Summary

The Indie Train Jam is a 52-hour game jam held each year aboard an Amtrak train between Chicago and San Francisco. Working in small teams, indie devs improvise a working game over just a few days. Train Jam is made all the more special by its limitations. It's also a beautiful trip, carrying people through the plains of Nebraska to Denver, across the Rocky Mountains and down into Utah before picking its way back and forth through the Sierra Nevada mountains. My guest today is Adriel Wallick, the organizer of Train Jam and a game developer herself. For more on Train Jam, head to www.trainjam.com.
