TOJam hit Toronto on May 1st and kept going for 72 hours straight. The event is designed as sort of a high-speed NaNoWriMo for game developers, where participants take 3 days to spit out a game, both in teams and solo. Ryan was on hand to see what was going on and to get some advice from both veterans and rookies. Watch the video below. Photos can be had here too and check out Brendan Lynch's team portraits here. MORE PHOTOS!: Derek van Vliet's set.
