Sell your soul: Intel + NAG hosting game jam with R15 000 prize pool for Southern Africans
NAG + Intel are hosting a game jam.
There's a R15 000 prize pool, and 4-8 of the games will be exhibited at rAge. It's only open to residents of SADC countries.
72 hour jam, Thursday October 1st - Sunday October 4th
So to quote, @SUGBOERIE, "WHY AREN'T YOU GAME JAMMING?"

Just being exhibited at rAge is a pretty sweet prize. And that's a lot of money to boot.
AIN'T
TOO
MUCH FOR ME TO
In all seriousness, really cool idea :D I hope as many games as possible gets to be shown at rAge :)
Can we arrange the Microsoft venue? @Asbestos? @Dave (I can't remember his forum handle, sorry)? @Fengol?
Date: Begins at 7pm on Thursday October 1st and end on Sunday October 4th
@Karuji has taken over mine and @Bensonance's responsibilities coordinating with MS in Johannesburg; and he's very susceptible to pokes for action.
Dave's handle is @DaveRussellSA. You can also poke him directly.
Starting the emailing now ;)

Although, considering where Ouya is now, perhaps that cynicism is well-placed :P.
I think having a cash prize for the jam is great - was just trying to inject some humor into an otherwise simple announcement, but let's not go into the "is humor allowed on these forums" argument again :).
But for the mean time, if we want a venue for JHB folk to jam together, I think we should be looking at alternative venues. I think Wits or Diz could be quite good if we could organize them. Though I'm quite unclear about who we'd need to talk to in order to do that.
Diz is the only place that might have space. I'll be in at Wits tomorrow, so I'll make inquires about it :).
Thanks for doing the legwork on the venue man, you guys are the awesomest :)
Or is competition subject to being at JAM locations?
Super thanks to all the Wits people who poked the other Wits people so this could happen! :3
Royal Smash Royale is in. I wonder if they'd want me to implement controller controls...
And I read that bit about controllers being in limited supply, so I guess they won't want mine with controller support :P
1. Thumbper
2. Hands on Experience
3. ???
There's got to be a special achievement unlocked for this, something to stick in laurels :P
"NAGJAM: Best not best enough award" :P
Congrats to all the winners, and of course all the participants! :D
