This past weekend I participated in my first micro game jam in Orlando called The Indie Galactic Space Jam. It was a three day event, starting Friday night(7-25) and went until Sunday night(7-27) that ran out of the Orlando Science Center, which is this fantastic 4 level kids science museum located near College Park. If you are in the Orlando area go take your kids for the day! You can check out pictures from the event on the Space Jam Facebook Page
The Indie Galactic Space Jam was an idea started by a fellow Fiean, Kunal Patel, who is also the founder of the local Orlando Indie community and meet-up Indienomicon. While I haven't been to an Indienomicon meeting I do have many friends who've gone and who use it to promote their personal projects in the O-town dev scene.
The Space Jam was an event to celebrate and promote interest in space exploration and science. Orlando is considered part of the Space Coast scene, having many Sim and space oriented tech companies.
I was so excited to be able to work again with some of my favorite Fieans. One of my producers from Pitch Jumper, Kevin, asked me about a month ago if I wanted to join and I was like "YES I WANT ALL THE SPACE GAMES." Kevin is great to work with, and we have similar interest in promoting education in the sciences (he was once a high school teacher before going into the games industry) so this was a great opportunity to have fun doing what we love while promoting cool topics.
