12hr (a game jam)

the fun starts here!

So I was thinking about all the cool creative people here in Northern Virginia, and wondering what would happen if I brought everyone together in a single place to jam. On games.

I’m expecting the house to implode with awesome.

As with most game development jams, there’s some sort of underlying theme to 12hr. I figured why not take it further, and make the theme a game as well.

Every person will be randomly assigned a theme from a hat (be it EXPANSION, NEGATIVE, MINIMALIST, SPACE, DINOSAURS or what have you). However, if people wish to collaborate, their game must then fulfill the thematic assignments of everyone working on the game. Hopefully this will yield in interesting collaborations, and even more interesting games!

Snacks/beer will be provided, but you’ll have to bring your own tools (laptops, graphics tablets, mice etc). Also, feel free to invite other people - the more the merrier!
