GameCraft @ Games Fleadh – 14th March 2013

When: 14th March 2013, 11AM to 8.00pm
Where: LIT – Thurles

On Thursday 14th March many game developers from all over the country will gather together in Games Fleadh, to pour forth their creative juices in an extravaganza of game development talent that hasn’t been seen since…well, since the first Dublin GameCraft in November. That’s right, it’s time for another GameCraft . This time around, particpants, either individually or as a team, have a 7 hours to create a game centered around a random theme to be announced on the day. It will be exciting, it will be intense, it will be…slightly pungent, frankly. But it will be worth it! After 7 hours, a panel of highly trained judges (at least, they look highly trained) will examine each of the submitted games and select a few stand out entries to be awarded some awesome prizes. While the games are being pinched, prodded, and poked, we’ll all have some time for the all important networking. Participants are free to use whatever game creation platform they like, be that Unity, UDK, GameMaker, Construct2, XNA, or one of the myriad other fine platforms available today. Good luck and may the most ridiculous game win!

What happens on the day?

  • You with your team need to build a game from scratch, you have about 7 hours.
  • You can come with a team formed or form your team there
  • Platform agnostic
  • We select a topic during at the begining of the event
  • Start at 11am, then, at the end of the day (6pm ) all the games are be demoed
  • Judges vote .. there are prizes yay!
  • Everyone learns
  • People meet other people

  • Listen.

    You guys should change what you write about the game crafts, you say the same thing every time but just change the date/time, it’s not very fresh to look at or encouraging people to go.

      Thanks for your feedback. We find it hard (time-wise) to write up something completely different each time given that the GCs themselves are actually pretty much the same except for venue and date/time. If people would like to offer their time to do our next PR write-up, let us know. We will try and write up something different for next one. Again, thanks for your feedback. We do appreciate them. This year is pretty exciting, we do have more GCs coming your way, so be on the watch out. :-)
