[Video] It’s TOJam Weekend!

The annual three-day game-making extravaganza begins today! THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES is the theme of the 11th year of the Toronto Game Jam.

To celebrate we’re releasing two TOJam related segments from episode 2 of YYZ Gameshow, our webseries about the Toronto game community.

The first one is a artist profile, which features Jon Remedios meeting Kara Stone after she gets a tattoo to discuss their TOJam plans.

The second one is all about TOJam 2015. It’s an amazing community resource, y’all. It’s free, plus they feed you! Follow @torontogamejam on Twitter to find out when registration for next year opens up.

Fun fact: While we’re separate projects, one of the founders of TOJam, Jim McGinley, was also a founder of the Hand Eye Society — and came up with our name!

Fun fact #2: A bunch of the HES organizers are jamming — in fact I’m heading over right now.

Fun fact #3: You can watch the entire 22 minute episode of YYZ Gameshow Episode 2 here (featuring the Vector Festival and Christine Love interviewed by Shaun Hatton) or on Bell Fibe TV1 under “Entertainment”. Subscribe for more video goodness!
