A game jam is an intense, often 48-hour event where teams of artists, developers, and enthusiasts create games based on a specific theme, fostering collaboration and creativity. The Global Game Jam (GGJ), one of the largest events of its kind, recently saw over 10,000 participants from 63 countries working on more than 3,000 game projects, aiming to surpass its own Guinness World Record for size. Participants, like those from Venezuela, share their experiences and highlight notable games such as "EKG Runner" and "Meat Makes Us Go," which are developed using open-source platforms like GitHub for collaboration and distribution. These events encourage sharing and remixing of game projects under licenses like CC-BY-NC-SA, with developers leveraging platforms like GitHub Pages for hosting. The spirit of game jams emphasizes innovation, community, and the open sharing of creative work.
