This jam is now over. It ran from 2024-01-21 05:00:00 to 2024-02-01 04:59:59.

Longgame Tech Innovation Jams are about helping you develop fun and interesting game mechanics that you can use later in other games.

The jam focus for LTIJ34 is a mechanic having to do with exaptation. This can mean whatever you want! It's simply some inspiration.

Don't feel pressured to make something super intricate or polished; it's more about having time to craft something you find interesting.

These game jams are about developing fun and interesting mechanics, public sharing of art, and promoting and encouraging Lisp.
