This jam is now over. It ran from 2020-07-31 22:00:00 to 2020-08-31 22:00:00. View 4 entries

This is the third of, hopefully, many monthly game jams in which we create micro games together. There will be a new jam at the beginning of each month, providing you with a theme and some resources on how to create games. This is aimed at tabletop rpgs, larps, storygames and the like, if you want to make a video game there are many, many more game jams you could participate in.

You can do it too! You do not need to be a professional designer, this is a space to learn and experiment and I hope some people make their first games and submit them here. Come join us!

You can find a list of resources here.

This Months Theme: Cycles (as in, for example, Groundhog Day)

Why?

I am hoping to get people who have been wanting to make games to actually do it. The form factor makes this easier and less daunting than a giant 300 page monster. Another hope is to connect people. I hope people make new contacts and find new creators that are usually not in the spotlight. It is also an exercise in writing, design and layout as well as a prompt to consistently create new work. I hope people try things they would not try when making a larger, commercial product. Experiment!

If you want to get involved in running this jam, want to suggest themes for the future or want to recommend some resources on how to create games you can contact me on twitter or leave a comment in the community forum. This game jam is greatly inspired by Grant Howitts One-Page games.
