4 days to create a game

The national landscape, inspired by nature and culture.

With a relaxed, good-spirited atmosphere.

What is ProtoKoli?

In the spirit of game jams, everyone is welcome to participate. Signing up for volunteering is highly appreciated!

Developing a game prototype together, in 4 days.

Focused devving and relaxing in nature, walking in the forest, swimming in the clear water lake. Enjoying togetherness and informal learning.

Inspired by the national landscapes and nature of Koli, combined with the surprise theme of Game Maker’s Toolkit Jam 2024

On this first Protokoli, we’ll be 9-12 people in one cabin. Be one of the pioneers!

By 11th of August, we decide if we need to rent more similar cottages next to this one.

We’ll take turns in cooking food for all.

With electricity, sauna and 50 meters to the lake, that is still warm in August.
