Last week I participated in #PROCJAM, an annual game jam hosted on itch.io now in it’s fourth year. The premise of Proc Jam is simple, make something that makes something.

Following our success with Type Fighter, we were approached by our University to develop a number of additional arcade games for a week of cyber security awareness (organised by UWE’s IT department). Towards the end of development I took the initiative to create a website to help publicise the games we created under the name Big…
Type Fighter is a jam game created by myself and a few friends over the period of a week, intended to be a fun little project for us to work on now that our final university year has concluded.
