Mediapolis Game Jam 20.-22.11.2015!


It's time for the Mediapolis Game Jam, where people who like to make games gather together for one hectic weekend.



Each participating small team consists of people with various skills, like programming, level design, visual design, animation or sound design, and the goal is to get a game done within 48 hours, no more no less.



The participants of the Mediapolis Game Jam have a score of virtual technology they can use for their games: a technodolly, a technocrane, a virtual studio, several brands of virtual reality goggles, and as a cherry on the cake, a motion capture studio.



The Mediapolis Game Jam is organized by Finnish Game Jam ry, Technopolis and The Tampere University of Applied Sciences. YLE online is there for the whole weekend, showing the highlights of the jam. New articles and videos will be added to the YLE web pages up until the end of November 2015.

Suomeksi:
Mediapolis Game Jameilla 20.-22.11. pelintekijät kokoontuvat yhteen suunnittelemaan ja luomaan uusia pelejä jamihengessä. Osallistujat jakautuvat pieniin ryhmiin, jotka koostuvat pelisuunnittelun eri osa-alueiden taitajista. Kunkin ryhmän tavoite on tehdä peli valmiiksi 48 tunnin aikarajan puitteissa.
Mediapoliksen jameissa ryhmät hyödyntävät pelin tekemisessä virtuaaliteknistä elokuva-alan laitteistoa. Mukana on Technodolly, Technocrane, virtuaali- ja motion capture-studiot sekä virtuaalilasit.
Tapahtuman Ylen kanssa yhdessä järjestävät Finnish Game Jam ry, Technopolis ja Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu.
Ylen verkkotoimitus seuraa hektistä tapahtumaa paikan päällä koko viikonlopun ja taltioi jamien kohokohdat. Sivustolle päivitetään uusia artikkeleita ja videoita aina marraskuun loppuun saakka.

Skábma game project

“The story of Skábma is based on the Sámi mythology of The Celestial Hunt. The Celestial Bull Reindeer, Sarvvis, has been hunted through the ages by the Sons of Kalla from the constellation of Orion. If the hunters succeed in killing Sarvvis, the world will die. In the game, a young Sámi child, Áilu, gets mixed up with this endless hunt and accidentally initiates the end of the world.“ Students have been working hard over the summer with various projects and internships. One project in focus is project Skábma – Polar Night, originally titled “Kaamos.” A project which began during a game minor module in 2015, has now been developed into a fully-fledged project. The initial project was too big for the students to finish and they were unable to reach their goals. However, everything has a silver lining. Red Stage Entertainment then picked up the project several years later and are now working with some of the original creators. Skábma is a 3D low-poly game developed in Unity. The team of

View over Hong Kong, from the PolyU Innovation Tower Hong Kong skyline, near the Space Museum Between the 20th and 24th of April, two of our Tamk Media and Arts lecturers - Howell Istance and I, Carita Forsgren - went to visit Hong Kong.
