The Dundee Jam: a series of events for videogame creators to meet up and make simple, fun little videogames. It is not actually jam-related in any way. Although that would certainly be nice too (and better in many ways)

News

2009-04-10 More From Jam #4

Participating remotely in Jam #4, Gary Penn brings us Super Breakeroids.


2009-04-06 Joust Another Jam

The jam keeps coming - Stew Hogarth brings us Super Joust World for Jam #4.


2009-04-06 Thrusting The Night Away

Dundee Jam regular Dan Leyden brings us Thrust And Shoot. Advice to live by, really.


2009-04-06 Jam 4 Life

Tom Kane, like that mashed potato guy in Close Encounters Of A Third Kind finds himself condemned to recreating Sandy White's wonderful Speccy game Ant Attack. Over and over again.

Let this be the end.


2009-04-06 I Am Rubber, You Are Glue

And the great Jam #4 upload continues. This time Darran "Daz" Jamieson brings the wrath of not one but TWO sets of lawyers to Dundee Jam with Monkey Fighter (with sincere apologies to Ron Gilbert, Lucasarts, and Capcom).


2009-04-05 Tanks A Million

Mike Enoch did this for Jam #4, and brought a tear to the eye of anyone old enough to have owned an Atari 2600 and a copy of Combat "back in the day"


2009-04-05 I Don't Know What This Is

It shouldn't exist. But somehow it does.

Mike Hogarth calls his latest piece I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS and it perfectly captures one man's descent into madness in videogame form.

The long term effects of playing this are unknown.


2009-04-05 Triptych

More Jam #4 goodness - Triptych from Stephen Lavelle.

Loads more to come.


2009-04-05 Metal Gear Frogger

Another Jam offering from Malcolm Brown and Peter Carr. With apologies to all concerned IP holders (and their lawyers).

More to follow.


2009-04-05 Smashup

Another game from Jam #4 uploaded - Smashup courtesy of Thomas Kronberg.

More to come!


2009-04-05 Jam #4 Done!

Jam #4 was our best-attended event to date, and despite some unforeseen problems with the venue, somehow the quality of the games was better than ever! Thanks to everyone who came along and made it possible!

Thanks also to Denki who sponsored us (covering the cost of food and drink on the day) and Abertay Whitespace who provided the venue (briefly).

We've just started the slow process of updating the website, so please bear with us over the next 48 hours as we get all the games uploaded.

Stop. Hammer Time!

2009-04-01 Jam #4 This Saturday!

The fourth Dundee Jam takes place on April 4th, 2009. That's this coming Saturday!

Location: Whitespace, University of Abertay, Dundee

Time: 10AM

If you are interested in participating, please email to let us know beforehand so we can make sure that security lets you in etc.


2009-03-14 Jam #4 Theme

We usually like to have some sort of guiding theme for our Jam events, and Jam #4 is no different. The theme this time around?

"Mashup"

Often used to refer to music which blends different songs together to produce something new and interesting, the same approach can occasionally yield interesting ideas for games. Of course other interpretations of the theme are perfectly fine too.


2009-03-12 Jam #4 Announced!

The next Dundee Jam will take place on April 4th, 2009, 9am.

Anyone interested in participating, please drop us a mail.

More details coming shortly.


2009-01-26 The Next Jam

We've started planning our next Dundee Jam event - more news coming soon.

In the meantime, some friends are hosting a similar game jam event in Glasgow, and in fact globally. Check it out!

Also, coming soon: the secret Dundee Jam game that time forgot! With apologies to Mike.


2009-01-26 Extra Jam

But but but! Jam #3 finished ages ago, so why are you posting another game? Well, sadly Paul couldn't make the Hallowe'en Jam for various selfish reasons such as moving to a totally different part of the country. However, he's gone and made a Jam game anyway. It breaks all the rules because he took so bloody long to make it, but since he's a lifetime Friend of the Jam (tm) we have to post it anyway.

How late do you have to be before you're absent?

hello ian

Here it is: "Hello Ian".

Thanks Paul!
