I got to do the Global Game Jams again!

I did it with a bunch of wonderful devs, and made one of best Game Jams I’ve been a part of. I’m so proud of us!

It’s a diving game about exploring a dead site with old msgs spread throughout. :D

Your First Global Game Jam: Tips from a Student Games Programmer

The following blog is not either proofread or sponsored by any kind. You can find me on Twitter (or X) or LinkedIn if you want to contact me.

Are you going to your first Global Game Jam this weekend? Maybe it's not your first, but interested in my title? I have always attended them during my undergraduate at Wrexham University. I remember feeling overwhelmed on the first night of the first year, thinking I had to create a good game in 48 hours in a team, but you don't have to. Only matters: Participating and having fun.

I am an aspiring game programmer passionate about the game industry and one of the Grads in Games student ambassadors, too. I recently heard about Anything World from Into Games Discord server - Anything World was hosting a month-long game jam, a 3D Animation and Automated Rigging platform powered by Machine Learning. Unlimited 3D models for games, apps and the metaverse. You can import your 3D models, which will automatically animate and rig it.

Dan, I don't have a model; what can I do? There are AI-Generated images websites called CSM and Luma, where you can get free 3D models which Anything World support models from and download these and put into the Anything World website then use for your jam submission.

You are a 3D artist, so you got all your models and rigging sorted? I have general ideas, but sadly, they are not on the programming side of the jam; I highly recommend you use Unreal to make a 3D game or Unity to make a 2D game. If you want to create a 2D game, there is Pixabay, which is good for free-to-use 2D images, and there is also a music / sound section. However, I often use freesound.org for my audio.

That's it; I wanted to write on a Thursday afternoon in between my university masters work. I wish you the very best of luck with the jam.

#gmtk2023 submission! Based on the theme reversal, my team made a game where rat scientists have put humans in an obstacle course, and it’s you’re job to get them through it!

Took this chance to try the VRC6 sound chip and went for a high energy, squeaky piece.

Heyyyy guys, I'm not dead! Sorry this has taken so long. And thank you for staying here so far ♥ This is not entirely my work, since all background assets were actually made by @yaribethvt and I only did the main character, but I still wanted to share them with you! These are fake screenshots from the game we made for the Global Game Jam 2023, which we didn't actually got to finish, (so I cannot share a link for you to play. sorry!) but since we finished all the visuals, I wanted to arrange something to show off! This was my first experience in a GGJ (I think you can tell), but it was a GREAT experience and I hope to participate on the next one too! ♥ The game was a simple platformer about a Dryad who protected the forests from human destruction! Special thanks to our favorite producer @marialuisadfg , who did everything to make this possible, from organizing the group to searching for the sounds of the game to bring us warm tea when we couldn't sleep due to work! #ggj #ggj2023 #globalgamejam #globalgamejam2023 #gamedev #conceptart https://www.instagram.com/p/CqA9DqzgrRM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shenandoah 2023 Global Game Jam. Had fun working with talented musicians, programmers, and artists! Was a crazy journey learning the FDS sound chip in two days. Tons of cool submissions from everyone.

The theme for the 2023 GGJ was ‘Roots.’ Play as farmer Joe and stand against the Veggiepocalypse!

i recruited a few pals, @skuitti​ among them, to join me in the finnish game jam this weekend and this is what we made. try it in the link above!!!

in the game you are a mushroom guy who has to keep the local microecosystem functioning by assigning smaller mushroom guys to tasks in order to connect the roots of the nearby trees

wasd to move, click on the store page to buy more little helper guys, click on the icons that appear around the map to assign your guys to the tasks. you get hp and nutrience points when you finish a task. hp goes down every second there is an unattended task. play in fullscreen mode, since the UI doesn’t scale

Stopped by the MICA Game Lab's Global Game Jam site to say hi! 👋

We didn't participate this year because Ash needed some time after losing her grandma, but in hearing all the GGJ discourse among friends, we needed to visit! 💗 Good luck, jammers! 🥳 Can't wait to see what you all make! 🤩

Thanks for hanging out with us!
