With the news of the passing of David Lynch, I want to take the moment and honor his legacy by holding a game jam. 

David was a person that showed us what film as art could be. Wild, strange, and odd, sometimes to the point of little understanding. He understood that the things we can make can be vast and weird and that people that understood what you were trying to say would get it. And those that didn't but tried were the ones to keep with you.

This jam is to honor him and you, the person reading this, as well. Created beyond your wild heart. The strange and weird. The surreal, unlikely yet beautiful thing that is your heart.

For this jam, let us bring the uncanny, the surreal, the strange, and beyond to our creations. Meet our heart where it lies at the crossroads of what we create and how. Make something that makes the wide universe of you mind and body sing with delight.  

And then sing louder.

Disturb the complacent and mystify the disquieted. 
Love one another.

RULES:

Before you even ask, NO GenAI is allowed. Don't even try.
Influences from David's work should be listed in the game (or writing) Inspirations page. You may also take inspiration from David's unwillingness to ever compromise his art. (AKA make something REAL weird)
If you need a list of the best known films by David Lynch here (the Criterion Collection) is a good resource.
For the rest of his expansive body of work, go here.
You can also find his work on the Internet Archive (this has some of his films mixed with other videos of David. It may take some digging.)
