Reminder that the #anythingJam @atjscreams and me are hosting on #itchio starts on Thursday!

itch.io/jam/glitch-gfx-jam

It is a jam focusing on using graphics from the (defunct and open sourced) game Glitch!

Beginner friendly and there's resources listed for easy ways to make your #game or #zine or #music single or whatever!

It is a whole month long so lots of time to make a little thing even :D

itch.ioGlitch GFX JamA game jam from 2025-04-04 to 2025-05-19 hosted by Aldercone Studio & atjscreams. # Welcome to the GLITCH GFX JAM! Use Glitch graphics for your Itch Project! ## The graphics themselves! pngs: https://opengameart.org/content/glitch-s...

I took part in #PyWeek 39 over the weekend and made a game in #PyScript. It's a single-tap rhythm game. Should work on any desktop browser and most new phones. It was a fun challenge to make a game where the realtime music sync is so important. You want to let people tap a little too late and still have the game allow it. You want it to be playable with Bluetooth headphones and keyboards that add a lot of latency.

itch.ioSubmissions to LÖVE Jam 2025

There's a game jam happening right now on Itch called something like 32-Bit Jam or something where the jam is about taking an existing unfinished PS1/N64-style project and finish it. Like that is so perfect for my other game project, but before this jam started I promised myself I'd work and finish Witch Brew Dive first. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Fuck! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I don't have to use a game jam as an excuse to work on the other project, but it's really nice knowing that at least a small number of players (other jammers) will play the game. I've never posted a project without it being part of a jam, so I don't know what to expect when it comes to releasing the game outside of a jam.

Look at this extremely cool game jam that's ongoing with plenty of time still left:

Narrative Alchemy Jam 2025
itch.io/jam/narrative-alchemy-

*This is a jam for transformative narrative games of all kinds. It will be judged by me (Chance). Since I prefer to cultivate a collaborative rather than a competitive environment, and since judging is often highly subjective, I have chosen to use the word "Favorite" rather than "Best" for the award categories:

Favorite Educational Game - Open to educators and non-educators, as long as your game teaches something intended to be useful for players' personal growth or learning.

Favorite Therapeutic Game - Please enter only if you're a therapist, social worker, psychologist, counselor, life coach, neurodiversity researcher, etc. Games about therapy or therapeutic topics are allowed in other categories; this category is specifically for games intended for use as part of a therapy session.

Favorite Spiritual or Religious Game - You don't need to be clergy to submit to this category. Religious fundamentalists, including militant atheists, are not welcome.

Favorite Recreational Game - This is for games primarily intended to be fun to play, while also exploring a thought-provoking or emotionally resonant theme / genre.

Favorite Serious Game - This is for games intended to be thought-provoking, emotionally intense, or culturally important, but not necessarily fun or light-hearted.

Entering multiple categories is allowed, as long as it makes sense for your game. The only two categories that are mutually exclusive are "Favorite Recreational Game" and "Favorite Serious Game".

Since I'm a TTRPG and LARP designer with academic training in transformative role-playing game design, this jam is primarily geared toward analog, physical games. But if you're a CRPG or visual novel designer with an idea that fits, go for it! Some of my favorite transformative narrative games are computer games (e.g. The Longest Journey, The Talos Principle, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Disco Elysium).*
