New Beginnings Game Jam!

Is there a deadline to submit your entry? Like the last day of January? First week of February? That sort of thing :) from cherubim-scribes

We’d prefer the last day of January but we won’t be picky if you send it in a little later!


About two weeks left until the end of January! Don’t worry if you haven’t started working yet, the goal is to have fun and to create a game that you will be satisfied with, a new start to push you forward through the rest of this year.

Need some inspiration to help you work with the theme? Here’s one of my favorite bits of my gaming childhood, the character creation screen from Ultima VI. I pretty much got nowhere in the game because I was too young and uninterested to learn how to actually play, but I remember fondly going back to the character creation bit and answering questions of myself and what I believed in.


Hi! c: I have a question, is this for visual novel, or other game medium (like Twine, etc.) are allowed? from givekairiagun

Hey! Use absolutely anything you’d like to use! It doesn’t even have to be a digital game, you can submit rules for a tabletop game or a roleplay or whatever you like!


Let’s Jam! New Beginnings Jam is now open!

Up for a jam to get your gaming new year started? Then join us in the New Beginnings Game Jam! This is a jam for the month of January, where the goal is to create a game centered around beginnings, openings, starts, prologues, creation, and so on! Make any kind of game you want by the end of January, and submit it to this blog so it can be featured!
