Global Game Jam
The Global Game Jam is an international Hands-On Game Festival which
takes place in over 100 cities world
wide on just one weekend. The
participants will produce experimental computer games which will be uploaded
to the main GGJ website at the end of the weekend. From there everyone
can download and play the games.
The Global Game Jam is a wonderful opportunity for participants to
expand their horizons, challenge themselves, and meet new people. Right
away you will start developing a finished game with strangers who share
the same passion as you in just two days. At the end you are
tired but happy.
Watch
the 2009 GGJ Keynote video on Youtube (jump to minute 1:40) and get
inspired by Kyle Gabler
(World of
Goo) and other Indie Developers.
In Germany this event is taking place in:
Berlin (this site), Bremen, Cologne, Munich and Nuremberg
