PEGJam and SUPER BUSKER

So let’s get one thing straight. PEGJam 2.0 was incredible, and I highly encourage anyone looking to attend in the years to come to set aside the time to do so. Despite roasting in quite possibly 40°C+ conditions, the talent was so densely packed in this room that you could stir it with a spoon.

Moving on. As you probably know the purpose of these here ‘Jam’ thingies is to create something new, awesome and fun. There were lots of incredible entries and I encourage you to find them … somehow. I’m not exactly sure how, there’s no central PEGJam game listing.  Alas.

SUPER BUSKER is my contribution to the madness. It puts you in the shoes of a panhandler trying to earn his way to the very top of the busker income ranks. Look for this to show up on a portal of some kind soon.

Game Jam for Developers, Artists, Designers..

Are you Canadian? Are you interested in spending a day or two with a bunch of other wild and crazy Canadians who like to make games? No? Then don’t go here:

For the rest of us, it’s an excellent opportunity to network, socialize and of course improve game development skills. I don’t know if I can make this particular one, but there is another coming up soon in Winnipeg (sometime in May.) Whether you’re an accomplished programmer or a total neophyte designer, it’s a good experience.
