games++ — organized by Alex Myers and Jeff Thompson :: November 4, 2011; 9:00 am - 9:00 pm (make games); 9:00 - 11:00 pm (play games) :: Drift Station Gallery, 1746 “N” Street (at 18th), Lincoln, Nebraska.

Do you make video games? Board games? Other games of a less well-defined category?

games++ is a 12-hour game development event where participants build games from scratch in a defined time period. Designed as a collaborative, communal making experience, games++ lives up to the heritage of its name: to incrementally add to the pool of amazing, experimental, one-off games in the world.

This event is a low-key, hard-working environment designed to get you making in an intense way - something that can be hard to do when sitting at home. Collaboration and conversation is encouraged and there will be mini-sessions throughout the day to encourage discussion, beta-testing, and general good-times.

games++ is open to video game makers, artists, programmers, psychogeographers, designers, and anyone else interested in spending a day making something from scratch.

Don’t make games? Come at 7pm to watch artists and programmers put down the finishing touches, then at 9pm you’ll be able to play the newly-minted games.
