[CSENews] [Spartasoft Game Jam]

[Teresa Isela VanderSloot]

Spartasoft will be holding a Game Jam competition this weekend for all

that are interested.  Teams of 1 to 4 people will have 48 hours (all 48 
hours do not have to be spent creating the game, sleep is recommended) 
to create a computer game that will be judged by Jared Riley of Hero 
Interactive and Brian Winn, Professor of Game Design at MSU. 

If you are interested in making a game and want a group to work with 
there will be a group making meeting at Bubble Island (515 E Grand River 
Ave) which is right next to Peanut Barrel and across the street from 
Berkey Hall at 7PM on Thursday, November 8th.  There, yourself and 
others can compare talents and form a group to make a great game.  If 
you cannot make it to this event and are looking for a group e-mail 
gamejam at gmail.com and we will try our best to set you up with a team to 
work with.

The competition will start Friday, November 9th at 6PM and go until 
Sunday, November 11th at 6PM at which point your games will then be 
judged.  The award ceremony will be at roughly 7PM in RM 161 of the Comm 
Arts Bldg.  Prizes will be awarded to the top game in each category.


Prize Categories:

Best Use of Theme (the theme is holidays, and by that we mean any holiday)
Most Innovative
Best of Show


If you are interested in competing and have a team formed or are working 
by yourself make sure to e-mail gamejam at gmail.com by 10PM on Friday with 
your team's, name, and members.  Submission requirements will be sent by 
e-mail to those who registered their team.  There is no required area 
that the design of the game must take place but 242 of the Comm Arts 
Bldg. has a lot of programs installed that can assist in the design of 
your games.

If you have any questions please e-mail gamejam at gmail.com
