‘When the internet is out, some browsers get on our nerves with dinosaurs or surfing games which only reminds gamers that without the internet we’re back to the stone age and can’t surf the web. We created the Opera GX Game Jam to call on all artists and creative gamers to make the offline experience fun,’ <\/i>said Maciej Kocemba<\/span>, Product Director of Opera GX.<\/p>\n

The Opera GX Game Jam competition will give one winner the unique opportunity for their game to be played by millions in the Opera GX offline page. The top three artists will also win cash prizes of $3k<\/span>, $7k<\/span> and $10K<\/span>. The winning game will gain the prestige of becoming the first playable game to ever feature in Opera GX, helping to entertain gamers during those rare offline moments that would otherwise make them cry.<\/p>\n

The GX Game Jam is being hosted with GameMaker Studio 2 – the world’s leading 2D game development engine, and in collaboration with Game Jolt<\/a>, one of the largest communities for games and the people who make and play them. <\/p>\n

The best game will receive expert development support from the GameMaker team, before being unleashed within the Opera GX desktop browser. Once completed, it will also be promoted to Opera GX’s millions of users through the browser’s GX Corner and across the social accounts of Opera GX, GameMaker Studio 2 and Game Jolt.<\/p>\n

The Opera GX Game Jam will be open for submissions<\/a>\u00a0starting on the 29th of July, when the theme for the event will be revealed. <\/p>\n
