Pencil, Chisel, Code!


"Pencil, Chisel, Code!" is a gamejam that my wife Christina Charlier and I started in 2021. Ever since, we organize it together every year the 2nd or 3rd week-end of November. The winner(s) get bragging rights.

The goal of the jam is to create a game over a 50h time period around a theme. The only rule is that any graphic asset has to be self-made during the jam. It doens't matter if it's 2D, 2.5D or 3D. This is a closed community vote. Only people from the jam can vote, and we are only hosting.

We have gathered a little community on our Discord server and we have regular team coming back every year. It's always a really mature and fun atmosphere.
