UTASPlay UTAS ICT staff having a dev break by testing the Giant Margarita upcoming title #PartyPoppers :)

If nothing else, UTASPlay Jam is bringing together University of Tasmania students from ICT, fine arts, music, creative writing, and business. That would be enough, but they're doing so much great work together! Join our showcase online tomorrow at 4pm! :)

The third and final day of UTASPlay Jam is underway! If you'd like to join us for our showcase at 4pm this afternoon, link in via our discord event: discord.gg/6uv92zCc?event… or our Twitch stream: twitch.tv/utasplay

So far on our UTASPlay Jam showcase, we have games made in both Unity for Games and Unreal Engine, including art, narrative, music, and technology! Great work for two days work!! :)

Some more games made on our first UTASPlay Jam: rabid chickens, cleaning up before your parents get home, following the light and vampire lady beetles! All available to play at itch.io/jam/utas-jam/e…

I can't make it todays UTASPlay stream right now, but I WILL be watching at twitch.tv/utasplay :) Ian and Lake will be playing Rayman Legends and we have a BUCKETLOAD of new Party Poppers features to try out :)

I don't usually Tweet about govt jobs, but how often do games ones come up? The AusGov Office for the Arts digital games team is looking for a policy & program officer. This team didn't even exist until recently so it's exciting to see it grow under the new govt. Link: apsjobs.gov.au/s/job-details?…

Join us today on our stream! Should be a hoot!

BTW from this week the UTASPlay streams will be live from 1130 to 1230, due to timetabling clashes :) Will link todays game later!

We're hosting another extremely chill social meetup at Replay Bar in Hobart this Friday at 5PM! Come join, hang out, show your game, or just see what we're building! 🥳 Learn more: tasgamemakers.com/events/2022/07…

Stay tuned for all the Fun at our Aspirations Game Jam! Starting at 6pm today!

All good jams start with pizza :) #TasJam

It's all happening in ICT today! We're busy running both the Pecan+ Capture the Flag comp, and TasJam :)

Come visit us on the Sandy Bay campus today for Open Day! We'll have games, and security, and AI, and drones. Come play with us! :)

I’m not sure University of Tasmania as a whole knows how hard the UTAS ICT / @utasplay / Giant Margarita teams are working on keeping the uni relevant and cutting edge and well-known and respected in games, but they definitely deserve more recognition and kudos for it.

So what is 'Party Poppers'? Giant Margarita explains from the PAX Australia floor

Nice elevator pitch Ian Lewis -- we can tell he is losing his voice already, such is the power of Party games :) #paxaus #gamedev

.Ian Lewis and @Giant_Kristy put the cool in school peeps! Come hang out with us all at PAX Australia, Tassie is really representing this year! Here’s a pic of Jon, from Videogames @The_McJones and I being serious academic weirdos on our AI panel earlier today! UTAS ICT University of Tasmania Alex Sangston
