The time is soon upon us, the 2020 Desert Bus for Hope Game Jam is coming! 

For those who have not heard of it before, Desert Bus for Hope is a charity run in support of Child's Play.  Done every year, it runs for about a week while the cast and crew act for chats amusement in the pursuit of donations. At time of this post it has raised over 6 million and it's not about to stop now!


This game jam is run by fans, for fans. If you are interested in joining, or just have questions, please visit our Discord channel here (hosted by Loading Ready Run.) All submissions will be backed up by the wonderful VideoStrikeTeam.

I want to remind folks as well that this is a nearly week long jam that takes place, and no one is expected to be around the entire time. More then ever before, we want people to have fun, and not stress themselves out over details.

The official start of the game jam, and this years prompt, will start a few hours after the opening of the charity run itself.

The prompt for 2020 is, The DEVICE

For those lacking context it is a famous object that causes all kinds of input trouble between Driver and Bus, there is many references to it and a near cult formed around it. For questions about The DEVICE please poke into the Desert Bus discord channel!
