FAQ
The short version.
Who can join?
Developers, artists, designers, writers, musicians, students, studio teams, and curious first-time jammers. You do not need to be a professional game developer.
What is the Da Nang Jam community mission?
Our mission is to grow an open, welcoming game development community in Da Nang where Vietnamese and international creators of every experience level can meet, share skills, collaborate, and have fun. We believe making games together can create friendships, creative confidence, and opportunities that continue long after the jam ends.
Do I need a team?
No. You can come solo, bring a team, or meet collaborators at the Friday meeting party.
When does the actual build start?
The detailed build schedule will be announced closer to the event.
Can teams use AI tools?
AI code assistance is allowed. AI-generated final art assets are not allowed. Teams may use AI for programming help, debugging, technical research, and private ideation, but all submitted visual assets must be created by the team or used under a valid license. Teams must disclose any AI tools used.

Participants and teams retain ownership of their original work. Da Nang Jam claims no ownership rights over submitted games, and any third-party assets remain subject to their respective owners’ licenses.
