Matthew Wegner - TIGJam Talks

Just a quick one: I will be visiting the fourth TIGJAM UK from the 4th to the 7th of February this year, so feel free to drop in and say hello if you are in the Cambridge area that weekend.  It looks like it could be a great opportunity to see indie developers in action.

Last night, I attended day one of my first ever game-jam in Cambridge.  The theory was that we had three hours, from seven until ten, to make a game based on one or all of the three supplied themes - two players, one screen; bungee-jumping; Swiss cheese - and some people hit that target, but it was more of a warm-up day while people arrived and got up to speed.

My own offering (available [here]) took a little over the three hours, but I was proud of making something (vaguely) playable in only three hours.

Today, I have been looking into Python, both for Ren'Py and seeing if I can make use of the PyGame libraries (LGPL makes them commercially-viable) for future games.
