Halloween jam 2024

Even if you don’t end it in time. I think you will ace the deadline. But even if you don’t when you end it would be in the Halloween jam as a honorary entry as everyone else that ends up a game out of date.

And that is my cheer to anyone even if you can’t finish if you end a week later or something like that you go to the Honour list.

Hey yall,

I never participated in a writing jam before and would like to know the submission rules (apologies if they are already stated, I couldn’t find them).

So do we create a public link in moodylink and then send it via direct message…???

The rules are all up in the original post of this topic, pretty much. But yeah, you would finish the game with a moody or dash link then send it to Mara via PM’s. Happy writing!

First, WELCOME. I will pm you to respond any extra doubt you can have but it is like @ViIsBae has commented.

You write a game about the theme with choices and consequences over 2k words.
In any engine that allows choices and let have a public online link.

If you need testing or yoj finished the game you send the link to me as games can’t be public until the end of the jam and opening of the opening voting week

Got a bit set back recently but still thumping. Going to forge ahead as hard as I can over the next week or two, hopefully over a few quiet shifts and late mornings, and then go back to flesh everything out a bit further for the first edit.

How’re we all feeling? Still having fun with it?

I’m having anxiety problems and I’m not writing. :sweat_smile: But I have a solid beat sheet and a vague plan, so I’m still hoping I’ll find the time to pull it off.

I am doing too many events when I am planning a Zeldaton in spanish and the jam here in English lol.

I wrote in Spanish here and In English there. And almost gave the shopping list to my dad in English instead of Galician.

TOO MANY LANGUAGES

Up to almost 25k words. Been slow-going since I was sick and had exams and presentations to work on. But I’m getting there. Nearly done with the most dense part of the game, then pretty soon, I can get to the big climactic climax of this mini-whodunnit. Cutting it close, but I think I can do it.

I guess that makes mine a micro-whodunnit. :stuck_out_tongue:
