Morgantown WV Global Game Jam 2017

January 23, 2017 By Jordan Hallow

Once again for this year, I served as the site organizer for the Morgantown, WV site of the Global Game Jam.

Only one week until 2017 Morgantown Global Game Jam!! #wvuggj #ggj17 Sign up here: https://t.co/RQhMbiw0vM pic.twitter.com/H88qE50a5t

We had four speakers again this year.  They were professor Jeffrey Moser, Dr. Frances Van Scoy, indie game developer Elliott Iannello, and VP of Design at Schell Games Harley Baldwin.  All of their talks are attached in the playlist below from the club YouTube channel.

Also in the playlist are team interviews from Saturday of the jam, as well as final team presentations to the rest of the group.  Overall, I think the event was a success.  Even though I didn’t personally make a game this year, it seemed that everyone that participated really enjoyed the experience.  We also got a ton of great media exposure from this event, which I think helped the club as well!

Had a great start heading into the first night of the 2017 Global Game Jam!! #wvuggj #ggj17 #GGJ2017 #ggj pic.twitter.com/7CygMWP1A8
