Game Jam
Are you ready to push yourself to the limit, flex your brain, drop your pants and reach for the sky? The Extended Play Game Jam is where raw creativity reacts with extreme digital skills to explode and shower the world in face-melting interactive sickness. Grab a buddy or come alone and collaborate with some new friends in two days of intense game creation and technology hacking.
What is it?
The Extended Play Game Jam is a 2-day hack-a-thon for any game developers and artists wanting to flex their creative muscles and create something awesome in an intense period of game-creating action. It will be happening during the festival on both Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th, and is based in the NMA building, so participants can easily catch the other festival events throughout the Game Jam. Participants are welcome to develop existing projects and prototypes, or start something new on the day. A theme for the Game Jam will be unveiled on September 10th.
