Earlier this spring, we were happy to partner with the folks at [Gamedev.js](https://gamedevjs.com/jam/2021/) for their 2021 hackathon event focused exclusively on games! Gamedev.js Jam celebrates HTML5 games where participants build a web game within 13 days of the jam on a given theme; this years was Mirrors.
The IPFS and Filecoin projects put up $5000 in Filecoin into the prize pool for the Decentralization category. As it was the first time the event hosted this category, the community of game developers were seeing some of these technologies for the very first time. Popular tools used were [Fleek.co](http://fleek.co/) and Pinata for hosting of assets and data.
Decentralized technologies are a great fit for independent game developers: no commercial platform commitments or restrictions, your games can live on whether youre supporting them or not, no complex and costly back-end systems, and much of the infrastructure and bandwidth costs can be shifted to users and public networks like Ethereum or Layer 2 systems. Were excited to work with game devs to bring their experiences to web3!
