It’s called the Global Game Jam, and it took place across 78 countries, over the weekend, including Australia, where over 200 game developers locked themselves up at the Melbourne arm of the event, and just to make sure participants started with a blank canvas, they were handed a set a theme for their game at the start of the event.  (This year’s theme was “What do we do now?”)
