A group of passionate game devs and like-minded cohorts are looking to setup a local Game Jam in Christchurch. If you're looking for a chance to bust out your creative skills and get together with a group of talented and passionate people check out the Event page for Game Jam: Christchurch!
One of the key organisers and focused drivers of the project is Donald Bubbins, creator of the Winnitron NZ. If you haven't heard of the Winnitron it's essentially an arcade cabinet for indie games! You can find out more about the NZ version (and its predecessors) from the tumblr page.
The plan for Game Jam: Christchurch, as it stands at the moment, is to have the Winnitron onsite for development and just plain entertainment. (Looking forward to getting it up here to Auckland one day, we hope?)
Donald also plans a screening of Indie Game: The Movie - as per the trailer embedded in this post which features indie poster boy (one of them, at least ;) Derek Yu.
To find out more about Game Jam: Christchurch and sign up to join in the fun and festivities, check out the Event page here on PlayMaker and the Game Jam: Christchurch Facebook Group.
