24 Hour Game Jam 4pm Fri 12 June - 5 or 6pm Sat 13 June 2015
At 4pm Thursday individuals with an interest in game art (2D and 3D), audio, programming, and design will gather together to hear the theme and constraints around which they must build teams and then build a game. Come as individuals and form your team on the spot with the help of some social exercises. Participants will be students and professionals alike. Four computer labs will be open around the clock for teams to plan and implement their games. Coffee and snacks will be provided. At 4pm Saturday, exhausted but triumphant teams will present their accomplishments and share their sorrows in the main theatre.
Recruiters are being steered towards the Game Jam as a chance to see potential employees, artists, designers, programmers, etc in action. So this will be your chance to network and to shine.
When registering, please note the Game Jam as one of your interests if you are planning to either participate or just look in and see what is going on.
