How it works

See GameJamCrew in Action

GameJamCrew centralizes team search, recruiting, and follow-up: browse or post listings, scout available jammers, then handle applications, invites, and notifications from one dashboard instead of scattered forums and Discord servers.

Below, seven previews walk the same journey end to end. Each mock matches a real screen in the app so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

Step 1: Search & filters

One place to start looking

Instead of hopping between forums and random Discord servers, you land here: search by jam, then filter teams by engine, role, experience, and language so the list matches what you actually need.

Step 2: Team listings

See who is recruiting

Each card surfaces the jam, engine, open roles, and how full the roster is. Dig into the full pitch when something fits, then apply from the same flow, with no wall of unstructured posts to parse.

Step 4: Find members

Scout available jammers

Turn it around: browse profiles from devs, artists, and audio folks who marked themselves available, with roles, engines, and bios. Invite the right person to a specific seat instead of cold-DMing strangers.

Step 6: Alerts

Don't miss a match

The notification bell pulls invites and applications into one list with an unread count, which helps when you are mid-crunch and do not want to lose a teammate because a ping got buried.

Step 7: Invite

Invite with a clear ask

Choose the role, add a short personal note, send. They get a proper invitation in their dashboard and can accept or decline in one step, which is clearer than a vague @everyone in a server nobody reads.
