BrisbaneGGJ 2016

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in todayís heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games ñ it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.

The Brisbane Global Game Jam site is proudly organised by truna (brIGDA) and Kieran Lord (Cratesmith). The venue is once again kindly donated by River City Labs. Come and join us and make some gorgeous games - remember, games can be digital, analog - why not a board game - and experimental.
