An annual gaming event – helmed from Wrexham Glyndwr University by its multi-award winning Computer Game Development team – is set to return later this month with a new twist.
The Global Game Jam is a regular fixture in the calendar at Wrexham Glyndwr University, which is the longest-participating game jam representative in Wales.
Registration for this year’s event, which will start on Friday Jan 29 and run through until Sun 31, is now open.
The goal of the jam is to bring people together and attempt to make a game from start to finish within a strict 48 hour period. Jams emphasise teams working with new people from different backgrounds to encourage creative thinking – and hopefully, at the end of the event, result in small – but innovative and experimental – games.
