About This Video Experience the highs, the lows, and the victories in this in depth look at the world of rapid video game development as Game Jam The Movie follows 12 teams through a 48 hr game development competition sponsored by tech moguls. The winners earn a VIP trip to IndieCade to showcase their games and meet industry titans...(Playstation, Oculus, Cartoon Network). 7aa9394dea Title: Game Jam The MovieProduction:CineForge MediaDistributor:Devolver Digital FilmsRelease Date: 15 Mar, 2018Country: United StatesVideo Resolution: 1080p(2GB)Aspect Ratio: 16:9Audio: StereoRunning Time: 52 minutes Game Jam The Movie Download No Survey No Password If you like montages to chip tunes BOY do I have the movie for you.Far too much of this "movie" is just padding. Lots of shots following people around walking to funky music. Not enough SEEING the games and SEEING the development. It's so bad that you don't see all of the games...in a movie about making 12 different unique games.And don't let the title fool you, only 30 minutes is dedicated to the jam itself, then its 30 minutes of presenting the two winners to some big name companies, which just isn't waht I was expecting.Also for how much they are charging the movie isn't even an hour long, and if you cut out all the bit-tune montages it'd be closer to 30 minutes. Again I love the idea and certain parts of the movie were really interesting and fun to see. But so much time is wasted on looking at big houses or shiny looking events than the actual development of the game. If that's your thing then enjoy but for anyone wanting to watch a close hour long film about the JAM itself and the stress\/drama it causes and how teams work so well in such a small amount of time. This just isn't for you. Disappointed.. Not a bad documentary if you've enjoyed all the other Game Jam & Indie Dev films & episodes from recently... however, I think it's sorely lacking in actual gameplay footage- can't tell much about even the winning games.. This is a great glimpse into the world of indie development, especially regarding game jams. Teams are put under the clock and have to come out with a completed game in just 48 hours. Not to mention that their teammates might be total strangers. Then, the film progresses to a showcase and publisher pitch for the winning team(s). While all teams walk away with a portfolio piece, valuable experience, and new friends - some teams walk away with a chance to turn a hobby into a full-time gig.Great inspirational piece for aspiring developers and other creatives alike.. An inspiring popcorn flick about game development and following your dreams.This is a film for gamers, people interested in game development, or to get a surface level of understanding the world of game development. If you are a hardcore developer don't take this film too seriously. It's more of a heroes journey from realization of a concept to pitching your ideas to major distributors. Fun to watch young eager kids go after their dreams and see that it does pay off.. SPOILER:I thought this movie was awesome and here's why. The way that's it's produced or shot this movie is so 'raw". You feel present in the moment. You can feel the stress, tension, the clock counting down but you can also feel the creativity, positive energy. I'm impressed by how professional everyone remained during a 48 hour game jam. Everyone got along and they remained good sports through the end. As a gamer and a game developer I felt like I was there. This is like a Cinderella story for game developers. I mean these guys got to pitch to the big dogs and they got contracts! What better outcome could any of us want... Congrats to those dudes!! Great movie. I highly recommend. Spoiler: I do wish that PlayStation and Oculus would've allowed cameras in to watch the pitch but I understand why they didn't.. Wasn't sure what to expect, as I have never participated in a game jam. It was definitely interesting to see how you could potentially take a small independent game and pitch it to a major distributor. If anything, this certainly piqued my interest in game development. Oh, and thumbs up for the music selection. It would be cool to see a list of the songs in the film or a soundtrack or something, because that was arguably the best part.. Great look into the AZ indie development scene. I really enjoyed the soundtrack to the movie as well. As a fan of indie games, it was cool to see such passion and support from not only fellow developers, but from Game CoLab and the others behind the jam. I only wished it had been longer! I'd be interested to know about the winning teams future projects and what they're up to. A sequel perhaps?This is a really well done film about the creative process behind game development. It's motivated me to check out the jam in my city!. Really cool snapshot into the world of Game Jams and gave some cool insider perspective on how larger gaming companies are scouting up and coming talent. I liked the format of this doc a lot. It was quick and to the point and the pace captured the frenzy of game jams. This movie covered a considerably larger jam than the ones I have experienced, and it took place in what looked like a really cool setting. You got a glimpse at a large number of developers, their styles and processes and then got to know the winners a bit more intimately as they travel to California to meet with large gaming companies. I would have liked to learn more about the nuts and bolts of some of the developers wares and such, but ultimately this served as a great intro to game jams for aspiring devs and its a thumbs up. I'll follow these teams to see what they do with their games next.
