Between March 21st and 23rd, OXO, the Video Game Museum in Madrid, will host the exhibition of all the projects that were part of the Open Culture Game Jam.
Between 13 and 22 December, in face-to-face and online formats, takes place the seventh edition of the Game Jam Open Culture, an initiative organized by DEV with the support of Spanish Cultural Action to develop games using as a basis cultural content of public domain generated in Spain. During the contest, each team chooses the most evocative or inspiring reference material to create games from the creations of influential artists of Spanish culture.
Participants have 7 days - until December 22 - to develop games using as a basis public domain cultural content generated in Spain. The special theme of this edition will be music, an opportunity to celebrate the rich Spanish musical heritage and its cultural influences. Participants will be able to explore diverse musical expressions, from opera and classical music, to folk and contemporary rhythms, creating a collaborative space where creativity and innovation intertwine with tradition.
The jam has two modalities, online and in-person. The face-to-face modality is held in the new Creative Campus, the school of design and creative technology of the European University of Madrid, which will open its doors to participants on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 December, being able to continue their participation online through Sunday, Dec. 22. In the opening session on day 13, intellectual property professionals and musicians will give some ideas on how to deal with the topic of the jam.
The Game Jam Open Culture is born taking as a reference the "Public Domain Jam", which tried to encourage creators to use public domain licenses instead of continuing to make zombie games. This event picks up the torch and takes it to our country to claim all the culture that has been created within our borders.
The first six editions were a success of participation and attendance at the open days of showcasing the best video games created at the event. All games developed can be found here: https://itch.io/c/459508/jam-cultura-abiertas-collection
