For the seventh time, the University of Aveiro hosted the Global Game Jam – the largest game creation event in the world, involving thousands of participants (jammers) from more than 100 countries, which this year took place .
Organised by teachers and students from the Master’s in Digital Games Development (MDJD), this year’s edition – which took place at the Complexo das Ciências da Comunicação e Imagem (CCCI) and was supported by the DeCA, DigiMedia and IT Telecommunications Institute – had more than 40 participants, including students from DeCA, DeTI and IPCA (among others).
Before the game creation marathon, the participants had the chance to take part in a vast programme of workshops in the fields of multimedia, arts and IT. At the end of the marathon, 13 projects were presented at the CCCI of the Department of Communication and Art. The games developed are available for free download at https://globalgamejam.org/group/714/games.
