Global Game Jam 2010 registration opens
Registration for the 2010 Global Game Jam will begin this Saturday, November 21, allowing those interested in securing their spot at one of more than 90 locations worldwide. The 2010 GGJ will take place January 29-31, 2010 and is expected to eclipse last year’s success which saw 1,650 participants across 23 countries and 54 venues.
Global Game Jam is an interesting competition where creative types team up to create games in a short amount of time and then share them with the community. It’s fun stuff and exciting to watch – let alone participate in.
Chances are there’s a location that is in your general vicinity if you want to participate or just stop by to see all the magic happen first-hand; for example, there’s one location in Albany, NY and another in Troy, Ny – both about an hour away from where I live – and another location in New York City, should any of the Crispy Gamer staff want to check it out.
