Jamlytics
< Game Jam Analytics />
What is Jamlytics?
Jamlytics is built on three core pillars:
- The Community
- The Projects
- The Jam Guidance
Why the name "Jamlytics"?
Jamlytics is a blend of "Jam" (as in Game Jam) and "Analytics."
It began as a simple tool to track your game jam submission's ranking on Itch.io's "Most Popular" list. Over time, it grew into a full suite of tools to help analyze, understand, and celebrate every part of the game jam experience.
The Community
Our community lives primarily on Discord - a friendly, welcoming space full of some of the coolest people you'll ever meet.
We hang out, host voice-chat streams, break code for fun, poke at systems, share code, and generally get up to all sorts of shenanigans.
