SkiFree II 🔹 Game Jam dans l'Cantal II 🔹 game made in 48h                                   

why it's relevant 🔹 Experiencing a Game Jam as the extension of a town / region                          
             🔹 A small (by my standards) 2-people Game Jam team, for a change

what I learned 🔹 Chill Jam, we focused on having fun and enjoying the experience                
        🔹 The pedagogical potential of Game Jams, as seen in the Fab lab
               🔹 Game Jams can be part of an experience, like exploring a new place

cool tool 🔹 video travel journal                                                                                     

Plié d'avance ! 🔹 Godfather / Godmother Jam 2024 🔹 game made over 48h             

             why it's relevant 🔹 The game requires alternative controllers, which we created during the Jam!
                                🔹 I challenged my team to focus on only one feature, and what a result!

  what I learned 🔹 Game Jams can let you create an installation, not just an executable
                                         🔹 That one feature constraint can be a very powerful scope management tool
                             🔹 Having a proto by mid-Jam and then 24h of polish is sooo satisfying!

cool tool 🔹 physical post-its & whiteboard (💙 full on-site team)              

        C.R.A.B. 🔹 Ludum Dare 56 🔹 game made in 72h            
Slurp 'em All 🔹 Ludum Dare 56 🔹 game made in 72h             

 why it's relevant 🔹 I took part in this Ludum Dare in 2 teams at once!
                                        🔹 Partaking at the Electrolab hackerspace was incredible!
                                                      🔹 C.R.A.B. scored 330ᵗʰ overall and 215ᵗʰ in graphics, my 2ⁿᵈ best!

                             what I learned 🔹 I can thrive in hands-off roles, like macro organization & catering
                                               🔹 Partnering with site providers can be immensely rewarding!
                                                🔹 It feels like my first Jam event organization gig, and I loved it!
                                                         🔹 A Game Jam location may suffice as the Jam theme in and of itself

  cool tool 🔹 food inventory & budget tracking document

Bubble Therapist 🔹 Global Game Jam 2025 🔹 game made in 48h                      

 why it's relevant 🔹 We jammed at the Gare XP which is a marvelous location! 
                                                       🔹 3 Students from the IUT de Bobigny I met at the UniJam joined our team!
           🔹 We got featured on the GGJ website (again😉)!

    what I learned 🔹 What matters most is having a good time in a safe space   
                                     🔹 ... yet I must guide my teams towards more reasonable scopes

cool tool 🔹dialogue tree pipeline                                                  

Super Smash Gods 🔹 We Could Be Heroes Jam 🔹 game made in 1 week

                                                   🔹 A 12-hour time difference between our dev and sound designers!
            🔹 A truly multicultural team and game theme!

                   what I learned 🔹 Working with a full team of professionals is something else 💖
                                                🔹 A motivated team can beat any geographical hurdle, no problem

cool tool 🔹 debug trello guide                                                

So I love partaking in Game Jams 🔸 I've taken part in 41 thus far and counting
But I also sometimes join Jam events as a co-organizer / coach / sponsor 🔸 such as...

🔸 the UniJam 🔸
what is this? 🔸 Jam organized by Télécom SudParis, the ENSIIE and the IUT de Bobigny for their students
     🔸 The UniJam 2015 was my 1ˢᵗ Game Jam ever, when I studied GD & LD at the IUT
🔸 I have been a coach & co-organizer there for the past 9 years                              
  why I care 🔸 The IUT hosts one of the few public diplomas to learn how to make video games in France
              🔸 I wanna support the young and driven game creators who can't afford a private school

🔸 Team Choo Choo 🔸
 what is this? 🔸 Facebook group & Discord server I created in 2017 to create teams to go jamming together
why I care 🔸 Making games is tough, and fun 🔸 It's only meaningful to me as a team endeavour
