A game jam is an event where developers gather and team up to design and create games. It’s essentially a hackathon for games. Often in as little as 48 hours, teams prototype small games that enrich their understanding of development tools, workflows, and team dynamics, all while giving them the freedom to experiment or explore more creative designs; much to the credit of the relatively small-time investment. Many developers have frequently participated in public game jams such as Epic Games’ ue4jams, or the Global Game Jam.
Despite their frequency and popularity, many developers may wonder, “What is the recipe for a successful game jam, and how can its success be measured?” In order to find answers, Epic Games and Sumo Digital teamed up to co-organise a jam!
Sumo Digital, part of the Sumo Group PLC (LON:SUMO) is an award-winning business providing creative and development services to the video games and entertainment industries, from studios in Sheffield, Newcastle, Nottingham, Pune (India) and Vancouver (Canada).
