Code the change you wish to see:
Make the games so 2020 won't be!

The D2020 Global Gameathon is a call for 2020 developers to make inspiring games that change 2020 things for the better so that the year 2020 won't be a dystopia where hindsight is 20/20. 

D2020 games will cover topics like employment, empowerment, agriculture, energy, health, transportation, and more.

  • If you’re new to developing, try Code Hero - this is a game that teaches people how to code, and create their own game.
  • if you already have a project in mind, you can pitch your project on the D2020 platform.
  • If you’re a coder and are looking to get involved, you can join any of the existing games on the platform.

Join the D2020 community today to get started. We have 8 years to go.

How does it work?

  • D2020 is the game platform that allows anyone to learn to program a game to help others solve problems
  • A Game can be developed by one to many globally located members
  • A Game gets created following easy to follow game templates like our D2020: Metagame Renpy Visual Novel and Code Hero's Unity 3D starter projects.
