Sharing the Diversifiers

The GGJ Diversifiers are a really important part of the event, and can really help a team to excel in making a creative game by applying some constraints to the making process. Diversifiers are recommended for teams experienced in the game jam process.

Each year, we will come up with a list of 20 or so optional constraints, which cover all areas and skills of jamming: coding, design, art, accessibility, sound and misc/meta.

Teams can choose up to 4 Diversifiers to constrain their game, and these can be checked off when the game project is being created.

Please share these with your jammers, as it is really great to see what people come up with.

Once the Diversifiers are available, they will be released on our website.
