TOJam
TOJam or Toronto Game Jam is an annual game development event held in Toronto each Spring. The event is named for the common abbreviation for Toronto ("T.O."), and the term for an impromptu performance ("jam"), borrowed from jazz. The name of the event is knowingly evocative of "toe jam". The first TOJam event was held in May 2006.
== Event Structure ==
TOJam is a live event that takes place over the course of a single weekend 〔(The Grid - Weekend Warriors )〕 from Friday to Sunday (although some events have offered developers earlier access starting Thursday). Participants, called "jammers", come from a variety of backgrounds including hobbyists, students, and professionals and descend on the jam venue, often bringing their own equipment, favourite snack foods, and overnight gear.〔(Torontoist - Ankle Deep in TOJam )〕 Most attendees are adults although some exceptions have been made for teenagers.〔(Torontoist - Toronto's Tastiest Homemade Game Jam )〕 Jammers enlist either solo or in teams, or can also enlist as graphics or sound "floaters", lending their skills to a number of different teams, who sign up for their services on a waiting list. While the majority of participants attend the event in person, recent jams have accommodated virtual jammers due to space limitations and geographical distance—although attendees are not limited to Torontonians and have included Americans and Finnish participants.〔
Unlike other game jams, TOJam is not a competition, but is rather a weekend of intense focus during which game developers can pour their attention into a single project, with the goal of producing a finished, playable game by the end of the weekend. From the official kick-off Friday evening, jammers have a scant 48 hours to complete their games before the event draws to a close, and participants display their games for an informal Sunday night showcase.
