The first iteration of GOOD BITS 2024: A Comedy Game Jam is a WRAP! A couple dozen comedy students and a lil handful of game dev students teamed up last weekend to make one giant chimera of a game under a short deadline.

During the kick-off on April 12th, the participants pivoted from working in small teams to actually working in one monster group. The students got tips and one-on-one mentorship from a panel of the best comedy writers and game developers and scholars in Chicago. Then they spent the weekend taking on a humongous, hilarious task like it was no big deal: these guys got to work writing, producing, illustrating, and coding a totally original comedy game, mostly communicating via Discord.

Now, these incredibly talented and dedicated students will be playtesting their game GET OFF MY CHANNEL live at The Annoyance Theatre on Sunday, April 21st at 5pm. There are guaranteed to be surprises. You won't want to miss it.

Purchase tickets at The Annoyance Theatre Website.

GOOD BITS: A Comedy Game Jam was hosted by DePaul University's School of Theater and Jarvis Innovation Center, in collaboration with VGA Gallery and The Onion
