A game jam for the SERIOUS game makers is the impression I felt he wanted to give, not one for people who only play at making games. <br /><br />"Yeah you kids with your game jams are adorable but you're annoying me, the ADULTS are going to go over here and do REAL art."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761705395661858550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178178746146487446.post-58672254379460895732012-06-01T08:37:28.627-07:002012-06-01T08:37:28.627-07:00btw i find the photo at the top of the article kin...btw i find the photo at the top of the article kind of hilarious.Liz Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083999308545721370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178178746146487446.post-73897332836463123132012-06-01T08:26:56.931-07:002012-06-01T08:26:56.931-07:00i think the idea is to create something like a gam...i think the idea is to create something like a game jam, but with more consciously organized towards achieving a specific set of goals (basically whatever the participants hope to get out of it). i certainly don't have a problem with what Jon Blow seems to see as "shallow" events, but it's true that they're not exactly the best for sustained discussions about creativity. regardless of the privileged positions of the people involved in this one and whatever sense of self-importance they may or may have taken into it, the existence of this idea as one alternative to regular game jams seems like a good thing to me.Liz Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083999308545721370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178178746146487446.post-91155475136006782192012-06-01T08:11:29.917-07:002012-06-01T08:11:29.917-07:00the thing thats bullshit about the depth jam is th...the thing thats bullshit about the depth jam is that CREATIVE FRIENDS GOING ON AN OUTING gets press. like really? you guys just got a beach house.<br /><br />every time i go on vacation with creative people and we throw around ideas and create its not a fucking deal<br /><br />but JON BLOW GOES OUTSIDE SOMETIMES oh and HE INVITES PEOPLE oh and THEY TALK ABOUT GAMES<br /><br />is deep?<br />is a DEPTH JAM?<br /><br /><br />like seriously putting down game jams because people dont iterate, or get into the deeper aspects of appreciating art is COMPLETE NONSENSE<br /><br />big game jams always break down into smaller groups of people talking on deeper subjects<br /><br />see the noisebridge post gdc jam<br />see every single klik of the month club ive hosted<br /><br />see 'shallow' events like fags<br /><br />sorry jon blow that youve reached celebrity status and have to have exclusive events so people dont hound you, but stop fucking constantly saying that people arent able in their social spaces to acheive your DEPTH<br /><br />ugh really he just needs to stop talking about things outside his experience its grossAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
