• What we’ll do
The GGJ brings together talented individuals from within our local can extended communities. It is a unique opportunity for people to push their skills and challenge their way of working under a crunched time-frame. Participants work concurrently with developers around the globe; we rally around a central theme, and then have 48 hours to create a game. It’s our hope that we will see some very experimental yet realized prototypes that you can continue to work on after the jam. Many games developed in previous Game Jams have become fully realized games. The GGJ is an open source event in both hardware & software agnostic and all projects are protected under a Creative Commons license. We encourage people to try out new ideas and push themselves, within reason. We also strongly encourage participants to remember to eat and sleep (even while at home), to stay at their best!
• What to have at home
Computers, Stable Internet, Creativity
