Global Game Jam Van 2016 Kick-off Party!

GGJ15

GGJ Vancouver 2015!

Last year, our very own Josh Nilson (CEO) noticed an odd trend when stopping by the Global Game Jam Vancouver; there was a serious lack of local studio involvement.

This year, we’re extremely proud to see that nearly the entire list of sponsors for the event are Vancouver Game Dev studios. Including us.

We wanted to throw a shindig to thank the sponsors, and give mingling time for anyone participating in this weekend’s game jam at the University of British Columbia’s Life Sciences building. Luckily, we got the opportunity to thank this year’s sponsors personally, and introduce a ton of Jammers to industry vets. There was a whirlwind of ideas, and laughs.

It’s easy to see why we put things like this together.
