UMSL is in! Rooms and equipment have been confirmed, and we’ll have even more space than GGJ 2012. Same building, but a lower floor. We’ll be posting more details and directions later. For now, mark your calendars for January 25-27, 2013. Official signups will be opening at globalgamejam.org around mid-November, and we’ll post here when that’s ready to go.

GGJ 2012 was a blast, as we participated as one team among hundreds around the world in 47 different countries. Together, we all made over 2200 games in one weekend, and made the Guinness Book of World Records! We’re looking to break our own record in 2013, so come join the fun!

If you’ve never been to a jam before, here’s how to prepare:

* Read the FAQ!

* Hone your skills, be ready to hit the ground running. Doesn’t matter if your skills are in code, design, art, sound, blogging, testing, project management, or anything else, there will be plenty to do.

* Spread the word! Get more people to attend, and also check if you know of someone that might be willing to help sponsor, so we can get cool t-shirts and plenty of sustenance for everyone.

Stay tuned for more info!
