Actually making games isn’t for everyone, but there is nary a gamer who hasn’t thought about what they would make if they had the opportunity. Mojam, a gathering of independent developers, led my Mojang obviously, allows you to follow six teams as they make their games live over the next few days.
If you’re interested, you can watch the stream at Humble Bundle. You can also donate to the cause, with proceeds going to charity. So far, at last check the donation total was at $53.4k and rising. This is fascinating for me to watch, seeing the thought process of these people as they design games in real time. It almost tempts me to try and do that myself with Game Maker…. but the results would be tragic. Likely humorous, but tragic. Alas.
