>>> ✨ 🚨 Discord 🚨 ✨ <<<

I used to spend the entire week of GDQ staring at Twitch and doing literally nothing else, so I started this game jam as an excuse to do something constructive at the same time.  Lately I'm usually too busy with larger games to watch GDQ or make smaller games, but maybe it would serve as a good break for me?  Anyway you can do it too if you want!

Just make a game during SGDQ!  This is super low-pressure — "make" and "game" are for you to define.  Just do whatever you want.

The jam runs from the moment SGDQ starts until 24 hours after it ends, according to the final state of the GDQ schedule.  (It gets updated over the course of the week, and always ends up running late by a few hours.)

There are no rules and everyone wins!  But please do play your fellow devs' games!

If you need a theme, well, it's June!  Which is moth season!  Make a moth game.  I don't know.  Maybe try this game jam theme generator.

If you've never made a game before, this is a great time to give it a shot.  Expectations are not high for a jam themed around "make a game while you're distracted doing something else".  Consider any of these whatsits:

• Ren'Py, for visual novels
• Twine, for choose your own adventures
• PuzzleScript, for tile-based puzzle games
• MegaZeux, for adventure games with a classic DOS aesthetic (but playable on the web)
• Bitsy, for microscopic journeys
• GBStudio, for Game Boy games, but more easily than doing it from scratch

Or you could make levels for an existing game:

• Lexy's Labyrinth, my Chip's Challenge® emulator, has a built-in level editor
• Baba Is You has a level editor, which can also be used for things that are less puzzley and more exploratory
• Doom is perhaps the most moddable game of all time, and I once wrote a series on how to map for it

Or you could hit up the Discord if you want more ideas, or to find a team, or whatever.  Y'know, just, like, whatever.
