Designing Fresh Gaming Experiences in Two Days: University of Bremen Hosts Global Game Jam Event
Ready for a Fun-Filled Game Development Weekend at the University of Bremen?
This January 24-26, get ready to unleash your creativity and immerse yourself in the Global Game Jam (GGJ) — a thrilling, 48-hour marathon of game development! The Digital Media Lab at the University of Bremen is organizing the global event, and everyone with a passion for games is invited.
What is Global Game Jam?
The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is a worldwide, simultaneous venture where individuals from various backgrounds come together to dream up, design, and develop a computer or board game within 48 hours. The magic kicks off when a hush-hush theme is unveiled at the beginning of the event, which participants must incorporate into their game projects. There are also some contest rules that could earn you extra points during the evaluation phase.
A Celebration of Creativity, Not Coding Experience
Worried about your coding skills? Fret not! Participants at the GGJ don't necessarily need game development experience. What truly matters is your creativity and enthusiasm—the rest can be learned along the way!
Brainstorm, Develop, and Play Together
The emphasis at the Global Game Jam is on camaraderie, collaboration, and fun. While a competition does transpire at the end, everyone is encouraged to enjoy the process of ideation, creation, and play. You can form your teams in advance or join existing ones on the day of the event.
