TIGJam (or The Indie Game Jam) in an event where participants rapidly develop games over 48 hours. There is a heavy focus on collaboration, as there is no competition and no compulsory theme. Jammers are more than welcome to work on their own projects, but the usual idea is to make something new!
Inspire9 is just one train stop away from Flinders Street station and is located directly outside Richmond station. It's on the first floor of the building with elevator access.
Computers won't be available at the venue, so make sure you bring your own with all the necessary software installers/updates (a jam is not the place to be downloading things, silly). A laptop is most recommended for as there are limited desk setups, although desktop setups are okay too (as long as you arrive early enough to claim a space).
The venue will be open for the whole duration of the jam, and there is a designated sleeping area for people staying for the weekend. There are also shower and bathroom facilities, and you will need to bring your own survival gear for the weekend (deodorant, change of clothes, toothbrush, sleeping bag, deodorant, towel, etc.)
