The theme is: REPAIR

To celebrate REDspace's diversity and employees, this year we will be "taking part" in the annual Global Game Jam. We will be starting at the same time as the rest of the world, but we'll be finishing a little later than everyone else. GGJ will release it's theme, and you will have ~3 weeks to make a game, no extensions... 

Team signup sheets can be found here. Feel free to group up or work alone, all are welcome!

Unity will be supplying us with temporary licences for charitable causes, so feel free to take advantage of them during this awesome jam.

DONATIONS:

Donations will be free will offering, you don't have to donate to contribute or vote on the jam, but we'd like it if you do, REDspace will match anything you give, so let's put our generosity hats on! See more here: https://intranet.redspace.com/handbook/benefits/charitable-giving/

The plan is to donate to the IWK, but if anyone has a cooler organization, let it be known in the Game Jam's channel. In the mean time, here's the online donation page for the IWK: https://iwkfoundation.org/donate

IMPORTANT: if you unsubscribe from the IWK's emails, you will NOT be sent a receipt automatically, you will have to message them to be sent one. Here's the email: foundation@iwk.nshealth.ca
