• RunJumpDev Games Made During Train Jam 2016

    This year, several members of RunJumpDev participated in the Train Jam. The Train Jam is a game jam that takes place aboard the California Zephyr — a train that runs from Chicago to Emeryville, California. Most of the developers aboard the train are bound to GDC, the game developers conference that takes place in San Francisco. Over the course of the 52 hours that the train makes its way across most of the continental US, jammers make a variety of games based on the theme presented.

    This years theme was Maximum Capacity.
    LAX16-5

    There were six members of RunJumpDev on board the train, as well as several pals from the surrounding area (hello Louisville Makes Games and the folks from Sigma Play). These are the games made by RunJumpDev members at this years Train Jam.
