Super Game Jam's final episode now on Steam
The fifth and final episode of Devolver Digital's Super Game Jam is now available on Steam. Super Game Jam tells the stories of five pairs of developers that craft games during a 48-hour game jam. The final episode follows London-based developers Tom Francis (Gunpoint) and Liselore Goedhart (Remembering, Nott Won't Sleep) as they quickly concoct the game SimAntics under the game jam theme "simulation." The five-episode documentary series is currently 25 percent off ($14.99) on Steam through the end of the weekend, and includes copies of the five games created by the development duos. Announced in March, the series was directed by filmmakers Bram Ruiter and Daniel Oliveira Carneiro in five cities over the course of six months and features designers such as Vlambeer's Jan Willem Nijman (Ridiculous Fishing, Luftrausers) and Jonatan Söderström (Hotline Miami). Nijman appeared in the first episode, which launched in May. Head past the break for a teaser trailer of Super Game Jam's final installment. [Image: Devolver Digital]
Indie game bundle and documentary series Super Game Jam out now on Steam
Hotline Miami publisher Devolver Digital has launched the first episode of Super Game Jam, a documentary series that pairs up indie developers for a collection of collaborative game projects that are playable via Steam. Super Game Jam's premiere episode stars Ridiculous Fishing's JW Nijman and Ibb and Obb creator Richard Boeser, a pair of real-life friends who have never previously worked on a game together. Given 48 hours to design a game based on the prompt "breaking up," the pair produced the unconventional racer Navigator, which is now available for play as part of Super Game Jam's initial wave of content. Future episodes will feature developers like Sos Sosowski (McPixel), Jonatan Söderström (Hotline Miami), and Tom Francis (Gunpoint). The next entry in the series, which will team up Impetus creator Dominik Johann with Shelter's Christoffer Hedborg, will launch next month. [Image: Devolver Digital]
