Time to bring back the late 90s! Your most X-treme 32bit games can be submitted during a very relaxed month long period.

Created in order to get more people excited about making games inspired by late 90s aesthetics, this jam is for any project that looks like it belongs in the PS1 era. It's the perfect opportunity for developers and artists interested in 3D to have their first stab at it, as simple 3D visuals are part of the aesthetic. Full 3D, 3D mixed with 2D, Full 2D submissions are ALL allowed, as long as they feel like they belong in the same graphical era.

 THEME: ANCIENT TECH

 GROUP ACTIVITY: NEOCITIES WEBRING

Anyone who submitted a game to the 32-bit jam and wants to partake gets someone else's submission randomly assigned to them, in a secret santa-style draw. The task is to make a straight-from-1997 NeoCities fansite for the game you were assigned! 

The activity is now over, here are the results of the 2020 Webring!
