Anyone participating, or hosting a GGJ event?

We'll be hosting a jam here at PlaygroundSquad

Looking forward to a fun event!

Martin Henriksson · Jan 2010

Soo how does this work? Can anyone go to one of the locations on that site and participate ? Looking around that site i notice this: openlocation: not open , on all the swedish jam locations so i guess not!

Sounds cool anyway!

ivars · Jan 2010

Maybe I can hook you up with an invitation

Martin Henriksson · Jan 2010

wooo!

kwakkie · Jan 2010

@martin I believe signup is closed since a wekk or so

I am going to the Dutch one in Utrecht, any other polycounters there?

jerry · Jan 2010

Present in Antwerp, Belgium. Will probably be fairly small.

@Kwakkie, I think that the registration window isn't fixed but just determined per venue / country.

EarthQuake · Jan 2010

We've got one in iowa. http://globalgamejam.org/sites/iowa-game-dev-friendship-club

I may show up just to get drunk and rub my butt on people.

bounchfx · Jan 2010

Did this last year with a couple other vv'ers. was a lot of fun. I plan on participating again this year.

I encourage others to give it a shot!

Richard Kain · Jan 2010

Damn it! There are no sponsors in Arizona!? Curse our puny game development presence.

Flava-Fly · Jan 2010

I might go to utrecht, if I can force some friends to go with me hehe.

Justin Meisse · Jan 2010

the DC Metro IDGA chapter is looking for a venue:

The DC chapter is coming back to life if you're in the area I urge joining up, I think the reason is the involvement of people in the government/military simulation industry.

Tulkamir · Jan 2010

I'll be over at the Vancouver Jam again as a Mentor/Judge, pretending I actually know what I'm doing.

Any other Vancouverites going to be out?

Utrecht is full (for now, they are apparently looking for a bigger venue), you will be put on a waitinglist. http://ggj2010.ning.com/

John Warner · Jan 2010

OOOooooo tempting.

they have one in Halifax. I'll talk to some of the guys at work and see who's interested.

maybe, maybe not. Giving 'er like that on a weekend will most likely burn me the fuck out.

pliang · Jan 2010

I know a couple of guys who are participating who I'd really want to work with but damn thing happens the same time I'm attending Spark FX as well as a workshop I've got organized.

East coast US Deadlines coming up. Anyone feeling the pressure =D?

Xenobond · Jan 2010

Yeah, we've got some stuff done. Made 5 animals for a 3d rugby like game. Wer'e all uploading our gams.

bounchfx · Jan 2010

just got home from it. was pretty fun, but not everything was implemented, god damn flash. I think only 15% of my art got in.

Xenobond · Jan 2010

TorqueFAIL

Firebert · Feb 2010

Snow storm kept me out of the action this year.... sucks ass.

ivars · Feb 2010

ivars · Feb 2010

What did you guys make? Please share

jerry · Feb 2010

We made a game where you are controlling a monkey that "works" for the CIA. Instead of pressing keys to make him walk and jump you have to actually program him.
So you type:
> Walk(5);
> JumpOn();
> execute

And the monkey will go through your level

There are alot more commands at your diposal, some are not completely implemented or shown in the level though. Like: FlipOff(); FlingPoop(); CaffeineRush();

We used unity3d so we got alot of stuff done pretty quickly. We were happy with how it turned out.

GGJ was a blastie!

Gannon · Feb 2010

Yeah we had a lot of fun. We had like 8 teams 130 ish people total at our site. Our team had a lot of issues at the beginning getting some exporting to work. Only one person new the engine we decided to go with. Not complete but we're may keep going and revamp the project to continue. lots of stuff had to be cut last minute.

@Adam_Atomic

your new game rocks BIG TIME. We just had a blast playing it. highly recommended! Search for "Puji"

Our game didnt make it to the desired product, lot of techical stuff, we have a nice leveleditor as well. however, there is no working version out but a Art dump will follow!

EmAr · Feb 2010

I couldn't manage to attend this but my city developed many games too

I sure will try harder to arrange time for ggj next year:
