2017 Jam

January 2017 was the first year of Global Game Jam at Stevenson University. We had 24 participants which formed 4 groups, creating 4 games to the theme of "Waves."

Two games were small mobile based games created with Scratch and Unity. One game was a card based music game, and the final game was a kids' board game.

By Sunday night, all games were complete and playable.
