Delhi :
JS Institute of Design (JSID), a new-age design institute in New Delhi turned
its campus into a creative playground from January 23rd to 25th as it hosted
the Global Game Jam 2025, the world’s largest game creation event. Over
the course of 48 hours, 57+ passionate jammers formed more than 10 teams,
working together to bring 15 unique games to life. The event, which drew 60+
registrations, showcased the power of collaboration, creativity, and
determination in the world of game design.
Three
standout creations emerged as winners in Delhi: Bubble of Life received the award
for Best Theme Interpretation, Puck Puck Puck won for Best Gameplay, and Bablu
Bhayankar was recognized for its exceptional art design. These games not only
impressed the judges but also highlighted the immense talent of the local
gaming community.
Reflecting
on the event, Nien Siao, Dean of JS Institute of Design, said, “The key for tomorrow’s
designers lies in artistic vision. Events like the Global Game Jam give young
creators the chance to turn their bold ideas into reality. It’s inspiring to see
so much talent and enthusiasm coming together to shape the future of
gaming.”
The Global
Game Jam is much more than a competition. It’s an opportunity for aspiring game
developers to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another. For JSID
students, it was a chance to work alongside industry professionals, explore new
techniques, and gain practical experience in game development.
With
India’s gaming industry growing at an impressive rate, events like these
provide the perfect platform for students and young developers to step into the
spotlight. By hosting the Global Game Jam, JSID has once again demonstrated its
commitment to nurturing creativity, fostering collaboration, and preparing its
students for careers in this dynamic and exciting field.
