48-hour game creation marathon supported by Makedonski Telekom and T-Mobile

With the support of Makedonski Telekom and T-Mobile, the third in a row "Global Game Jam" in Macedonia will be held from 23 to 25 of January. It is an international event for creation of digital games which is held once a year, simultaneously at many sites throughout the world. “Global Game Jam” is a 48-hour marathon in which the participants develop games on the same topic which is assigned at the start of the event.

In Macedonia, the creative people will be able to participate in the event by creating games at two sites: the first one is in the Seavus Education and Development Center in Skopje and the other one is in the Business Academy Smilevski in Bitola. This year's game creation event will be the biggest so far in Macedonia, not only in terms of the number of participants, but also in terms of rewards. Both sites will be open 48 hours non-stop. In order to participate in “Global Game Jam” Macedonia, those who are interested need to register in advance in order to be able to join a game creation team. At the very end of the marathon, each team separately will present their game to the audience, for which they might get a reward.
