“Don’t just make a game. Make us laugh — hard.”
Hey everyone, I’m Rob, a professional working full-time game developer / Gameplay Programmer with over 3 years of experience working on projects like Warzone with Activision, and building games in both Unreal Engine and Unity. Currently on unreal engine.
I created the Make Me Laugh Game Jam because I believe that humor is one of the most underrated design tools in game development, it brings joy, surprise, and teaches us how to connect with players emotionally.
Throughout this jam, I’ll not only be reviewing and critiquing submissions, but also giving constructive feedback to help you grow as a developer. My goal is simple: To help you laugh, learn, and level up. Both as a creator and as an individual.
Whether you’re a beginner experimenting with your first project, or a seasoned game developer looking for creative release, this jam is for you. Let’s make something funny, playable, and unforgettable.
