BUG Headquarters Opens with Global Game Jam Istanbul
The Bahçeşehir University Game Lab, also known as BUG, which has long been preparing to move into its own space, is finally achieving its wish with Global Game Jam 2013 and organizing its first event.
Bahçeşehir University's Galata Campus, which will become operational in the spring semester, will also be home to the BUG headquarters. Global Game Jam, to take place simultaneously around the world on 25-27 January, is a 48-hour game development marathon. It is the most independent platform where independent game developers show their skills and, most importantly, come together. The brainstorming begins with the given theme, ideas are presented, teams are formed, and after two sleepless nights the resulting games are shared with the whole world! After GGJ, BUG will continue its educational and experimental activities at full speed. These activities, to be organized as monthly programs, will select their participants by accepting applications according to their content. In addition to events, BUG, which will establish research groups in various fields such as game-based learning, game music, gamification and game technologies, aims to produce projects that bring industry and academia together. Founded in May 2012, BUG had already taken important steps at both local and global scales with Playful Interactions and Game Workshops .
Date: 25-27 January
Venue: BAU Galata
