Come meet other game developers, talk about the projects you're working on, and of course play each other's games. Aniruth is going to share his experience with leading a winning team in a game jam! Game jams are a great way to learn a ton about making games in a short time so it will be great to hear from Aniruth about to do this successfully. This is also good timing for anyone thinking of doing KiwiJam 2026 (July 24th to July 26th) Please RSVP so we know how much pizza to get. We're at UCOL in room 6-1-08 **
