A massive well done to everyone that took part in this years Global Game Jam!

Over the weekend many of our students from a range of programmes, external industry peeps, and returning graduates came to campus to take part in the worlds biggest game jam. 48-hours of collaboration, creativity and fun with the final results speaking for themselves.

This years theme was "Masks" which prompted jammers to create some incredible titles. We saw games including a cat escaping a search light in Toki Len, an assassination game where they promised us no-one actually dies in Masquerade Madness, or an insane narrative game The C. Reeyus Case of the Sub-aquatic Sequel (as well as many many more).

We ask that you take the time to check out all of the titles created on our site this year through the link below:
