Nova Scotia's first-ever Global Game Jam held earlier this year revealed just how much pent-up demand there is in the province for opportunities to experiment with video-game development. More than 200 people in Halifax, Yarmouth, and New Glasgow showed up in person for the hackathon-style event, which challenged teams to build a game in less than 48 hours.
