The traditional game development marathon HKU GAME-JAM’22, organised every year by Hasan Kalyoncu University (HKU) to contribute to the development of the game and software sector and to support the training of agile software developers, was held at the weekend.
Organised by the HKU Software Student Society, 17 teams made up of 80 game developers who came together at the HKU Student Centre at the weekend developed 15 different games by the end of the tiring, sleepless 48-hour marathon.
Speaking after the presentations of the mobile games developed in the competition marathon, HKU Rector Prof. Dr. Türkay Dereli said, “Developing a game in 48 hours is not an easy process. During this process you sometimes go without sleep, but you steadily make progress and develop stronger games. It is also pleasing to see friends from different disciplines together in the competing teams. Developing 15 games in such a short time is a great success. This year, among the competitors there were also our high school students from the Deneyap Technology Workshops, and they placed among the winners. I congratulate all the game developers who took part in the event, and I thank our OSB Technopark and all the event sponsors for their support.”
Following the speech, the teams that placed in the competition were announced after the jury’s evaluation. Plaques were presented to the teams Task Force 241 (first), The Passengers (second) and Helikanon (third).
