The Global Game Jam is looming, and students are soon to be vacationing... Is there going to be a preparation game jam (or a just-because-its-awesome jam) sometime soon? (Maybe synchronously at a couple venues in South Africa)

I think we can do it... though who is interested?

I would be interested. Depending on the dates of course.

This sounds like a great idea. BlackShips and I will discuss some details : but so far - Guessing it will be some time in december. In JHB and CT so far (trying to organise for DBN as well). This is not final, just saying, that is an idea!

FuzzySpoon suggested doing the Jam for the Ludum Dare... I think that's a BRILLIANT idea.

That way we get to Jam together, which is loads of fun, but also be a part of the Ludum Dare (which I never have participated in but have always wanted to)...

We can have local judging (and prizes maybe) and get international indies to look at our stuff as well.

The only problem being the Ludum Dare times... they only announce their Theme late on Friday...

What do you guys think?

[edit] Although Ludum Dare doesn't allow teams and all code must be created from scratch... So I'm not as sure I want to participate in that...

Well we can do both, have one for the next Ludum Dare, but have our own one sooner?
