[game_edu] The Global Game Jam

[Enda Dunican]

Dear Susan

 

We have been running Ireland's first games development course for the
past number of years.  I see from your website that you do not have an
Irish host as of yet. I was just wondering how much work has to be done
at the local venue? How is the supervision done remotely etc? I look
forward to hearing from you.

 

Regards

 

Enda

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Global Game Jam website is
up http://globalgamejam.org and we are adding host sites daily (at some
point soon I will have to stop, but the demand is huge). You can see we
have numerous prestigious studios and institutions from all over the
world ready to host this great project in creativity and innovation.
Please encourage your students, friends and peers to sign-up. We expect
over 1500 people (pros and and novices in games) to be designing &
developing video games in this world wide  events. It is 48 hours in a
unique idea space the weekend of January 30th through February 1st,
2009. Constraints and mechanics are being developed by some of the
greatest minds in the industry. Afterwards the GGJ concludes we will
host the games on our site so that everyone can play them. We will also
have an entire afternoon devoted to the project at GDC this year. 

Please contact me if you have any questions, 

Susan
