Sam Baeseman

Howdy! I’m Sam, a MN-based 3D artist and community organizer, with a background in art education. I’ve been working in games + animation for 3+ years, as well as serving as a board member of my local IGDA chapter, facilitating talks, events, and other services to uplift Twin Cities gamedevs. In my free time I lead a small team in developing Grape Juice City, a cartoony, 3D, party platformer about birds competing for juice fame!

GDEX 2025 Session: Asset Jams: Using Peer Pressure to Hack Your Productivity! | Have you ever struggled with motivation? To make progress on a project, learn a new skill, or stay consistent with your favorite tools? Or maybe you struggle to keep up with a community of peers? Well, then maybe you should start a jam! (or join ours!) Hang out with the staff of JAMA Jam, the midwestern based and focused asset jam, as we discuss the value of jams and other low-stakes creative activities to expand your community and your skills as a gamedev (all while having FUN with it too)!!
