Game On Goes To Emulator

 

GAME ON: 48-HOUR CHALLENGE COMES TO EMULATOR

 

 

Emulator in conjuction with Game On and IGDA Brisbane present a panel talk for the 48 Hour Game Making Challenge on Thursday 22nd September at 6pm.

The organisers of the 48 Hour Challenge (to be held on Friday 30th September) are calling on some of their honoured 48hr challenge judges and representatives from the Pro League to come and talk about the game jam experience (and perhaps even how to win!)
