I went to the Nordic Game Jam - a part of the Global Game Jam last weekend here in Copenhagen - and it was awesome.

I didn't see anyone using GameSalad though - but a lot of people were using Unity.

It was the first time I went - but definitely not the last time. So much creativity and SO many new game ideas in my pocket.

48 hours of not sleeping - creating games in groups! Best thing EVER! Sounds hard? It was!

Did any of you join this year?

You can see our group, The Failowship of the Jam's noobish Epic game here: The Quest for the Holy Fail

And no, we didn't win because .. no one understood the plot lol .. obviously :D

    Cool Lauren :) I saw GS also sponsored last year - not sure about this year - but the jam was crazy stuff =)

    Was also really fun to see the intros from all parts of the world.
