GDSG went internationally once again! This time, students from TU Graz and the University of Westminster<\/a> collaborated on a GameJam.
But what even is a GameJam (or “Hackathon”)?
It’s a challenge, where one or several people try to create a game in a very short amount of time with either a theme of their choice or an already given theme. This is a great chance to learn new game engines, try out different areas that belong to game development and explore different game mechanics and topics.

But the students from Westminster were not only in Graz to work with us together on new games, we also spent long evenings playing board games together, discovering local bars and admiring the city of Graz.
And Pizza. There was lots of Pizza. And beer. Beer and Pizza, hell yes! (Also alcohol-free and sodas \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
