TLDR
An analysis of game jam descriptions and definitions in academic papers from 2006 to 2014 is presented and an advanced definition of game jams is proposed as a basis for future academic discussions and collaborations.Abstract:
In this paper, an analysis of game jam descriptions and definitions in academic papers is presented. A total of 20 papers from various publication venues from 2006 to 2014 are analyzed in terms of their conceptualizations of a “game jam”. The background of the papers and their contribution to game jam research are also critically examined. A further explication, “an advanced definition”, is proposed as a basis for future academic discussions and collaborations. The advanced definition sums up game jams as: accelerated, constrained and opportunistic game creation events with public exposure.read more
