Welcome to another Week Sauce game jam!
If it is your first time joining us, you should know Week Sauce is not really a monthly jam, but more of a “work on a project for a few days without stressing about schedules” deal. We are all about having a good time while working on our games, so there is no competition, we are very loose with deadlines (just get in touch if you finish your project after the end of the month), and even looser on judging your work (as in, we will not). Participate, join our Discord to talk with us about your project, ask for help if you need it, and offer advice and cheer other participants.
Week Sauce is also a super friendly international community, open to people of all ages and levels of experience that just want to have a good supportive environment to work on their little creations, so if you know of somebody that would benefit from that, send them our way!
Anyway, every month the community in our Discord server votes for a (totally optional) theme, in case you need help getting the creative juices going. For August two different themes tied for first place, so as usual when this happens (that by the way, is way more often than I ever thought possible), you can use one, the other, both, or none. The themes are…
🕙 Time Travel
and/or
🌾 Harvest
Is your game about a blue police box with a penchant to always appear right before an apocalyptic situation develops? Is it about an apprentice grim reaper harvesting not-so-willing souls? Or about the dangerous paradoxes in crop rotation that emerge when you keep accelerating and decelerating time around your Farm Village? As always, it is up to you! And hey, if you don't feel inspired by this theme, remember that it is totally optional! The jam accepts everything and anything you make.
As always, thanks for joining us, and have fun!
