The Science Gallery, at Pearse Street and Trinity College Dublin, is the venue for a one day Games Jam on Saturday June the 19th from 9.30am. There is room for 40 people. More details below.
**********************
During the games jam you are invited to make a game of your own in less than 7 hours. This event is open to professional, independent, hobbyist and college game developers with talent who want to express themselves through the medium of games development. We hope that people will take this opportunity to collaborate and mingle with fellow developers in this burgeoning independent scene.
After the early introductions, the “theme” for the day will be announced and participants can start designing, coding or drawing their game ideas. We encourage experimentation, daring and collaboration. You are free to work solo or in a group, you can make use of whatever tools you wish and you should bring your own laptop.
Early tea/coffee will be supplied and the cafeteria is open all day. At the end of the day you can take a well earned break and enjoy a drink of wine while checking out the other amazing gems created on the day.
Tickets 10 euros. Seat, Table, Wireless internet and power supplied. You bring the skills, laptop and ideas. For further info please contact info@theshindig.org and you can get tickets from http://www.sciencegallery.com/events/2010/06/shindig-summer-games-jam
