Today I am talking about one of the best event I know and been hosted here in morocco around gaming, there is not that much gaming event going on in the region globally and not just in the country to compare these stuffs with, but knowing the people who held this I am sure it will be the best , ma people will ask me what is a game jam ? I digged a little bit in google to improve the definition I will write by myself and I find this one from stlgamejam it says : A Game Jam is an organized get-together with the intention of creating a full game – from conception to completion – in a pre-determined, short period of time, usually one weekend. Popular Indie games such as World of Goo and Crayon Physics Deluxe were both created during this same type of rapid prototyping.
