Retro & Indie gaming
Joypad’s famous ‘Joy Pods’ will be out in force. Letting you grab a beer and drift back to those halcyon days of blue hedgehogs and Italian plumbers. A selection of pre-release indie titles will also be playable on the JoyJam floor.
If you have a game that you’d like to share with the JoyJam community you will find space to set up and get some free testing and feedback - games/prototypes at all stages welcome!

Table top gaming
James Wallis (GameCamp/Southbank University/Spaaace) will be hosting our dedicated table top room and guiding you through the cornucopia of incredible experiences to be had when gaming in the physical world.
If you have a game that you’ve always wanted to play or a prototype to try out - bring it along and round up some players!

Hack space / Asset Exchange
Bring your prototypes, early builds, DAWs, design ideas, custom controllers, tablets, laptops, mics… The JoyJam Asset Exchange aims to play cupid to all budding devs and asset creators. Let’s get it on!

Music
As if that wasn’t enough: chip renaissance man, Sam Wray (aka 2xAA), will be playing us out with a live chiptune set at the end of the evening.

Drinks
Joypad will be operating a fully stocked (cash only) bar for those who require some social lubricant, no outside drinks are allowed at the event.

Tis the season to be spooky and here at Joypad we are all geared up for one wicked party. Because everyone liked the Hot Doges, this month’s #superwarehouse will be another 10 hour gaming/dancing/partying BEHEMOTH of a shindig with DOUBLE THE GAMES and DOUBLE THE TUNAGE. As even the most hardened party animals need refreshment - we’ll be providing barbecued goodness in our courtyard throughout the day. We’ll also be doing pumpkin carving in the afternoon session. Fancy dress is not required but we will be handing out a special prize for the best costume of the afternoon and evening sessions.

SUPER WAREHOUSE GAMING PARTY! is a party in a warehouse crammed wall to wall with games (and a dance floor). It’s super.
