STEALTHJAM | The World's First Global Stealth Game Jam. 7 Day FPS Challenge. National Game Development Month. The Game Jam Survival Guide. The author of this book, Christer Kaitila, B.Sc. is a veteran video game developer with 17 years of professional experience. A hardcore gamer, dad, dungeon master, artist and musician, he never takes himself too seriously and loves what he does for a living: making games! A child of the arcade scene, he programmed his first videogame in the eighties, long before the internet or hard drives existed. The first programming language he ever learned was 6809 assembly language, followed by BASIC, Turbo Pascal, VB, C++, Lingo, PHP, Javascript, and finally ActionScript. He grew up as an elite BBS sysop in the MS-DOS era and was an active member of the demoscene in his teens.
He put himself through university by providing freelance software programming services for clients. Since then, he has been an active member of the indie game development community and is known by his fellow indies as Breakdance McFunkypants. Christer frequently joins game jams to keep his skills sharp. Game Jam The Documentary. Our Story I attended my first game jam without knowing what to expect, only that I would meet some new people and create audio for a few games. Working on sound design for games, I was curious to see the process a developer goes through while creating one. That quickly changed as I was the only sound floater that showed up…and my first jam literally turned into a 72-hour trial of my skills. I surpassed even my own expectations, so much so that I was one of a few people asked to talk about their TOJam experience at the Toronto IGDA Post Mortem event. After that hurricane weekend I had purged myself of any doubt, not only in my abilities, but on a personal level & socially; I had finally found the group of people I had been missing in my life.
About a week and a half before GGJ, I woke up at about 4 in the morning with the idea of filming the event.
