On 9 March 2013 091labs hosted the first Galway Game Jam. Our theme was magnetism. There were teams who came all the way from Dublin and plenty of people who had never made a game before! Most teams were using Unity, others were using SDL and LWJGL.
Here is a creation from Team Spacenetic:

Other teams, unfortunately, didn't finish mostly due to having to leave early to get buses. Hopefully we will post some more creations or screenshots over the coming days. Huge thanks to everyone who turned up and huge thanks to 091labs for allowing us to use the space.
The next Galway Game Jam event is penciled in for 15 June 2013. Location TBC.
Here are some pictures from the day:

About 091 Labs
091 Labs is a collaborative community space based in Galway City, Ireland. It is a shared physical space for any and all creative projects: art, woodwork, software, photography and electronics – to name but a few. Our aim is to provide Galway with a place for people to work and collaborate on creative projects, to learn and to share their knowledge. We welcome all skill levels and all creative ideas.
We are funded by membership fees, fundraising, workshops, events and donations. We are a part of a loosely-knit international movement known as Hackerspaces (also known as Makerspaces or Creative Spaces). While many hacker- and makerspaces focus mainly on technology-based projects, we aim to be more diverse and to incorporate the thriving arts community in Galway.
