IGDATC is organizing a team for Global Game Jam 2012. Mark your calendars, GGJ 2012 is Fri 1/27 ~5pm to Sun 1/29 ~7pm (game submission deadline is 3pm.) We expect to have final confirmation on a GGJ site by our 1/11 meeting so we can officially register and open sign-up. We’d love to see/hear from you If you were involved with GGJ 2011 at Brown or MNZERO, have any other GGJ experience.
