TOJam, in case you've somehow missed our coverage of the event for the past two years running (shame!), is Toronto's first and only video game development jam. This city is full of people with indie game-making chops (some of whom may soon have steady work, if Ubisoft decides to staff up with local talent). Since 2006, TOJam has been an annual focal point for all that technical prowess and creative energy.

On Eastern Avenue, just south of where Queen Street meets King Street, deep in a little pocket of industrial buildings wedged between Corktown and the Don Valley Parkway, is a junk-strewn brick building known, somewhat euphemistically, as "Innovation Toronto." It's been used at various times as a steel mill, a set for a TV series, and, allegedly, a homeless shelter.

The third annual Toronto Independent Game Development Jam ran from the 9th to the 11th of May this year with over 125 developers managing to produce 34 different games across the intense three day period, and their pain is now our pleasure as all of the successfully completed games have been released online.
