Why You Should Visit

For two days, the Kyoto International Manga Museum hosts nine original games built by Kyoto Seika University students during the BitSummit Game Jam, and every one is playable. The student creators are on hand to hear what you think, and their design documents and pitch materials are on display too. A round-table looking back at the Game Jam runs at 14:00 on both days. The showcase itself is free with museum admission, so it slots easily into a visit to the manga collection, and works well as a rainy-day stop with kids.
