What's a game jam?

We just made it to LA and set up our How I Roll table!  Sooo excited for Minefaire tomorrow!

Check out this article that Jesse Fish just posted.  I first met Jesse at GDC--he's another indie dev who's been working on some really cool stuff.

The article is about common mistakes to avoid at Ludum Dare, one of the largest game jam events in the world.  What's a game jam?  It's an event where game creators from all over get together for a weekend or so and try to test and build out entire (simple) games.  It's a great way to come up with ideas and meet other indie devs.  Jesse's been trying to get a small team together to compete in LD41, and hopefully I'll be joining them next weekend!  Can't wait!

I'm gonna' go get some dinner.  Big day tomorrow!
