During the last weekend, Santa Clara
Games with
PintxoDeveloper Videogame
Association
co-hosted the
"Hackathon!!!" gamejam event
as part of the Olatutalka 2014 Festival in Donostia-San Sebastián
(Basque Country).
The "Hackathon!!!" is an event in which participants, known as
'jammers', accept the challenge to develop a videogame around a common
theme having just 48 hours. This year the theme was the
Donostia-San Sebastián's
Flag.

"Hackathon!!!" theme during his keynote[/caption]
During the "Hackathon!!!" event several activities were performed in
parallel. The main purpose was to spread the videogames culture around
the city. On Saturday we screened "Indie Game: The
Movie" documentary for free, and ran
a Hama Beads
Workshop
on Sunday for the kids.
[caption id="attachment_1038" align="aligncenter"

Saturday morning, jammers at work. Crunch time came later...[/caption]
The Hama Beads Workshop was mainly focused on kids. We teached
them how to make their favourite videogames figurines characters. It was
a huge success! Even parents liked to participate building their owns :)

Santa Clara Games team managed to make a game too. We hit our limit of
non-sleep-hours (44 for @ipuntom, 46 for
@gravstar... nice record, but don't try
it at home kids, it's not healthy) and managed to accomplish the
challenge. The result was the videogame known as "RETURN TO CASTLE
URGULL".

The feedback received from jammers and from who attended during
the final day showcase, gives us strenght to polish, improve and finish
the game so, STAY TUNNED FOR MORE!!
