Come join members of Knoxville Game Design for the Summer ’18 game jam kickoff meeting at Token Game Tavern on Friday August 10, 2018!.

This kickoff will start at 6pm Eastern Time, since the theme announcement has been moved up to 6pm for this game jam.  The start time for the following game jam event in December 2018 will supposedly revert back to 9pm.

We will be meeting at Token Game Tavern (213 N Seven Oaks Dr Knoxville, Tennessee 37922) at the start game jam theme announcement.

We will discuss our thoughts on the theme and attempt to do a short podcast recording.  There will not be an online Google Hangout for August 2018.  We will resume the online meeting in September 2018, which will tentatively be a showoff of the games that we create for Summer ’18.
