Glad you were able to take part, I look forward to see how this turns out. My game is also far from finished, I'm also planning to carry on working on mine as I'm sure it is a workable concept.

We are going to take our experience from this year to develop the jam for next year. Although we only had a handful of submissions officially, annecdotaly it seems several libraries ran offline events connected to the jam so there were more games created than it appears on here.

Great stuff Ash, I'm working on a roleplaying game inspired by The Sandman: Worlds End, players take the role of characters left behind from the stories told. No artwork yet, I probably won't have chance to get any art done before the deadline but I'll carry on working on this game beyond the jam.

I'm definitely intending to run this again next year. I had big plans to support exactly the kind of thing that you mention but as is often the case I have had less time to devote to the jam that originally hoped.  This year has become a bit of a test, as long as we get some games created during the jam I take that as a success.

Do you mean where do you show which of the themes your game is connecting to? There should be an option to select this when you submit (if I have created it correctly)

Yes that is fine. We just want to get people making games so starting a few days early or reusing existing code is totally OK

Hello everyone, this is the space for people to introduce themselves to other participants (if you'd like - no pressure).

I'm one of the International Games Month committee and the coordinator for game jam. I will be moderating the community along with AshG.
In my day job I am a public librarian from the UK where I also have a particular focus on local history and music collections. My focus with games deisgn in on tabletop games, particularly rpgs.
