The biggest Game Making Event in the world; Global Game Jam and Locally:
Global Game Jam Hamar is oficially over.
Thank you so much to Hamar Game Collective, Høgskolen i Innlandet, Valmuen - Linjeforening, Østnorsk filmsenter, Hamar kommune (with special honors to Einar Busterud for stopping by), Hamarregionen Utvikling, Escio, Norsk Tipping and our chief Håvard R. Haugrud
For making sure that this happened and was such a great event!
At one point we (tiny Hamar) were on the top 10 list of largest Jam-sites in the world. Out of 113 countries (!!!)
Now we are the 13th largest Jamsite (in the WORLD).
Over 50 amazing games were made. We have written about most of them here (in a easy-to-browse format):
