Last weekend, Binary Impact hosted the Global Game Jam for the third time in the row at TZK – Technologiezentrum Koblenz and for the fourth time in total. Under the motto „repair“ over 40 game jammers from all over germany and other european countries came together to spend a creative weekend.
At the final event on sunday, eight unique projects were presented. From environment fixing onions, over to desert pirates who need to repair their ship to colourful rythem games. We had them all. All games created in the context of the Global Game Jam in Koblenz can be viewed on the official website: http://bit.ly/GGJGames2020
The Global Game Jam takes place at the end of january of every year. On many locations all over the world, programmers, graphic artists, game and sound designers come together to create games in less then 48 hours.
