Enjoy the result of this incredible partnership between Webcore and Garena
At Garena’s request, Webcore created FF SQUAD, a fantasy sport game for Free Fire fans that turns the experience of following the LBFF (Brazilian League of Free Fire) into an engaging and gamified experience.

Depending on the actual performance of the pro players on those days, the player will receive more or less points. The more the player is aware of the events of the championship, the greater will be his chances to stand out in the overall ranking. The virtual coin value of pro players also varies depending on their performance in the real LBFF championship.
The game also features real pro player data so users have details about their favorite pro players’ performance over the past few weeks and make their best choices.

It Started!! Largest competitive game development marathon opens registration for the 5th edition.
GameJamPlus has a total duration of 7 months, with the mission of fostering the creative economy industry with new games and companies, combining the efforts and interests of the different poles of developers in the world
Coming in its 5th edition, GameJamPlus opens the sale of tickets for the biggest Game Jam focused on business in the world. This year, the competition broke the record for reach, reaching more than 30 countries and more than 100 cities, promising a close contest. “We know the potential of the participants and expect many surprises over these 7 months. We're looking forward to seeing all the new games coming out in October!” reveals Ian Rochlin, CEO of GameJamPlus.
In the 2020 edition, 281 games were created, which competed for 16 prize categories. The expectation for this edition is that approximately 500 new projects will pass through the first stage of the event, between October 8th and 12th. This is the moment where each registered city receives local competitors and competitors, starting production of the games.
This year's differential lies in the launch of Indie Hero, a company from the same creators as GameJamPlus, which aims to be the post-competition. "Every year we experience the creation of very promising projects, but which end up being shelved due to a lack of know-how in business planning", explains Rochlin, who adds that the objective of this new venture is to help independent game developers to conquer their places in this so disputed market.
Tickets are available at www.gamejamplus.com
