For the 4th time the TU will host a Global Game Jam, this time jointly organized by the CG and AR group. Join us for 48h of coffee-fueled game development!
We will kick off the game jam on Friday afternoon with a short introduction at 16:00, followed by an industry-lead brainstorming session and team finding (this will be streamed on Discord for participation from @home). During the brainstorming session, you can exchange ideas with the other participants and then join a group based on which idea you enjoy most. There is no need to already be part of an existing group, please feel encouraged to join as a single person as well :)
The official jam time will start at 17:00. During the jam, we have to leave the university building at night, but otherwise you can work in our provided rooms, or from home and communicate via our discord server. Snacks and coffee will be available on-site, as well as breakfast and lunch on Sunday. We can also borrow equipment (displays, PCs with modern graphics cards, VR hardware).
We are excited to include industry talks during the Game Jam to give participants valuable insights into real-world applications:
15:00 - PGDA Talent Award 2025, Simon Schneider, PGDA
15:15 - Games against Math anxiety: 3rd OER gamejam, edventure Studios
15:30 - Asymmetric Asynchronous Multiplayer, Boris Asenov
At the end, we will set up a short presentation round followed by a playtest, so you can check out the work of the other groups.
Time: 24.-26.01.2025, starting at 4 pm on Friday
Place: EI 8 Pötzl Lecture Hall, Gußhausstraße 27-29, 1040 Wien
