What is Global Game Jam?
Global Game Jam is the largest game jam event in the world taking place in multiple physical locations. It brings together creators of all ages and sizes and encourages collaboration and ingenuity.
We at Gamespawn want more people to become excited about game development. That's why Gamespawn is bringing Global Game Jam to U.C. Riverside!
