We hope that you’ve enjoyed the local developer interviews (recorded at our end-of-year party last year) that we’ve been releasing over the holiday period.
Keen local game developers will already know that our next event is a Perth site for Global Game Jam later this month (27-29 January). We currently have 21 registered game jammers (wow!) and are expecting a whole bunch more. If you haven’t yet signed up, you can do so on the Global Game Jam website.
Speaking of Global Game Jam, the official website has recently been updated with a trailer for the event (check out the link for more information on the speaker lineup!):
Ahhh the old halfway meltdown, where people frantically redo everything.
This looks like it would be awesome but I have no experience making games outside of uni. I am just a designer with no programming skills. I would love to join for the experience but am not sure if someone like me would be welcome.
You’d definitely be welcome! Game Jam is for artists and designers just as much as it is for programmers. Extra hands are always in demand. Just turn up keen to learn and create and you’ll find some way to help out. 😀
