Oh, thank you so much for sharing, and I'm SO GLAD to hear about your experience! 🥹 This makes me so happy!

Thank YOU so much for sharing your experience! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 💕

Indeed we did! I love the design of yours - It's so cute and cozy!!

Ah, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy all the games!

Ahh, thank you so much for your comment! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the game, and that it helped unlock a story (and art!!) for you. 💕 If you share your work anywhere, I'd love to see it! 

I used the game Telomeres by Sleep Token for my first game... But I had another idea this morning while listening to We Live in a Strange World by Spiritbox, soooo there might be another submission coming soon! 

Hello folks! Just a quick check in on the status of the bundle - Because we do not have an even number of submissions, the funds received from sales are not able to be evenly split among those involved. I don't quite feel comfortable making a decision on who gets what sort of split from sales: Some folks were getting 5%, some 4%, but some as low as 2%, even when I tried to split it evenly. 

So, as much as I would like to have a bundle run, I don't think it's something that I can do in good conscience. I do, however, encourage each of you to update your games to at least allow for the PWYW check out, so folks can leave you tips when they download your game. 

Thank you all for your patience while I tried to get this working, and my apologies for not being able to get to it sooner. 
Have a wonderful rest of your spooky season, folks!  

Thank you for checking in on this - I unfortunately having had an opportunity to get the bundle setup, but it will get done before the end of the month! 

13 days left to get your games in, folks!

If you're needing any feedback or playtesting for your game, remember that we have a community here - There are likely some folks who would be happy to give you their thoughts. 

Looking forward to seeing your submissions! 

Oh, I love this! Wholesome spooky games are just so good! 

Oh my GOSH, what a cool concept! I can't wait to see what you put together - This sound spooky as heck! 

Would love to see a sequel to Village Witch - It's one of my favorite games! <3 

Hey, folks! Just a reminder that this is an autumn-themed jam for TTRPGs - If your submission is off topic, it will be removed. 

An additional reminder: If your submission has AI-generated art in it, it will be removed. 

If you have any questions about these reminders, please reach out. Thank you for your understanding! 

So, I love the idea of mundane stories: I always wonder about what the heroes are doing when they're not out saving the world! But it could be something you combine - A trick-or-treating mini game or supplement to go along with Nowpunk?

Please do!! 

Okay, I LOVE the idea of timers on a game like this. It really creates the sense of urgency and frantic energy that I think someone would have in a "final girl" sort of scenario! 

I think the idea of using something a can of sparkly water (or beverage of choice, maybe you want something stronger after finishing a harrowing game!) would be a really interesting mechanic for a timer. lol Could even go so far as to specify the Liquid Death canned water brand, just to be real on the nose. 

Ohhhh, HECK! This sounds so spooky and good! I can't wait to pick this up when you release. 🥰

OOH, a cult!! Definitely fits the Code Orange theme, and I'm VERY interested to hear more about it as you work on it!

Ooooh, okay, I love this! I feel like you could do something similar to Wretched & Alone (perhaps leave out the tumbling tower), and a deck of cards to provide different prompts about the lake. They have to collect specific things, perhaps, to allow them to leave?

Pre-existing projects are definitely welcome! 

(ha ha - See what I did there?)

So, what sort of goodies are y'all working on for the jam? 

I'll go first: I'm working on finalizing a game that I've had waiting in the wings for probably about six months now, called The Hedge Witch. It's not spooky, but it is a game where the player is a witch, and they use tarot cards to divine the future of the villagers and tourists of their small, coastal town. So many of my games use cards as a main mechanic, but this is the first one where I created everything from the ground up on my own, so I'm really proud of how this one is coming along. I definitely a bit of a kick in the rear, though, to get moving and really finish it for publication. 

Hey, folks! This post is going live about an hour before The Jam begins, and I just wanted to say that I'm super excited for you all to be here! Really looking forward to seeing everything that you all bring to this space.

Please feel free to use the community bounce ideas around, or ask for feedback! Especially if you're a newer designer, or if you're trying a new game style for the first time. We're all here to help each other learn and grow. 

Thanks again so much for joining the jam, and please be sure to use the #CodeOrangeJam hashtag wherever you post about your work! 

Thank you so much for sharing your link! <3 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the game, and I'm looking forward to reading your blog. 

Oh, gosh! Thank you so much for your kind words; I'm so glad you enjoyed the game. Just remember that you can always take another walk...
