Global Game Jam @ Noisebridge! (Soft Opening)
Details
ABOUT THE EVENT
Come make a game with us in a short amount of time! For those not "in the know", a game jam is a hackathon, where participants are tasked with making a game! It can be a videogame or really ANY kind of game!
At 6PM on Sunday the 19th, AND on Friday the 24th (see separate meetup event, for those who can only jam during the weekend), we will show the theme announcement video. There will be a short team forming session afterwards. Bring whatever skills you have, whether that is coding, art, game design, audio, writing, or whatever else! I will bring food and beverages each time - Please RSVP so I can get a head count for that and message me with any dietary restrictions!
9PM Sunday is usually cinema night at Noisebridge - We will do a special screening of Indie Game: The Movie for the game jam. Until then, and during, we can do some prototyping and brainstorming around the space!
After you RSVP here, please also register on the global game jam website to participate in the event! https://globalgamejam.org/jam-sites/2025/noisebridge
The Jam ENDS on Sunday the 26th at 6pm PST. At which time we will re-convene and present our game creations to the whole group!
