Our annual Climate Game Jam, co-organized with IndieCade, kicked off one month ago… and it’s only now coming to an end! Instead of the weekend jams we used to host at Pacific Science Center or at UW, or our recent annual week-long virtual jams, this year we’re using the Greenlight Jam format. There are different week-long sprints, including ideation, prototyping, production, and marketing.
It’s turning out to be a huge success! Over 400 jammers have registered, and 67 prototypes were submitted during the second week sprint (59 are playable here). The amount of talent and creativity displayed among the jammers is just incredible! We can’t wait to see the final submissions soon.
In other news, a climate change version of the classic board game Catan was recently released, called Catan: New Energies. Grist recently interviewed Dargan for their article about the game, who said “It’s just more evidence that people have climate change at the top of their minds now… There’s demand for ways to think about it, deal with it, in fun ways.”
