The Global Game Jam has officially started! We’re all set up at the venue (the fantastic Nottinghack hackspace), ready to go. This year’s theme is the ouroboros, which gives us plenty of potential.Our team: Dan, society president and heading up the main coding team; Nick, vice president, code monkey and backup art guy, Jamie, tester, bugfinder and also lending some code, and Jacob, lead artist. Also, Steven, MD of NerfGames and unofficial mentor to many of the society’s members, will be dropping in whenever he’s conscious and not helping to run the show to motivate the team and throw awesome at the code.

So, watch this space for updates on our progress – we’ll be posting news throughout the competition, and there will be a full news post afterwards to let you know the results!
