Halloween jam 2026

It doesn’t even to be an Isekai at genre. The goal is merge the words of the theme and play with them. And there are a lot of sci fi isekais as well. So yeah.

Anything goes always have something Isekai something poison and something Ai overlord.

Whatever those words meaning is up the writer

I have an incredibly silly idea that should be really short, so maybe I’ll actually enter a thing this year. Once I figure out how the new hosting thingy works. I haven’t tried uploading anything in ChoiceScript since the DashingDon days.

You can’t spell “isekai” without “AI.”

COGDemos has a few more settings, but it isn’t that much different upload-wise.

We are partners in crime at that. I have zero idea how it works. We will figure it out together. Or I will end up crying for help to havie. @Havenstone is my angel in disguise

You have a lot of time. And there is no need to write a giant game. Just focus on vibing, chill with the community and all that. And like always, people can pm for everything from asking stuff to just chatting.

Clicked on the post expecting to expecting to say I’d skip this year (to work on last years prompt which got wayy too big) but the prompt has me very intrigued… Might sit on it for a few weeks and try to write something very contained as a challenge if an idea comes together.

:partying_face: yay for another halloween jam! Ty as always Mara.

Oh man - can totally think of a few ideas for this one. Kind of fifty fifty on joining in as time is at a premium and I am so behind on my WIPs and pretty much everything else too! But what a cool concept for the jam!

If you try the one-day 2K game challenge, tell me, and I’ll try the same day, and we can have fun together comparing our games!

Well, it is a Halloween Jam, so my main goal is that the story is scary, creepy, or otherwise grim. I’ve already started writing but this would be my elevator pitch if I had to make one.

You wake up and an AI informs you and three others that you have eleven minutes to live. Will you?

The force preserves us. I think I have found my theme. I have to ask permission to @JimD but I think that my Isekai will be about Poison Mara entering a certain zombie game with the Most Toxic character, and the reason I ended up in this forum. Basically, to rage against Emma.

Zombies, Emma me with a dictionary attacking my sister to return normality… It will be chaos and finally, EMMA WILL DIE

(Am I like the only person left here – other than Jim, of course – who will get this ref?)

@Cataphrak Cata for sure gets it. He is as old as we are, Havie. And you three were the only ones that I would dare to do an Isekai. But Emma won. However, a certain character of your game cof coff… Breden That and Cata’s and your fan base would flog me alive and call me toxic if I were trying to write in your universes.

I got the weirdest idea I’m now considering writing where random people randomly pop into wrong universes because the multiverse is poisoned.

I have it worse, Cata. I am the only unpublished person left from the old prehistoric times of the forum. I am too stubborn to die, lol. That, or I have to publish something. But the forum would burn if I end up publishing lol.
