The Game Jam is getting started, and the participants are having to choose between the main track or the indie track for the first part of the day. I’ll be trying to jump between the tracks, giving you an insight to what goes on on both sides. Alexandar Skronski from Nokia kicked of the Main track by introducing the new Nokia Lumia 800, which uses the Windows 7 Phone platform. (28 of these phones are available for Jammers to use and try out during the weekend. Following Alex was Ian Qvist. Ian gave an introductory talk on the XNA Framework for developing on windows platforms (Phones, PC’s and 360′s)

Currently, Damien Morello from Recoil Games is talking about their game Rochard in the Indie track. Rochard was the first game for PS3 built on the Unity-3D engine, and is a 2.5D game about mining in space. (Check out the trailer!)
The game is also available on steam, so feel free to have a look.
More posts and pictures from the Jam will follow. Meanwhile, do check out this blog by Andrew Borg Cardona, who is also covering the Jam.
