JMC Academy
JMC Academy in South Melbourne recently held the 2020 Melbourne Global Game Jam. The Game Jam is an annual challenge where independent and upcoming developers conceptualise and create a game in 48-hours (similar to the 48-hour film festival). This year saw over 250 budding developers enter the halls of JMC which led to 53 original games being created.
Now, the City of Port Phillip, Global Game Jam, Big Ant Studios, and JMC Academy are pleased to present the Play Jam, a huge event running on Tuesday, 18 of February where participants of all ages can come down and play the games, meet the developers and learn a thing or two about game development in Australia. I’m extending the invitation to you, your media teachers, and students of all ages from your school to come down and check it out.
The details are:
Date: Tuesday, 18 February
Time: 6.00 pm – 9.00 pm
Where: South Melbourne Town Hall
