After keynote video is played, the committee starts to give the theme for this GGJ. The theme sounds unique enough and challenging:</p><p>We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are</p><p>Of course, the participants are free to interpret and pour the theme into game the way they understand the respective theme. Although the participants have already known the theme will be used, but the committee keep warning them so they wont leak that theme into social media to respect last time zone in Hawaii which is started around next 20 hours. Yes, the Global Game Jam event follows local time zone, from developing start until result uploading time in next Sunday. Besides theme mentioned above, as I have written before, GGJ 2014 also has 14 Diversifiers which is not a must to be used, but will add the beauty of game if they are used. One game maximum may use four out of those fourteen theme Diversifiers.</p><p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-136964" alt="Global Game Jam 2014 Surabaya" src="http://www.duniaku.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/duniaku-gadasggj-3-640x426.jpg" width="640" height="426" /></p><p>Exactly after theme announcement, and shout together Jam On! which is the slogan of GGJ 2014, participants start to spread out to find their companions to spend the weekend in creating game.
