The final countdown is officially here! Yesterday was a massive day of grinding at #GGJVancouver2026!
We have solo gods tacking every task themselves to the big teams collaborating on complex mechanics. The room was a powerhouse of focus and determination. 🔥

What a start! Day 1 at #GGJVancouver2026 was a total blast of creativity!! The energy in the room was so focused yesterday. From the moment the theme was revealed, we saw notebooks filling up, teams bonding over dinner from the food trucks, and the first lines of code being written.
