This jam is now over. It ran from 2023-04-08 00:00:00 to 2023-04-29 03:59:59.
The theme for Cause Jam VIII will be announced on Discord
Welcome to Cause Jam! This isn't just your ordinary game jam. This is a game jam that will help kids for life.
Games created for Cause Jam will be included in charity bundles sold to raise money to support children in hospitals. Every game you create for this cause will get publicity as a part of our bundles, get placed in the hands of industry veterans for judging and feedback, and could even win awards and be brought to industry conferences for further recognition.
Every bundle sold helps one child. Every game added makes the bundles better. Every person contributing is making a difference.
We want to help children in hospitals, and we want to help you in your game development journey. That's why together we help children in hospitals, we also want to provide coaching from game industry professionals, direct feedback from industry veterans, and resources to support you.
