The Global Game Jam has finished for another year, with over 950 games being created in a 48 hour period.
The Computer Science department hosted the event, one of three in New Zealand. On Friday evening the theme for the games was announced as"Deception", with additional constraints / sub-themes of 'Cakes, Snakes, Lakes'.
Approximately 15 people worked over the weekend to produce 3 finished games, which can be seen here.
The event is fantastic fun, and is a great test, not just of your programming or artistic skills, but also design, teamwork and project management. A special thank you to everyone involved in setting up and supporting the event. Some photos of the Game Jam can also be seen here.
