Hello fellow jammers,
Important announcement from Galway Game Jam:

There is a Red Weather Warning in place for Friday due to storm Éowyn. While it should have calmed by 6pm, volunteers and attendees may have difficulty making it safely to the PorterShed.

So we are moving the Friday session online to our discord.

Keep an eye out for further announcements through the discord and our other channels including our website.
