Just over 40 people gathered in Utah Valley University’s Business Resource Center in Orem, USA, just south of Salt Lake City, USA, as part of Global Game Jam 2020.

We had all sorts of jammers, from accessibility award beneficiaries to first time developers to veterans from local studios like WildWorks, Inc.

A huge thank you to the sponsors and volunteers who made it possible!

The quality of games finished at this year’s jam were as always, amazing and inspiring, and some of them were better than any others that have been done at a Utah game jam. Many of the top teams could easily sell their game almost as is on a live service or in an app store. The less experienced jammers got help from generous mentors and fellow attendees, and I’m pleased to report that every team came away with something to show and be proud of, gaining skills and experience that are hard to find outside of a real job in the industry.
