\"Morrisville<\/a>Morrisville State College is among a handful of locations in New York State serving as a jam site for the 2017 Global Game Jam, the world\u2019s largest game creation event, taking place Jan. 20-22<\/span>.<\/p>\n

GGJ is a fast-paced, 48-hour digital \u201cjam session\u201d which gives teams of artists, hobbyists, programmers and gamers throughout the world a chance to brainstorm, innovate, collaborate and develop new ideas for game design.<\/p>\n

GGJ begins at MSC on Friday, Jan. 20 at 5 p.m.<\/span> in Charlton Hall with a videoconference and unveiling of this year\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n

Teams, some of which are formed on-site, spend the next 48 hours brainstorming and designing a new video game from scratch without any outside help. All finished GGJ games will be archived onto a Game Jam website for everyone to play.<\/p>\n

This is the eighth year MSC will be serving as a host site for the international event, now in its ninth year. Some of the games participants at the Morrisville site have created include: Traps: The Spanish Adventurer (a journey to prove capability as an adventurer, by collecting all of the gold); Ex-Extinction (Sir Captain Rawrington must save his dinosaur ancestors from the incoming asteroid onslaught); Flight Team Phoenix (pilot a phoenix spaceship and eliminate alien enemies) and Cardia Canyon (a hiker tumbles down a cliff and must follow his heart to lead him through the dark and back to his camp).<\/p>\n

Morrisville will be streaming live during portions of the event which will be broadcast on the GGJ Twitch Central Channel.<\/p>\n
