The Gaijin Jam is a series of hackathons where developers make game prototypes alone or with a team of friends. The best work is rewarded with cash prizes. Winners are selected by prominent game developers, Gaijin staff, and Jam participants. Gaijin Jam #2 has an important additional condition: games may only be made using daScript and dasbox (daScript applications runtime environment), while all other languages, engines and frameworks are not allowed.

"Scripting languages are essential to achieve high productivity in game development," explains Anton Yudintsev, co-founder of Gaijin Entertainment. "The daScript language is easy to learn, enables high performance and productivity, and is accessible to everyone."

The registration form can be found on the official Discord server of Gaijin Jam: https://discord.gg/WJrJX6wkv6

The Gaijin Jam #2 will begin on March 1 at 16:00 GMT, when the main theme of the Jam will be announced. Registration is already open on the Discord server. There you can also ask questions about the event and recruit new team members. The event will also include game development talks from industry experts and streams of games produced by Jam participants. All activities will be announced in Discord and the Facebook group.
