About this event
Game Jams are opportunities for intensive interaction design work, combined with playful user experience. This year we partnered with Accelerator again to host a co-located Global Game Jam site in Shoreditch. We linked with GameDevLondon - a massive community of London game developers - and invited special guests Alex Whittaker, Tech Director for Flavourworks and Tiziano Mosca, CEO at Project AR, with his team, who have previously worked with our games students to test their AR apps.
The Global Game Jam is an opportunity for collaborative game design and development, hosted around the world simultaneously in over 600 different sites. It typically runs for 48h, from Friday evening at 5pm through to Sunday afternoon, when teams must upload their games. After the Friday evening live opportunity at Accelerator, we all moved online to Discord, using a dedicated community server that enabled people to work together over the rest of the weekend. Feedback from the games students who attended was very positive.
