Super awesome guys. I thought I'd share the games made at the gamejam over here in St. Louis in case anyone was curious. I'm being totally honest when I say (and I think you will see) how awesome you all are. The STL site had a LOT of people, final count was around 80, with 13 attempted games (Perth pulled off 12).<div>
<br></div><div>We had a lot more students and non-professionals involved, but still. There are some good games that were made, but we have a ways to go to catch up to the quality to participant ratio you guys are running at. ;)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Although it has nothing to do with the theme (that I could tell) you should check out TowelFight, and Obelisk has good polish. The one that really struck my heart was He Who Ages, but that's because of the presentation the dude did who made the game, and without that I don't think it can even make sense. I wasn't on a team this year sadly, next year I hope to remedy that.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Great job everyone, I'll definitely play all these games, keep up the awesome work and I miss you guys!</div><div><br></div><div>-Dan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 1:23 AM, Simon Boxer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sb@simonboxer.com">sb@simonboxer.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Oops I just realised this is PIGMI and not the ex-Interzone mailing list. So I'm sorry about singling out games like that. :/<div><br></div><div>Go check the full list everyone!<div><div><br><div><div><div>

There was this audio dude Brock who just did music and sound for like 7 games. So it was great not to have a bunch of silent demos at the end!</div>
<div><br></div><div>I figured out a good strategy for sleep. Sleep well the first night and stay awake the second. I realised if you do it this way then your big stretch of staying awake is totally within gamejam hours, rather than including 12 hours of regular friday. Well it makes sense in my head...</div>

Hey all,<br><br>Was tossing up whether to attend Perth or Melbourne this year and in the end I thought it'd be a good opportunity to meet people here.<br>It was hosted at a university in the middle of nowhere (slept there) and for an entry fee ($48) we got us access to their comps and meals, drinks and snacks throughout. Although I don't envy the people who organised it... Epic effort! Plus cleanup and prep for every meal.<br>
<br>Here's the game I worked on:<br><a href="http://globalgamejam.org/2012/spawn-delicious" target="_blank">http://globalgamejam.org/2012/spawn-delicious</a><br><br>Didn't get time to implement the secondary mechanic due to Unity crashing and corrupting code on Sunday so it remains a sort of relaxing resource management game.<br>
<br>How was the Perth GGJ this year? What should I be playing?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Simon<span><font color="#888888"><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><img><br><span>Simon Boxer</span><br>
