From October 10th to 12th, AANT hosted the Rome Game Jam for the second time — a 48-hour hackathon dedicated to the creation and development of live games, board games, and video games. Participants were divided into small teams with the goal of designing a complete game within a limited time. It was a unique opportunity for students, professionals, and enthusiasts alike to challenge themselves in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Leading the hundred or so Jammers who took part in this creative marathon were AANT professors Simone Mari, Ennio Pirolo, Francesca Zacchia, and Andrea Ferlito, CTO of Codemotion.
In just 48 hours, 18 games were created; the best one was selected by a jury composed of professionals and industry experts:
Carlo Tuzza, sound designer and composer
Federico Simonetti, researcher and co-founder of the Ex Machina collective
Lorena Rao, lecturer and video game critic for Fanpage.it and Atacore.it
MarcusKron, YouTuber and streamer
Simone Martolini, 3D modeler at Red Hog
Valerio Bernardini, game and narrative designer at Turbolento Games.
Proud to have hosted the event, AANT is already gearing up for the third edition!
