gamejam Ludumdare - TriQuaCir Ok, this time a participated at LD26-Jam which apprantly would have given me 3 days for development…so good time to test how far my engine is. In terms of features I was more or less satisfied. I invested lots of time bringing http
gamejam Hackathon-Stuff Ok, finally I find some time to write something about “droidcon-hackathon”. It was a real nice event where about 40-50 people were full of energy to write some android apps. There were some proposals about the topics but in the end everyone could decide
gamejam GGJ12 - Platformer 48h gamecoding resulted in a little platform-toolkit based on java(jME3) and blender. Too bad we had some problems inbetween and forgot to create the most important!
