Global Game Jam

This is what I did this weekend! This event was awesome--God willing, I'm looking forward to attending many more! You don't even have to be in a group/studio/whatever to go--just sign up and participate! You can go in predetermined groups or join a group you meet when you get there! 

Long Story Short: You're given a theme and based on that theme, you create a game in the course of 48 hours. The intent isn't to make a completed game so much as it's to 1) Learn, 2) Network, and 3) Have Fun!

The best part is that there were people participating all over the world--just about every continent had people doing this! All of the games are free source so you can even learn about/play the games that were done for this year and the years prior. Check out the game I did some of the art for!
