IndieGameStand's 12 Days of Christmas for Charity!

IndieGameStand has set up a genius - and awesome! - collection of free games that are being sold 100% for charity. Each day from December 18th to the 29th, two new games are revealed for "sale" for you to name your own price on (minimum 25 cents). Just like any of their other game sales, whoever contributes the most on a particular game will get a free t-shirt, and they don't even take the t-shirt price out of the donations - they pay for those out of their own pockets!

All of the money contributed - $1,555.38 as of today, December 20th at 11:45am - goes to Child's Play, one of my favorite charities, which makes it even  more awesome! IndieGameStand has put a good amount of work into this one, and it really is for an awesome cause, so check it out! Worst case, you'll find out about a whole bunch of games that you can get for as little as 25 cents each (or probably Google to find for free, but hey, it's charity!).

Charity Game Jam II Turbo Coming November 23-30!

The awesomest promo image for a game jam ever, btw.

One Game a Month and Games for Change, two really awesome things on their own, are coming together this time around for Charity Game Jam II Turbo! The concept is really simple but really great - game developers can make a game specifically for the CGJ or edit one they've already made, but either way the game needs a "Donate to Charity" button that's been specifically made within the game. This link can go to any charity that the developer chooses! With any luck, this will not only get a bunch of fun indie games made and shared, it'll help raise money for charities as well!

But don't just take it from me, check out the keynote video below!

I plan on making a game for this myself, although I still have no idea what I'll make... If you're a fellow game developer, I really hope you'll try to come up with something too! Regardless, however, expect some fun, creative games to be listed on the site soon! :D
