Have you always wanted to make a video game? Do you enjoy a creative challenge? Join the Malta Global Game Jam where you will try and make a game in 48 hours. What is the Malta Global Game Jam? The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations, including the Institute of Digital Games in Malta.

Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. Can anyone participate? The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.

A Game Jam is the perfect opportunity to make your first game from start to finish! You’ll team up with people with different skills (programmers, artists, designers, musicians, etc.) and various levels of experience.

Do I need a team? They encourage you to make a team on the spot. There will even be some time at the beginning of the jam to introduce yourself, pitch your ideas and to find people to jam with.

Venue: Institute of Digital Games, University of Malta, Msida
