The Global Game Jam in Pittsburgh is currently underway! There are about 50 or so people participating at the Pittsburgh branch. Tracy Brown, a friend and colleague of mine, is running things and everything has been going quite smoothly so far. I'm not participating in the Game Jam this time around, but Edmundo and I might make a silly game while we're hanging around helping people who might have any questions.
I have to say spirits seemed pretty high yesterday; most people had come close to a game concept by around midnight or so, and they all seem pretty good! A few of them are having the "too many cooks (designers) in the kitchen"-problem which is leading to over-scoping, but hey, that's what game jams are all about, right?
I'll leave you with this gem of a Game Jam theme song that Brad Michael and Katelyn Mueller made.
