Oculus planning VR game jam with IndieCade

One of the most interesting booths at the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show in early June was IndieCade’s collection of games from independent developers. A big part of the appeal was the station that hosted the Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset.

Now, Oculus and IndieCade are officially teaming up for a worldwide game-jam event. A game jam is when a bunch of developers get together to build a game from scratch in a short amount of time based on a theme. The VR Jam, as Oculus is calling it, will last for three weeks starting Aug. 2, and the theme is virtual reality.
