Sofia Game Jam 2015
For the second time in 2015 Bulgaria will take part in the international Global Game Jam event. The Global Game Jam was founded 7 years ago, as in 2014 488 locations in 72 countries around the world, took part, with 23 198 registered participants. It is in January 2015 when Bulgarian game enthusiasts will for the second time become part of this global happening.
Sofia Game Jam is a great opportunity for designers, programmers, sound engineers, graphic artists or just game enthusiasts, to get together and make a game in less than 48 hours!
The participants are a good mix of volunteers, students and video game fans, so before all, the event is an opportunity for networking, a place to meet the industry and exchange ideas; it as well gives access to some of the most talented and creative minds in the Bulgarian game industry. Sofia Game Jam is a space where game creators can experiment with new platforms and ideas, in an intensely creative IT environment.
