MolyJam 2012 – It’s Austin-flavored weirdness mixed with smart hackers, artists and musicians…. oh and lots of crazy awesome ideas

Sometimes, something comes along that’s perfect for the blend of creative and technology cultures of Austin.

MolyJam was a 48-hour game-jam hackathon. The aim of the event was to meet people, form teams and create new games over a 48-hour weekend based on the wacky and hilarious game ideas from the @petermolydeux twitter account.

The idea for the jam was conceived jokingly on Twitter, and resulted in a fantastic world-wide affair, with over 50 cities hosting their own local jams. We were proud to host the Austin version of it.  You can follow the event details, and the wonderful games that were created here: http://www.whatwouldmolydeux.com/.
