- wtbob 13y agoLooks like a bunch of folks with un-natural hair colours trying to write games while being yelled at or something.

- vertex-four 13y agoIt's quite well explained throughout the article, although not in the first few paragraphs. Essentially, it's a reality TV show that was originally supposed to be a vaguely-documentary type thing about a game jam, but morphed into something the devs revolted against.
- KVFinn 13y agoHackathon for games. Bunch of people meet up and make a game from the ground up. Typically for a weekend but sometimes longer. At the end everyone shows off what they made. Notably while you do divide up into teams in a game jam, and they might even give out prizes, game jams are not thought of as a competitive event. It's very common artists and musician to contribute to multiple teams, programmers help others with stuff they specialize in, everyone is always getting feedback and playtests from others, etc.
