Sneaky Bastards: The Stealth Gaming Blog is proud to be partnering with Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) and iFEST: The Independent Games Festival to launch Stealthjam: The World’s First Global Stealth Game Jam in Sydney!

Stealthjam is a 48-hour Game Jam in which participants will design, prototype and explore new avenues of stealth gameplay.

The Global Stealth Game Jam will kick off in Sydney, where Sneaky Bastards and AIE staff will host Stealthjam from the 22nd to the 24th of June.

All games developed in the Sydney Stealthjam will be entered into iFEST’s game development competition for the chance to win some awesome prizes!

Though Stealthjam begins in Sydney, it has already begun to spread further, with further locations around Australia as well as Ontario, Darmstadt and more, making Stealthjam a global event.

Participants will be hearing from 2012’s prominent independent stealth developers, including:

Andy Schatz (Monaco, Pocketwatch Games)
Nels Anderson (Mark of the Ninja, Klei Entertainment)
Tom Francis (Gunpoint, Suspicious Developments)
Dan Silvers (Children of Liberty, Lantana Games)

…as well as some of the biggest names in stealth gaming that have yet to be revealed!
