With Jini Maxwell moderating and fielding audience questions, Giselle Rosman, Abby Phillips, and I all had a great chat about game jams, and what it's like to participate in one as an audio practitioner. Whether you're a sound designer, composer, voice actor, or anything in between, everyone can enjoy a game jam, and gain some valuable takeaways. In the hour-long session on Saturday afternoon, we discussed memorable moments from our game jam experiences, and highlighted the creative and professional benefits of jamming!
