20-ish participants in Day One. Not bad at all. We hear some people might still be joining tomorrow. Groups are forming and ideas are being finalized. Looking forward to seeing the games come to life.

Hi Mazelle,

The meeting this Saturday is at 3:00 pm in UP ITTC (inside the UP Diliman campus).

Here's the full info on the meeting: http://www.igda.org/manila/igda-manila-monthly-meetup-january-pre-game-j...

Also, if you're not a member yet of the IGDA Manila group on Facebook, I encourage you to join - we post announcements there as well :) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=57645691790

When will the meeting start? What time?

This is a keynote of the 2009 Global Game Jam. It is a nice short video on how to make games in 48 hours.

Don't form teams - we form teams on the spot. See FAQ: http://globalgamejam.org/wiki/basic-questions

Wait, are we all working together as one team or are there mini-clusters?

I am asking because I don't have one. I hope we all jam together.

uy edsel! hahaha register ka lang dun sa site, tapos hanapin mo yung manila chapter

I'll be down for the week, and have extended my stay to make sure I am there for this. Sounds like a good time. I am hoping a bunch of Boomzappers also show up - I'd love to see what they can come up with.

Hi guys, preparations are in full swing. There is a tentative pre-event meeting planned for January 16 at the UP ITTC. This will serve as both our monthly IGDA meeting and also a mini press conference for the manila game jam.

So when is our pre-event meet? Or do we need to do that?

Awesome. I am now drafting you into the organization committee!!!

Oh shit. I studied there. astig.

@mazelle yes this is collaborative work!

I'm still working out details for the event. We're looking at two different locations and hope to finalize it within the week. :)

This is collaborative work, right?
