Something slightly different for today's retro heads up, as we've just been contacted through Twitter, that as from May 31st 2022, there will be the launch of the Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam hosted by zooperdan; a brand new creation contest for developers from around the world to develop some new games for the Amiga using Blitz Basic or AmiBlitz. As in their words " The idea behind this jam is to grow the community and increase knowledge and awareness around Amiga and the use of Blitz Basic and AmiBlitz to create games. This means that all submitted games must include the source code so that beginner developers will have examples to study and learn from ".
If that wasn't enough to get you involved they also go on to say "While this game jam is a perfect opportunity to create your very first game, or a side project to your other development activities or a chance to create that game you've been carrying inside you for decades and always wanted to do, the jam also includes prizes such as THEA500 Mini, $100 USD gift card, $75 USD gift card and even a Deluxe Mini Monster Retro Gaming Joystick Kit!"
So yes if you've got the skills and the Blitz knowhow, make sure to check out the latest contest which will be launched May 31st (HERE).
