The theme for June on Week Sauce, voted by our community on Discord, is…
🎎 Puppet Master
We accept it all, from traditional Punch and Judy shows, to the more furry creatures favored by Jim Henson fans, from manipulative mustache twirling masterminds, to more or less active rag dolls, games inspired by Metallica albums, or by dubious horror movie series from the 90s. Once more, it is all up to you!
And remember, if you don't like the theme we totally accept anything else you make for Week Sauce. Let's make some games!
About Week Sauce
What's Week Sauce anyway? It is a jam for people that want to participate on game jams but cannot commit to strict dates or enjoy being judged. It is a very chill, non-ranked jam, that doesn't have a lot of requirements. You only have to make a game (of any type, tabletop games included) in 7 days, and then publish it. More importantly, you don't need to make it in 7 consecutive days; you can decide what days work for you. We also don't care if it turns out to be 8 or 10 days instead of 7. You can work in any engines or programming languages, alone or with a team, and even the theme is completely optional. The only important thing here is to support you on developing and posting a very minimal game. It is a very a chill jam that hopefully helps you improve your game-making skills or break free of a creative rut.
You can join whether you are new to game development and looking for a no-pressure environment to start, or you just have a lot going on in your life and need a more flexible schedule. Although publishing a game on itch.io is not a requirement, we have been hosting jams here every month, and almost all our submissions have been through itch.io. So…
