oculus rift vr jam game jam

Last week Oculus, in conjunction with IndieCade, announced the VR Jam, a virtual reality game design competition for Oculus Rift developers. Today marks the beginning of the competition, which will run through August 25th. All developers worldwide are welcome to join and vie for their share of $50,000 in prizes.

Our community is filled with many talented developers and we’d hate to have them miss out on the Oculus Rift VR Jam, hence this friendly reminder!

Participants are challenged to build the most innovative virtual reality games and experiences designed specifically for the Oculus Rift. Each grand prize winner receives a $10,000 cash prize, a trip to demo their game at IndieCade Festival 2013, and an invitation to visit Oculus HQ to meet the Oculus team.

Find all of the details and rules of the Oculus Rift VR Jam over at the official page. Good luck to all — we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
