Think you could create a fully functioning video game in 48 hours? The guys at Game Jam do, and we believe them. Game Jam is an admirable initiative where small teams of independent developers gather to conceive, and then create, a game in 48 hours – and it’s happening this weekend in Sydney.
It may have only opened in Brisbane this March, but the Mana Bar – Australia’s first bar dedicated to video games – is about to spread its message of games and booze to the rest of the world.
Just one of the 1229 photos of the weekend’s R18+ games rally now up on the Epic Zombie Marchmarch Facebook page.
The future of what, we can only guess. But if you head along to the return of Byteside in Sydney tonight, you’ll be able to find out for yourself.
At the Game Jam Sydney over the weekend indie developers were tasked with creating a game in 48 hours. Designer Glen Forrester (aka Radix, aka the guy who let us see Zelda in first-person) won the award for Most Original Game and you can see/hear why in this clip.
If you’re in or around the city of Sydney this weekend, you should drop by the Powerhouse Museum to check out its Retro Gaming Weekend program.
Sydney-siders who want to show their support for an R18+ classification for games should head to the Queen Victoria Building today for a public rally.
