It runs game jams, talks and workshops. [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYio8Z2dWh4) ## Background Around 2015, game development in Málaga was just getting started. A group of local developers kept meeting at the city's first game events, and we decided to start an association to give local talent a place to meet and show their work. I was part of the founding team. Our first big event was hosting the **Global Game Jam**, where developers around the world build a game over one weekend. MalagaJam grew from there into one of the largest Global Game Jam sites in the world by number of participants. ## My involvement - Co-founded the association and served as Vice President for four years. - Gave development workshops and talks. - Organised two hackathons a year, growing attendance from 50 to more than 300. ## Jam games Now and then, we organisers built something ourselves at the jams, usually to try a technology or an idea we wouldn't have touched otherwise. --- ### Get Rich April 2015 · [Play on itch.io ↗](https://turbocorp.itch.io/get-rich) ![Get Rich](https://jfcampos.dev/images/projects/malagajam-get-rich.jpg) A local-multiplayer game where rich characters fight each other with their money. - I built the enemy AI. --- ### Tu Casa Es La Mía 2016 · [More about it →](https://jfcampos.dev/projects/tu-casa-es-la-mia.md) ![Tu Casa Es La Mía](https://jfcampos.dev/images/projects/tu-casa-es-la-mia-1.jpg) An experimental strategy game where civilisations fight over each other's planets, and the player sends their fleet of ships to invade. - I made the music and sound effects, with a score that changes with the action. --- ### Heavy Industries December 2016 · [Play on itch.io ↗](https://turbocorp.itch.io/heavy-industries) ![Heavy Industries](https://jfcampos.dev/images/projects/malagajam-heavy-industries.jpg) A multiplayer game for a whole room, with two kinds of player: one is a CEO stacking Tetris pieces, and everyone else tries not to get crushed, climbing up to defeat him. Built in Unity, with a WebSockets multiplayer engine handling the connections. - I built the player UI and the input system, so players could join with whatever controller or device they had. --- ### Shut Up and Take My Money July 2018 · [Play on itch.io ↗](https://turbocorp.itch.io/takemymoney) ![Shut Up and Take My Money](https://jfcampos.dev/images/projects/malagajam-shut-up-take-my-money.jpg) Another game for a whole room, this time about investing. Up to 100 people join from their phones as investors, listen to a round of startup elevator pitches and decide which company to back. - I built the multiplayer engine in C#, and the text-to-speech that reads each pitch in a different voice. --- Web page:
