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, and offer advice and cheer to 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!
In any case, 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 October two themes got the same amount of votes! This happens so often we should give up and have "twins" as the theme for every month from now on. The themes are…
😱 Collecting Frights
or/and
💥 We Have A Breach!
You can make your game about buying Collectible Card Game booster packs and then checking your bank account at the end of the month. Or about protecting your evil corporation from the cybersecurity attacks of a disgruntled employee breaking the terms of their contract. Or you can combine the themes and do a game about the usual drooling alien that got onboard your starship at the last pit stop. Do one! Do the other! Do both! Do none of those and instead do your own thing! As always, it is up to you! The jam accepts everything and anything you make.
As always, thanks for joining us, and have fun!
