Starting around the world at 5pm in every time-zones, Global GameJams are happening. Streams are going live, people are tweeting and everyone is making agmes. From France to Australia to Canada to Finland and everywhere in between the world is making games. Here in Wollongong, we have a total of eight teams, some single man teams others with 5 people working on ten screens with very little sleep.

 

A full write up will be available on Monday about my experience and a short film will be online some time in February about the experience. For live updates, look for the hashtag #GGJ12 on Twitter or simply keep up wth gamejam.be/livewall.

 

The competition has been running for several years now and this year had celebrity speakers including The Sims creator, Will Wright, Doom King, John Romero who all spoke about the theme (which I currently cannot reveal) and what it means to be a game developer.
