24 hours, countless ideas and a game of your own: The Deggendorf GameJam DEGDEV is back for its third round
On October 24, 2026, Deggendorf will transform into a meeting point for gaming fans, developers, creative minds and curious beginners. At the 3rd Deggendorf GameJam – DEGDEV, new game ideas, digital worlds and playable prototypes will be created within 24 hours.
Together from the first concept to the playable prototype
Whether coding expert, pro-gamer or gaming novice: The GameJam is aimed at everyone who enjoys creative teamwork and developing their own games. Participants can start alone or team up with a group of up to six people. The focus is on the idea, the joy of development and the shared trial and error.
Festival atmosphere for the game development community
DEGDEV combines focused work phases with the community feeling of a creative multi-day experience. Amidst code, concept sketches, game design, sound ideas and initial test runs, an intense development atmosphere emerges. The special appeal of a GameJam lies in direct exchange: ideas are quickly sketched, discarded, further developed and made immediately playable.
Expert support from THD
The Deggendorf GameJam is supported by Prof. Daniel Volk from the Deggendorf University of Applied Sciences. This gives the event additional proximity to education, research, and professional game development practice. Festival terms like prototyping, playtesting, scope management, and team organization become immediately tangible during the collaborative development process.
A creative race against time
24 hours set a clear framework and create dynamics. The teams work focused on their projects, make quick design decisions, and turn spontaneous ideas into concrete gaming experiences. This mix of time pressure, creativity, and mutual support defines the character of DEGDEV.
Conclusion: Not just playing games, but creating them yourself
The 3rd Deggendorf GameJam – DEGDEV invites you to experience gaming from a new perspective. Visitors and participants can expect an intense creative marathon filled with code, ideas, team spirit, and controller vibes. Those who have always wanted to develop their own game will find the perfect starting point for 24 hours full of inspiration here.
