Dear GGJ fans,
GGJ is the largest jam in the world. We are expected to break 25,000 participants in January 2015, as we get ready to do this for the seventh time. In honor of that milestone, here are a few things you can do to support Global Game Jam now.
It's almost time to plan for GGJ 2015. Are you ready? Here are some important dates to keep in mind.
October 1, 2014: End of the early-bird sponsorship special
October 4, 2014: globalgamejam.org open to accept new jam site applications
Innovation, Experimentation, Collaboration - jam galore!
Faust Li, an active and enthusiastic GGJ organizer from Taiwan passed away earlier this year. Faust was a veteran organizer of multiple Global Game Jams (including GGJ 2014) and a participant in many more. He was instrumental in expanding the GGJ footprint in Taiwan from one to four sites, and facilitated collaboration between Taiwanese and Japanese game devs. He also helped revive IGDA Taiwan.
The GGJ community lost a great friend and a model organizer. The following article is a heartfelnt account of Faust Li's contributions written by Johnson Lin (of igdshare and IGDA Taiwan) who also translated it to English for us. Please read the full article.
