ABOUT
Pinuwuk's Game Jams
It all started when Pin realized there were a lot of folks out there interested in game development but didn't know where to start. She decided to host an annual event where she would challenge herself to create a game in 24 hours using free, accessible software like GB Studio to encourage people to get into game development. This event led to the creation of a replacement event, Pinuwuk's Lil Guy Game Jam, where game developers of all levels are invited to work on putting something out with low pressure!At the end of each jam, Pinuwuk streams the submissions on her stream, live reacting and giving her first impressions to each game. It's a fun way to celebrate all of the works and showcase more developers!Most old showcases are highlighted on Pinuwuk's Twitch channel, however she is currently working on editing & uploading them on YouTube as well.

Lil Guy Game Jams
March, June, & SEPTEMBER
THEME: "Lil Guy" & A Different Theme Each Jam!
Creating games can be extremely daunting, so Pinuwuk created an annual event where she would try to make a game in 24 hours with GB Studio to encourage folks that were interested in game development to take the first step. This event has been transformed into Pinuwuk's Lil Guy Game Jam, which invites developers of all levels to come and create something fun! There will be at least 3 annual Pinuwuk's Lil Guy Game Jams per year, with smaller ones potentially added throughout.
Pinuwuk's Other
Game Jams
Pinuwuk will be hosting other smaller jams throughout the year! These will usually be anywhere from 1 week to 2 weeks long! An example of this would be her Halloween jam in October (2025) and the Just Grind Jam in March (2026).
Game Jam Community
The community surrounding Pinuwuk's game jams can be found within her Discord server, "pinuwuk.exe". This is a combination server that is split between two main roles. One role provides access to her main community/art/etc. related things, and the other role provides access to the game jam & game development section. Those who join have the option of choosing either or both.
Indie Developer Support
Pinuwuk seeks to uplift fellow independent developers by showcasing their works on her streams. Outside of the showcases of submissions to her game jams, she has plans to do indie game showcase days and interviews with indie developers in the future.
