Game Jams

• Jams are cool
• A jam is basically when you create a game in a limited time, based on a given theme and/or rule
• We wanted to create a jam
• We created one

Epic Game Jam

• Developers (you always get plenty of those easily)
• Designers (those are hard to get, but precious)
• Sound Designers (those are loved by everyone)
• Game Designers? Coffee Makers? Slaves?

Epic Game Jam

• 45 hours
• 1 main theme
• a bazilion of random shitty subthemes
• useless epic points to win

Epic Game Jam

• You don't pay anything
• You eat for free
• You sleep for free
• You drink for free
• You don't pay anything
• You enjoy the epic weekend

Epic Game Jam

It will happen again!
