As

Creative Suite, Houdini, etc.)
- Late Night Jam Session for Game Sounds and Music (feel free to bring your own instruments)
- Recording Studio and Mixing Software to provide your games with the certain umph
- Sleeping spaces (#thefloorisnotcomfy)

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ®) is the world’s largest
game creation event taking place in physical locations across the globe.
Think of it as a 48 hour hackathon focused on game development around a
theme. GGJ’s mission is to stimulate innovation, experimentation, and
collaboration in games. The annual event begins on a Friday afternoon in
January and kicks off with video keynotes and advice from leaders in
the game development industry.
