Microsoft is teaming up with Playcrafting SF to present Tool Jam to bring you a hackathon to create helpful software tools for game developers. Developers of all backgrounds face the same technical roadblocks and challenges. It may be as simple as common repetitive tasks that could be automated, or as innovative as a new SDK that will become the industry standard for AR/VR development. Instead of creating a prototype or pitching a concept, this event will bring together top-tier developers to create tools that will help people immediately. The event is primarily aimed for developers, but individuals interesting in designers, artists, and other folks who can help create game development tools are also welcome. The aim is design things to help the game developers of today!
