I'm going to be on top of the ball this time and actually update my blog as stuff happens! This time, I'll be blogging about my experience at this year's Global Game Jam. The Global Game Jam is an event that takes place worldwide, where sites around the world host a game jam at roughly the same time as everyone else who's participating. Jammers have about 48 hours to complete a game and submit it online for the world to see. Last year there was a theme and some constraints, as well as some fun achievements for jammers to shoot for. As far as I know, there aren't any constraints this year, just a theme and optional achievements.
Anyways, the WPI Global Game Jam site will be in the IMGD Lab and we will begin at 5:00PM tonight. I've already talked to someone about a game jam idea (one that sort of fell through last term) so hopefully we'll be able to crank it out and put it online by Sunday! I'll be writing a new blog post each day of the game jam to detail what we got accomplished and hopefully have a playable game on my portfolio by the last post.
