VSW Game Jam: 3D Worlds

About this event

A game jam is an event in which artists, makers, poets, and storytellers make a video game entirely from scratch in one sitting. This fall, VSW will host a series of game jams and demonstrations that encourage collaboration and experimentation in a low-stakes, supportive environment. Each game jam will begin with a short demo of a free and accessible game-making tool led by games artist Nilson Carroll. Participants will then be given time and space to explore the tool however they like.

On Saturday November 7, Nilson will lead a game jam on the block-based, 3D game engine WareWare. In development by the artist collective RipRip, WareWare is a powerful, experimental tool for creating dreamscapes, strange narratives, and poetic spaces right in your browser.

This series promotes game-making as an inclusive artistic practice, open to diverse makers and anyone who is curious about games, interactive new media, or digital storytelling. Game jam events empower makers to create and share expressive digital art outside of the boundaries of large, algorithm-driven, corporate-owned online platforms. Makers, artists, indie developers, and poets of all experience levels and ages are invited to participate.
