Creative Assembly, one of the oldest and largest UK development studios, will once again bring their Creative Assembly Game Jam to EGX Rezzed.
Taking place on Friday 13th (the jam itself) and Saturday 14th March (showing off the games), the Game Jam will reside in the GamesIndustry Fair, which brings educators, employers and recruiters together to help the next generation of budding games industry professionals.
Partnering with The Guardian for the first time, the Creative Assembly Game Jam is an opportunity for game developers, whether amateur or professional, to spend a day making a game to inspire and educate a highly engaged and motivated audience.
Finished games will be presented to a panel of prestigious judges from the games industry and will also be streamed across the Internet via the EGX Rezzed Twitch channel. Videos from previous years can be viewed here:-
