interesting stat: Less than half of our participants felt game jams helped them learn about the game industry (47.1%), &(paraphrasing) even less believed they provided enough resources about promoting or publishing, accessing resources, or turning a jam project into a commercial release.
"That's My Jam: Understanding the Value of Game Jams," the white paper I wrote with GAIN, launched last week at @torontogamesweek.com! This white paper interrogates what game jams are, why people attend them, and how they benefit game makers with diverse creative and professional aspirations.

Really interesting read! 🧐As a history lover I was kind of disappointed but not surprised to read that the big companies are cagey about sharing due to legal red tape🫠 I guess the take away is - devs, if you care about preserving your games' history, you gotta take the lead
