Game Developers Refuge

The first 4x4x4 Live Jam is being planned

When: October 20-22 (Friday-Sunday)
Where: Orlando, FL
LiveStream: Watch the stream on Twitch
Who:

Firm: Syn9, Deleter, Sirocco, Begui

This is the first ever live 4x4x4 game jam. The idea is to spend a long weekend jamming out 4x emoji entries, and have a cam (and hopefully a monitor) set up to live-stream for those who want to follow along in other locales/countries).

We're still in the planning stage, but if you intend to come, drop a note as early as you can, so we can find a location that's suitable, and lock in the date as far out as we can. Personal/professional obligations are harder for some to navigate without advance notice. We also have a channel set up in Discord for discussion. Current details will be posted here daily.

Updated with finalized date and attendance.

October 20-22, Orlando. Syn9, Deleter, Sirocco, Begui

We're going to try simultaneous streaming via Twitch and Discord, provided we have the bandwidth. I'll be setting up the gear beforehand and performing some local testing.

We did a trial run of the jam this weekend, and it was a complete success. So this coming weekend is a GO.

Twitch channel updated (I'm slowly turning it into a GDR/4x-specific channel)

Live for the next 48 hours or so.

Live jam was an amazing experience. We learned quite a few things about the whole streaming process, and we'll be summarizing our findings and thoughts for next time.

And yes, there will most definitely be a next time.

Long story short: it was a success and we will be doing it yearly.
