Sydney Ferry Jam

A lightning-fast game jam that’s more about just creating something rather than finishing or polishing something.

To quote from the event pages:

Doesn’t have to be a digital game, can be a board game, zine, art or whatever’s good. Doesn’t have to be finished either, and doesn’t have to be finished on the ferry. Jam will be open for the weekend, feel free to catch another ferry or train for the jam, or just do this stationary too. I’d highly recommend making the jam on the ferry and then uploading later. The ferry is 1hr 26mins which is very tight, so consider planning ahead.

And:

And make sure not to take this too seriously, it is an hour and a half long ferry so drink water and give yourself a good ten minutes to pack-up and exit the ferry. And just have fun! This isn’t ranked. It’ll probably be windy, and I’ve been told that [internet and/or mobile] service is a bit spotty on the ferry.
