SPSU Fall Game Jam 2014

Wow, the nine past days have been busy, busy! Two weekends ago I got to participate in another awesome game jam over at Southern Polytechnic State University. A substantial $20,000 prize pool was put up by the Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in order to create games that focused on HIV awareness and prevention.

I am very fortunate in that my team was selected as one of the top five that will work over the next two months to finish their games and collect a portion of the $20,000. Woo hoo!

As an added bonus, we're getting to work with Joe Cassavaugh from Puzzles By Joe to help keep our game on track and bring it to completion.

Here's an awesome video SPSU put together that summarizes the Game Jam experience perfectly.
