Themed Horror Game Jam #15

29th of September - 12th of November

Are you just starting out with game development or are you already an experienced game developer? Do you want to create a horror game? Are you looking for a game jam to motivate you to finally finish something? Are you willing to follow a certain theme, in order to find inspiration and maybe try something else you wouldn't normally consider? Whether you plan to make a serious, dark horror masterpiece or a B-movie style game about typical horror movie protagonists going into spooky places where no sane man would ever dare to tread, this game jam is for you! Hopefully, at the end of the game jam you will have something playable you can be proud of!

*Themes and bonus challenges will be revealed near the start of the game jam.*

Here's the link to the game jam!

does anyone want to collab on making a game?

Huh?

You created 3 seperate GameJams that all go from 28.09.2023 to 12.11.2023 ?

Feels a bit spam-y to me.

They were all entirely different from each other, so... *shrug*
