Up until now the GGJ has been either headed by a single person or the whole chaotically aligned adventuring party at once. With this approach, we aim to lessen the load on individuals and build a structure which will outlast any one person. We’re here to secure a future of regular Game Jams. 🎲 🎮
The current committee of Galway Game Jam - Tara, Richard and Liam
We are delighted to announce that the volunteers have been working away at improving our community here at GGJ by introducing a Committee to formalize our structure 🖥️
The Committee is:
Communications Officer: @jayebur.bsky.social
Chair: @richtotheardyo.bsky.social
Secretary: Liam Krewer
Play all the games here: itch.io/jam/global-g... 🎮
And that's a wrap! 11 Games created over two days here at CREW Galway for @globalgamejam.bsky.social 2026🎭

A screen shot of my laptop screen showing the AndroidStudio IDE in the background and a flutter app running in debug mode in the foreground. The flutter app is showing a grid view of the commodore 64 lower case ROM character set!
Learning more about Flutter so I made a custom RenderBox, LeafRenderObjectWidget and Widget to render Commodore 64 character sets! 🤓
(Well, probably any 8-bit character set really)

Hey new folks, follow my Steam Curator page.
It's where I put all the games I recommend. Big games, small games, weird games, the works. However, I do avoid games with predatory monetization practices, so nothing with lootboxes/etc.
Hey folks, my new video is out now, a review of the 2024 horror game Still Wakes The Deep, set aboard a Scottish oilrig. I'm really proud of this one, and I think it might be my best video yet! Please give it a look, and let me know what you think.
