Wild Pockets Game Jam this Weekend

Sim Ops Studios, Inc., a spin-out from Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center, has developed Wild Pockets, a new web-based technology platform that enables anyone to easily create and share 3D games, interactive ads, and other virtual online experiences.  Wild Pockets is launching an exclusive beta for developers this fall following its first ever Wild Pockets Pittsburgh Game Jam!  You can be a part of the Wild Pockets history . . .

What is a Game Jam?

A Game Jam is an event where video game enthusiasts come together for a weekend of creativity and competition.  Using the brand new Wild Pockets platform, teams will compete to create a game in under 24 hours.  At the end of the event, the top three games will be selected by a panel of game professionals, and these top games along with an audience choice award winner will be placed in the running to compete against our other regional Game Jams to become the national winner.

When & Where is the Pittsburgh Game Jam?

Saturday, October 18, 10 a.m. – Sunday, October 19, 2 p.m. at the Entertainment Technology Center. 700 Technology Drive (off of 2nd Ave), Pittsburgh, PA 15219
