Another Year, Another Awesome Jam
The 2013 St. Louis Global Game Jam is in the bag.
A big thank you to UMSL and the rest of our sponsors! We had about 130 attendees and made 21 games in one weekend.
The global theme for this year was “the sound of a beating heart”. Until they’re added to this site (probably next week), you can find the games that came out of St. Louis right here:

Worldwide, we blew past every record from last year. From 47 countries to 63 countries. From 10,000 participants to 16,000; and instead of making 2200 games, we made 3000! There were 320 sites around the world, of which the St. Louis location was one of the largest, 19th overall in the world, and fifth largest in the United States!
The facilities at UMSL were fantastic. Everything from WiFi to security went totally smoothly, and everyone on staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more.
A huge thank you to everyone that helped make the event a success, and we’ll see you all on April 26-28 at Simutronics for the next St. Louis Game Jam!
