Hello! A few months back, there was a gamejam at the Hackspace[1]. It went well enough that people thought there should be another one. So we are having one. Would you like to come along?
The Hackspace is a is a non-profit, community-run hacker space in central London. It's full of exciting things, like laser cutters and oscilloscopes and beer. Check it:
http://london.hackspace.org.ukThe theme of the jam will be making games for the Hackspace arcade machine. On a side note, if anyone wants to help renovate an arcade machine, please get in touch. It's the shell of an original Neo-Geo machine, but we shall jam a PC and new games inside. We're also looking for an artist to paint the currently dull, drab, black sides of the cabinet.
People will be there from 10am on the Saturday until the evening on the Sunday. There will be a pub trip organized for the Saturday evening, and there will no doubt be forays to some of the excellent Vietnamese places nearby for lunch. There's also a Tesco nearby for casual snacking, and a full kitchen in the space, if you're feeling frugal. If you're coming from outside London, get in touch - there will be places to crash.
If you want to come along, sign up at
