory condition for participation.
Applications for game jam participation can be made online as individuals, and team building will be held on the day of the event. During the game jam, participants will be provided with both meals and lodging and participate in souvenirs and various prizes.
