4/14 Meeting: The Semester’s Last Jam Showcase

Hello Everyone,

We’ve made it to the this semester’s last game jam showcase. You’ve all worked hard and studied hard for this last game jam – now, it’s time to celebrate it! Talk about your game or try out games designed by other members. All the games developed over this weekend will get a chance to present their game to the club. If you’d like others to play your game while you talk about it, make sure to submit it as early as possible so the officers have time to put your game on the website to download. If you’ve got time between studying and testing to join, we’d love for you to drop by!

See you there!

Game Jam 2: Electric Boogaloo

Hello Everyone,

Our last game jam of the semester is this weekend! We’ll be having a meeting this Wednesday (4/7) from 7:00- 8:30 PM EST to reveal the theme. Group searches specifically made for this game jam will be made available on Discord at the start of our theme reveal. We will be having a daily meeting on Saturday and Sunday to give a chance for people to observe other people’s projects for inspiration and ask for advice. Remember, communication is key! You are not expected to be there for the full duration of the game jam but, you should tell your teammates when you can or cannot work on the project. Coordinating your efforts will be key to finishing your game in time.

See you there!
