Congratulations to the @UniofStaffs @StaffsUnion Games Dev society on running another excellent Global Games Jam site. Super professional, supportive, and a great community vibe. Was really happy to come in over the weekend and hang out with some of the jammers. Great to see so many excellent games produced and so many folk coming together to create.
Staffs is one of the UKs largest @globalgamejam sites, and we are pleased to be an anchor for the local games development community. @StaffsGames are always proud to support our student leaders in coordinating this important event.
Threw together a quick video of some of the games at the presentation ceremony this afternoon. We will have a more professional edit coming later!
