NZ High School Game Jam Winners

Max Campbell and Josh Carson won the first New Zealand High School Game Jam. Where students had 3 weeks to build a video game from scratch with the theme "Aroha".

This year all the year 12 and 13 game design students spent the first three weeks of term one building a video game from scratch. Max and Josh got first place for their darkly comedic platformer "Potion Seller". Burnside students did well throughout submitting over a dozen games, far more than any other school.
