Participants will be supplied with parts for a USB game controller, crafting materials, and programming assistance (Raspberry Pico-based devices). If you have your own laptop please feel free to bring it along, but don’t worry if you don’t have one as machines will be provided.https://www.gamecraft.it/events/cork-gamecraft-2024/Fri, 16 Feb 2024 09:30:00 +0000https://www.gamecraft.it/events/cork-gamecraft-2024/We are so excited to be back at Douglas Street Campus (previously known as St John’s College) after a hiatus. For those new to game jams, it’s an event where a theme is announced and you try to make a game based on the theme in a silly amount of time - in this case one day. It’s a great way to try out an idea, or break out of a perfectionist mindset.https://www.gamecraft.it/events/altctrljam-2023/Sat, 04 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0100https://www.gamecraft.it/events/altctrljam-2023/Ever thought game controllers were too boring? Buttons too predictable or where you expect them to be? Here’s your chance to build your own take on what a controller should be. Build an alternative controller for a game you love or make a game harder with hard to master controls! Write your own game and build a controller to match! This workshop will help you build a custom game controller with some basic crafting and a tiny dash of electronics.https://www.gamecraft.it/events/cork-game-jam-2023/Sat, 23 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0000https://www.gamecraft.it/events/cork-game-jam-2023/🌈 GameCraft is delighted to be a community partner of “Cork Game Jam 2023”.

The main objective of the project is to strengthen the European VET capacity to recognise and manage cybersecurity threats (e. g. phishing attacks, botnets, financial and banking frauds, data fraud et.). The project will help to improve the skills of VET educators in relation to management of cybersecurity threats, which is very important especially considering their central role in the knowledge transfer of good practices and skills to their students.https://www.gamecraft.it/events/cork-gamecraft-2020/Fri, 20 Mar 2020 09:30:00 +0000https://www.gamecraft.it/events/cork-gamecraft-2020/IMPORTANT UPDATE - Cork GameCraft Cancelled Due to recent news on our government’s advice about group events around Ireland to be cancelled, GameCraft Foundation and St John’s College have agreed to postpone the upcoming Cork GameCraft.

And sometimes he’d get so involved in what he was doing that he’d wander off and we’d find him standing in the neighbours paddling pool.https://www.gamecraft.it/events/new-york-gamecraft-2013/Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:00:00 +0000https://www.gamecraft.it/events/new-york-gamecraft-2013/Our first transatlantic venture and was hosted at Dumbo Loft by Skills Matter.
