Toasted Game jam is a game jam hosted by me, that takes place on itch.io twice a month. It will always run from the 7th to the 14th, and the 21st to the 28th. Voting is two days. The winner gets a winner role on the discord server, and in all future videos on my channel, their game and itch username will be included in a list of games that will pop up at a surprise time in the video. The jam has a theme and a catch. The catch is a surprise limitation you must follow. Think of the theme as a guide to helping you spark ideas. It is optional, but following it leads to a funner experience, trust me.

Finding ideas hard? Here's an asset set we reccomend for this jam:
How we reccomend you divide things up:
| Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 |
| Come up with a simple idea | Expand idea with a scope fit for a 3 day jam. Make concept art. | Finish off idea, get orginisation set up, set up basic mechanics | set up basic mechanics, continue development | Continue development | Continue development. Finish on day 6 - playtest (not by yourself, it's better) and set up itch.io page | Final touches, finish off itch page, make final export. |
Remember, planning is important.
And that's it. Enjoy!
