Saudis join hands with world youth to develop digital games

  • Under the theme of “duality,” participants rapidly prototyped game designs, introducing new ideas to help inspire and grow the global game industry

RIYADH: Around 500 Saudis participated at the Global Game Jam held last month across the Kingdom in seven cities — Riyadh, Jazan, Abha, Hail, Madinah, Jeddah and Al-Ahsa — to compete in creating digital games.  
The 10-day event was concurrently held at 860 locations in 113 countries, where participating teams developed a whopping 9,010 electronic games worldwide.  During the first few days, the event focused on conducting specialized lectures and workshops, including on how to make electronic games, 3D design and tips for faster programming.
Participants were then given 48 hours to develop an entire game, which included forming teams, selecting an idea, designing and developing the game, testing it and uploading it to Global Game Jam’s platform.
