In New Orleans this year, SIGGRAPH will be hosting the first annual GameJam! Competition. It’s a 24-hour competition to create graphics for computer games, with various challenges and mini-competitions along the way.
During GameJam! participants will take part in mini-competitions to compete for assets like texture, or ten minutes of internet time. What participants will have to do to win these competitions will only be revealed at the event. Attendees will also be able to watch the GameJammers create their characters, worlds, and gameplay via a live feed (monitors in the hallway will display participants desktops so the attendees can see the games as they are created).
Sounds like alot of fun, I hope to check out the feeds when I’m there. Which reminds me, have you Registered for SIGGRAPH2009 yet? Today is the LAST DAY for early registration discounts.
