The Progressive Game Jam (PGJ) is back for its twelfth season — and we’re more excited than ever to help local developers build awesome games and connect with a thriving community of creators.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned dev, PGJ gives you the tools, time, and team to actually finish a game. Each month on the third Saturday, we’ll gather for structured, supportive in-person jam sessions where you’ll:
Set development goals and track your progress
Get feedback from other local developers
Learn from guest speakers and industry pros
Showcase your game at public events like CCS
PGJ Season 12 is your chance to bring your game to fruition — with the support of the Sacramento game dev community behind you. Returning games are welcome!

Playtesting Day
2025-10-25 11:30 - 15:30 | Galaxy Game Cafe, 7700 Sunrise Blvd Suite 1900, Citrus Heights, 95610, United States
Developers can set up at a table and have customers at the café play their game and provide feedback. It’s a great chance to get real-world testing and build community interest! Your game can be digital or analog, whether it’s an early prototype, a nearly finished build, or even a board/card game.
For players, this is your chance to try out games before anyone else! You’ll get to sit down with the developers, playtest their creations, and share your thoughts on what works and what could be even better.
If you’re interested in showcasing your game, sign up here: https://forms.gle/aVybWdTpgXzVRsE76
We’ll reach out to confirm availability and details. Spots may be limited, so grab yours early and be part of the fun!
