Game Jam. Oh god, Game Jam.
Game Jam was so cool, I’m going to go every year forever. In the aforementioned Jam, you (and a bunch of cool strangers) get 48 hours to make a game. That includes coding, testing, art, music (and hopefully) sleep and showering. It’s rough, but every team managed to make something that could objectively be referred to as a game. I love little games made by small teams, they tend to ooze with character, as I imagine independent films do (why do movies have to take so long?).
So, here’s our game. It involves skydiving out of a plane, destroying everyone’s luggage with a big industrial chainsaw while you look for the one parachute amidst the falling wreckage. Here’s the link – I think you’ll like it.
I’m going to Comic Con this weekend, mainly because the Penny Arcade guys are there. Maybe I’ll run into you.
