It begins on Friday, 23.01.2015 at 12.00 HRS with registration. In the afternoon there will be casual talks from our special guests from the game industry – informative and insightful, they will be a spark of inspiration for the participants. The talks will cover core areas of game making, such as graphic design and animation, technical recommendations and the game industry as business. The event will be live streamed globally to the other Global Game Jam locations.

At 17.00 HRS we officially start Global Game Jam with announcing the theme of the global event. The participants group in working teams, each team registers and we’re rolling. Saturday and Sunday are days for work, as the venue will be open 24 hours until the final day.

The deadline for submission of games is Sunday, 15.00 HRS. That is followed by short presentations of all games and the winners will be selected with voting.
