Last weekend was huuuge... Like... Crazy...

So crazy that we decided to dedicate a weeknight to celebrate how crazy and awesome it was. What are we talking about? The Global Game Jam of course!

IGDA Scotland will be hosting a fabulous GGJ Play Party, and we want YOU - the developers and participants to come along and have a bit of fun sharing and discussing this year's blowout line up of games. We had two Jam sites in Scotland with over 130 participants making 26 games in 48 hours.

This is amazing showcase of work done by the game development community in Scotland and just shows what you can do in such a short space of time. Join us, play some games, discuss the highs and lows of taking part in the Game Jam!

Hosted By

IGDA Scotland



 

The IGDA (International Games Developers Association) is exactly what the name suggests: a collection of game developers. It brings the global community together through conferences, local chapters, and special interest groups.

 

And in Scotland in the past, IGDA membership probably hasn’t offered you much. Hopefully the existence of a local chapter will help to change that.

 

Forming an IGDA chapter in Scotland rather than arranging an independent meetup has a number of benefits:

 

 

  • Increased recognition for Scottish developers internationally through the IGDA.
  • The chance to learn from and communicate with other chapters, including the six others in the UK.
  • Ease of access for new members and developers new to the country.
  • Separation from any one individual, to ensure the group can continue into the future.

 

We propose the creation of an IGDA chapter in Scotland to keep developers across the country in contact through monthly meetups, to help promote existing events, and to represent the country internationally in the IGDA. And we want you to join us.
