I'll be in a Game Jam & Livestream this Friday

So me and a group of friends will be in a 48 hour game jam (Molyjam) starting Friday night. It takes place at IGN Headquarters!

From what I've been told, we'll be shown on a livestream (don't know when, there are other teams) while we try to slap together a game in 48 hours. We'll be showcasing our games Sunday night then post it sometime next week. So if you're interested stop on by sometime.

If that isn't motivating enough for you to come check it out, we'll be getting pretty crazy I WILL be getting pissed off.

I'll post a link to the jam once it's live.

if you give me a link to the stream, i can put it in the stream list - when a stream in the list goes live, people browsing the site are asked if they want to watch it.

Thanks, I'll post the link once I know what it is. I won't know until Friday afternoon.

I'm a tad jealous. My uni hosts a lot of game jams of varying levels, but what you're doing sounds like a step above that for sure.

Best of luck

rtil · July 6, 2013 05:58 AM

ah it's a twitch. i don't have the API for that (livestream only). but i will tune in if i'm around. should be anyway

Here's the scoop.

Apparently there's something wrong with IGN's wifi and it doesn't allow anyone to broadcast their live stream.

I wanted a live stream right at our table showing us making the game.

Here's a pic of our work station.

I'll still post the game once it's done, but we want to work on it even after the jam is over.
