Episode 1 of Super Game Jam is out now on Steam

Steam moving into distributing film projects that deal with game development is no surprise. AfterIndie Game: The Movieand Valve’s ownFree to Playfilm, we’ve got the first episode ofSuper Game Jam.It’s a five-part series that follows pairs of indie developers as they crank out a game in 48 hours. The twist? All the games have to follow a theme set by the other development teams.

First up are Jan Willem Nijman of Vlambeer and Richard Boeser, who’s behind the upcomingIbb and Obb. The series is being published by Devolver Digital and filmed by Daniel Oliveria Canerio (a close personal friend) and Bram Ruiter (who I haven’t met but I’m sure is very talented).
