Global Game Jam in Perth


The preparations for the Global Game Jam in Perth are going smoothly.

We've almost nailed down a venue, and we now have a website for the local Perth GGJ. There are now 15 registrations, which makes for 4-5 teams at the event, which is quite encouraging. There is also building interest from various sponsors, which is great as I'll hopefully be able to supply some decent loot to participants.

There is quite a few Python coders coming along to the event, so I expect to see some neat games that actually get finished within the two days! :-)
